Something Deadly on Desert Drive

By

When you were growing up, what did you think your profession would be? Why? really had no idea. My mom thought I would have to be a librarian, since my main interest was reading. In high school, I got interested in photography, so I went to college for that. If I hadn’t gotten into the one art school I applied to, I might have trained to be an EMT.

Review of Deceived by Mary Keliikoa

Deceived is, in a sense, a coming-of-age novel. PI Kelly Pruett finally realizes who she is and how she must operate to feel successful in her job. This isn’t just another sleuth-knows-all tale, it’s one of grit, determination, and learning to adapt in a world filled with suspicion.

By

The Physicist’s Daughter feels like a very scientific mystery. The narrative is very analytical, detailed, and thorough. This approach is very much a double-edged sword.
