The Bleiberg Project by David Khara

From the beginning I was engrossed by this book. Jeremy Corbin is a trader on Wall Street, he has been depressed and drinking quite a bit because of an accident in which he killed a young child. He learns his father is not who he thought he was. He was informed by CIA that his father was killed. He is given a Nazi medallion and put on a plane to Zurich accompanied by a female CIA agent who is quite beautiful. His mother is killed in a suspicious accident and they are being followed by a Mossad agent. Everything happens during the second world war and continues through present day. This is a well written plot with believable and great characters. ****I received this book from the publisher in return for an honest review*****

Murder at Mullings by Dorothy Cannell

Florence Norris is 14 years old when she begins at Mullings as a kitchen maid. The story gives background information of all the characters in a way you really get to know them. The storyline takes place over many years and begins with a suspected murder but can never be proved, the start of the story is in 1900. If you enjoy cozy mysteries in the countryside and a historical background you will love this book. ***I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review****

Who You Calling Silly by Kimberly R Lock

Overall this is a good book for those women who want to live by the beliefs of the Bible. I myself believe there is a higher being, but I think it should be a personal thing, this is more of a self help book. This author knows her biblical principles and is well organized in her writing and it is not boring. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to read a spiritual book. ****I received this book in exchange for an honest review****

The Frozen Dead by Bernard Minier

Policeman Martin Servaz makes his way through and investigation that has so many twists and turns he does not know what to think. The story takes place in the cold Pyrenees Mountains on the border between France and Spain. When you begin to read this book you will become mesmerized and you won't be able to put it down. A great storyline and most interesting characters. A book you can not miss. ***I received this book from the publisher in return for an honest review****

The Reluctant Jesus by Duncan Whitehead

This book was a mixture of science fiction,fantasy and religion. The storyline revolves around Jewish architect 32 year old Seth Miller. Seth's mother tells him he is the Messiah, he does not believe her, but when God calls him on the phone he accepts his calling. He tries to work a few miracles but to no avail, actually they backfire badly. This is a fun book to read, some spots made me laugh out loud. I highly recommend this book to people no matter what genre they prefer. Bravo!!!!! ***I received this book from the author in return for and honest review*****
