OSCAR NOMINATIONS -- 2014
I am not familiar with most of the actors, and the only movie I want to see is The Imitation Game, although I think Benedict Cumberbatch is strange-looking. JMHO

THE LAST TEMPTATION - a Review
The Last Temptation
Gerrie Ferris Finger
Five Star, August 2012.
978-1-4328-2589-8
Hardcover
Moriah Dru, the heroine of the second book of a series featuring
Moriah and Atlanta Police Detective Richard Lake, has her own P.I.
agency and often works for the court. Her specialty is finding people,
especially missing children. In this instance, that of a nasty
divorce/child custody case, a woman and her teenage daughter go
missing in Palm Springs, California. Dru is sent to find them and to
bring young Linley Whitney home to her custodial father.
It isn’t long before Dru discovers this is not a routine case. Is
Linley’s mother, Eileen, alive or dead? If she’s dead, did Bradley
Whitney have his wife killed? Why? And then, more importantly, just
who is Bradley?
When Eileen’s blood is discovered at her present husband’s house, Dru
has almost too many suspects to chose from. Cross-dressers, perverts
of all sorts, an Indian princess, a fake Frenchman, a policeman named
Dartagnan.
The book is full of action and suspense; the mystery will keep you
guessing. The settings are good, the characters better. I’ll be
reading more by Gerrie Ferris Finger.

BLOOD, ASH & BONE - a Carl Brookins Review
Blood, Ash
& Bone
by Tina
Whittle
A 2013 HC release
from Poisoned Pen Press.
285 pages
Tai Randolph is an unusual character. She’s a southern
gun-shop owner with her own set of tattoos and a questionable background. She
also sports intimate contacts in her past with some seriously evil people,
people like KKK members, like gun and booze runners. She’s also one of the go-to
merchandisers of authentic costuming and equipment for Civil War re-enactors.
This novel is Randolph’s third adventure.
There are big re-enactment doings coming up and Randolph has
to pack up merchandise to set up at the Southeast Civil War Expo in Savannah.
The first problem is her history. Savannah is her home town, seat of her family
and scene of some of Tai’s most notorious escapades.
Complications arise almost immediately when her ex-lover a
scallywag biker-cum-independent entrepreneur enlists her aid in retrieving a
long-sought Bible, once thought to have been in the possession of both President
Lincoln and General Sherman. Is it real or just a Maguffin? If it’s real, it’s
worth a ton of money. According to John, Tai’s ex-boyfriend, the bible has been
purloined by Tai’s ex-roommate, Hope. Hope and John were a heavy item some time
ago but that relationship seems to have cooled.
Enter Tai’s current main squeeze, a seriously hot but damaged
ex-cop, now a security expert for an upscale security firm in Atlanta. He
obviously is highly suspicious of anything Tai’s ex boyfriend touches,
especially Tai. Now add some layers of interesting active honest and criminally
inclined citizens, some with too much money at hand and you have as rich a gumbo
as any reader could ask for.
The story is fast-paced, clean and highly evocative of the
place. Whether you’ve been to Savannah or not readers will revel in the city
scenes and waterfront activity. Whittle knows her characters, her setting and
how to tell a fine story. This one is an excellent novel.
A copy of the novel was supplied free of charge by the
publisher.
