Moonshine Murder
What a great title, right? Two words that drew me in from the get go! Moonshine is something my ancestors, okay maybe a few living right now, knew/know something about. We’ve had two family members get killed running moonshine. Keep in mind that Lookout Mountain, a fast car full of hooch and an angry revenuer don’t mix well. Murder, well heck who doesn’t like a good murder mystery? I’ve loved mysteries since delving into my mother’s collection of Agatha Christie books with a few Nancy Drews on the side.
My mind does dawdle. Back to the novel at hand. Betty Sullivan La Pierre does an excellent job of creating characters that intrigue. A sign of a good book is when you can’t hardly bear to put it down. That was the case with Moonshine Murder. I would read a chapter and mean to go to eat, bathroom, work, etc. but I’d get to the end and keep right on reading. It only took me a few days to read this story in its entirety. The integration of a realistic setting, a fast moving plot and brain tingling cliff hangers kept me enthralled ’til the end. The only problem I have with this series…I don’t have the first 13!
I encourage you to watch the entertaining trailer for this novel:

How men think…
I think my husband made this up because he says I talk all the time. He also says that he told me he loves me when we got married. If anything changes, he’ll let me know! Hahaha. What a man.
Do Good- and Good Things will come your way!
Happy New Year
I hope for everything you want and need in 2012!
Twelve Days of Christmas- Review
Twelve Days of Christmas by Trisha Ashley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read this book right before Christmas and it was my favorite holiday book this year. The characters were well developed, the plot was interesting and I found myself wanting to stay up all night so that I could finish it. (But then was disappointed when I did because I wanted to read more about this town!) Kudos to you, Trisha Ashley, as we say in the south- “You did good!”

Touched by Angels Review
Touched by Angels by Debbie Macomber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Debbie Macomber is a favorite of mine and I was so excited to read this book at Christmas time on my vacation. I didn’t realize that this was part of a series and series always hook me so I may read some of the others. Basically there were three stories in this book, one for each angel. Only one disappointed me- the one about the teacher, Brynn. As I read that one I noticed way too many parallels with the movie Dangerous Minds. The plot wasn’t similar it was almost exact. One of the student’s names was even the same. The only difference I noted was that in the book Brynn had a priest for her mentor where in the movie it was another teacher. In both the setting was a low income, mostly Hispanic, school. One of the students got pregnant, one died, the teacher decided to leave at the end and the students convinced her to stay. All of that happened in the movie Dangerous Minds. I guess all of us let things we’ve seen creep into our thoughts but this one was too much.
The story about Hannah and Joshua was wonderful and I loved it, as was the story about the dancer and the rancher- great plot.
