Review:This was my first Lalla Bains novel. I found the writing a little awkward and the plot was disjointed at times. It was an okay read but I can't say I am thirsting to read another Lalla Bains novel after reading this one. Read more

Review:London. Emily Castles (26) had been invited to a Halloween performance party.
Midori Hana-bi’ (Emily’s Japanese neighbor, DJ), Zizi (Midori’s sister), Jake, Chris, Zsa-Zsa (Midori’s sister), Rob, & Joszef “Joe” were there.
Emily & Joe (Hungarian) got to know one another.
Later there was a knife stuck in Zsa-Zsa’s chest. But not the kind her/sister Zizi used.
She later died.

2 Scotland Yard detectives showed up.
Will the murder mystery be solved?

Review:This book wasn't exactly up my alley; but regardless of that I feel the author did a fine job of writing a cinematic novel about Hollywood of the past through the cynical eyes behind the scenes manipulator of an aging movie star told in the language of a gossip column (including a bizarre, silly side story featuring Lillian Hellman).

Kids - this is quite different from all his previous novels. Read more

Review:Another madcap Florida history filled ride with Serge and Coleman. Dorsey manages to make this serial killer and his druggy friend protagonists of this bloody trail through rural true "south" Florida. Read more

Review:Serge Storms is a crazy, peculiar serial killer of really bad guys. And this is the newest story of his escapades. Set in Sunny Florida and not the state of amusement parks but the Everglades and alligators. This satirical look at cops and killer is quick read that is over the top in some stops and contrived in others. I thought I would like this novel based on the summary and other reviews but it was not one for me. Read more

Review:As always Tim, via Serge and Coleman, makes me smile and laugh out loud while learning new things about the state I'm from.
When I feel that I'd like to strangle the next person I run into, that justly deserves it, I read a Serge adventure and let him and Coleman take care of it for me.
I always feel better after a "date" with Serge! Read more
