Tags: Blog Tour, Book Reviews, Get Loaded!When I finished reading “A Detailed Man,” my first reaction was a sigh of relief that David Swinson is no longer a cop.

Tags: Book ReviewsThe author Silvia Pettem contacted me last year to tell me about the book she was working on. While discussing “Cold Case Research” she hinted at another book she had written in 2009. If I wanted it, she’d send me a copy. She wrote that her heart was in that book.

Tags: Book Reviews, J.J. BrownMy second book review for “Blog Tour de Troops” is Estimated Time of Arrest by Delphine Pontvieux. The book is just like the eyes on the cover: different.
