"A Flicker in the Dark" by Stacy Willingham

In A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham, Chloe was 12 when six teenage girls went missing in her town.  Later, her own father confessed to being a serial killer and was put in prison.  Twenty years later, it happens again!  Why and who is behind this?  

I found this book to be very good.  The story line kept me engaged all the way and was surprised by the ending.  I was surprised how good this book was by a first-time author.  (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

"It's Better to Be Feared" by Seth Wickersham (Patriots Dynasty)


It's Better to Be Feared
by Seth Wickersham covers the 20-year run of the Patriots dynasty.  I really enjoyed this book!  It brought back so many great games and so many great players that made it all happen with lots of inside insights as well.  If you are a Patriots fan, this is a must read.  If you're not a fan, then you wouldn't want to read this book anyway.  (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

"Crime Scene Connection" by Deena Alexander

Crime Scene Connection
by Deena Alexander is about Addison who witnessed her mother's murder as a 3-yr-old hiding in a kitchen cabinet.  She wrote a murder mystery and now is trying to figure out who is doing real murders based on those in her book before other get killed, including herself!  She thinks it might be her ex-husband who is a dirty cop and who was abusive to her.  Jace, Addison's ex-husband's ex-partner, and his dog, Phoenix, try to protect Addison and in the process fall in love.  Although the romance part between Jace and Addison was predictable, I was surprised at who the killer was.  

This was a pretty good murder mystery with the personal journey of Addison and Jace learning to forgive and being drawn to each other.  It has suspense, mystery and romance all wrapped up together.  (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"City of Champions" by Hank Gola


I was not surprised that I enjoyed City of Champions by Hank Gola because it is a true story that I knew little or nothing about.  It is about a high school world championship football game in 1939.  Who knew?  Not me!  I liked reading about both teams and the coaches.  It shares good insights into both teams.  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
