Review of Callie & the Dealer & A Dog Named Jake (Paperback)

We have vacationed in Nags Head a lot over the last 6 years.I felt like I was right there again.This was a great first mystery.I look forward to reading the next in the series.

Callie is a great character.She has a haunting past which by the end of the book she is starting to put behind her.I do hope that in future books she will start to make friends who can help her sleuth.

A restaurant at Nags Head is a great location for a mystery series and look forward to a long running of this series.

Highly recommend this book.

Product Description
Callie, a restaurateur on North Carolina's Outer Banks, has problems.Someone is stealing from the storeroom, her past is haunting her and a hurricane is blowing in...but things really get interesting when she finds a dead man in her freezer.

Review of Immaculate Midnight: A Jane Lawless Mystery (Paperback)

I was a little tentative about reading this book only because Hart had begun highlighting Jane's weaknesses and depression so much in the last two books that the series itself was becoming depressing to read.Although Jane's character isn't a ray of sunshine in this book, the suspense is tighter than it has been for a while.There is also greater attention paid to Jane's father, brother, and sister-in-law so that the family relationship and dysfunctions (and yes, Jane's family has them) are fleshed out.Cordelia is returned to her larger-than-life dramatic self and Jane does manage some self-relevations such that some progress for personal improvement is made.All-in-all, a solid effort to a very good series.
