Myself
Author: Leigh Santoro
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1491757868
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Doctor Theodore Teddy Thyme is one of the best in his field. He finds his professional work both industrious and enjoyable. Raine Justice Liverboardman will prove to be the ultimate challenge of Dr. Thymes entire career. Raine has been charged with attempted capital murder. Dr. Thyme is the psychiatrist chosen to examine Raine to determine if Raine is fit for trial. The case itself is hazy at best. No body had been discovered; yet Raine confessed to the murder. When Dr. Thyme meets Raine, he finds a person infected by evil and genius in equal quantities. He questions Raines family members and finds a history of bizarre, ghastly, and probably abusive people. Which may explain the murderous behavior of his patient. However, as the case goes to trial Dr. Thyme wonders if Raine is up to something more macabre. Some sort of sick joke, of sorts. Raine is certainly intelligent enough to undermine the United States judicial system. Yet there is a full confession from Raine on record. Haunted by Raine, Dr. Thyme might soon discover that the proximity to madness has severe consequences. These characters make the Jukes look like the Brady Bunch. Trying to understand the family tests even Thymes superlative skills. Blueink Review In Myself, Leigh Santoro tackles the viewpoints of multiple characters in the examination of a man who has been charged with attempted capital murder. The plot itself is interesting. Those who enjoy psychological intrigue may find this book fascinating. Readers who enjoy weighty psychological mysteries will be intrigued by Santoros premise. Foreword Reviews Santoros novel is a scrupulously detailed narrative. She unflinchingly delves into Raines psyche but handles the story with competence and finesse. The interviews Thymes conducted help the reader understand diagnoses like paranoid personality disorder, afflicting both Raine and Warren. The story in general is baffling, but the docs examination of an eccentric protagonist is enthralling. Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
Consummate storyteller, Lorina Stephens, returns with a novel of grief and the power of forgiveness There is a conversation that should have happened between Vi Cotter and her mother. Now it’s too late. But sometimes the dead speak through the legacy they leave, and in this case Vi’s mother bequeaths her, among other things, her journals. Do we sometimes seek absolution from the grave? Do we seek reconciliation between the child, the woman, the crone? In a story of unspoken truths and hidden fears, The Rose Guardian explores the cages we make when we fail to unlock our secrets. This is a quiet, thoughtful book that will appeal to anyone working through the loss of a parent—or their own midlife crisis.

The portraiture that emerges as each layer is laid down is a complex and nuanced examination of three generations of women, each the product of their era.... Robert Runte, Essential Edits ...[a] richly detailed novel. Stephens is definitely going on my list of authors to watch and I hope she will go on your list too. Goodreads This is both a powerful and moving story that is told with sensitivity and heart. Masterfully crafted, this book is well worth reading. Highly recommended. LibrayThing

The Yellow Room Conspiracy
Author: Peter Dickinson
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504004922
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In this “exceptional” British mystery by a Gold Dagger winner, an aging aristocrat and her longtime lover explore the dark events of their shared past (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution). Lady Lucy Vereker Seddon is dying of a terminal illness when something she hears on the radio reminds her of her younger, darker days and inspires her to question her dearest friend and former lover, Paul Ackerley, about his role in a series of past family tragedies. There was the strange death of Lucy’s brother-in-law, the brute Gerry Grantworth, in the Yellow Room of Blatchards—the huge and ugly Vereker estate—and the subsequent destruction by fire of the sprawling manor house. And then there was the infamous Seddon Affair, the sordid scandal that rocked Great Britain in the midst of the Suez Crisis. Surprised to hear that the woman he has always loved suspects him to be the culprit behind these events—especially since he always assumed Lucy herself helped engineer them—Paul suggests that they each record their memories and compare them. By doing so, perhaps they will both find their way to the long-hidden and terrible truth. Told through an alternating series of memories and flashbacks, The Yellow Room Conspiracy brilliantly re-creates a post-war era and a world of privilege corrupted by greed, jealousy, lust, and lies. The astonishing Peter Dickinson, one of Britain’s greatest suspense novelists of the late twentieth century, ingeniously wraps a love story around a mystery and once again solidifies his position alongside luminaries such as P. D. James, Ruth Rendell, Peter Lovesey, and Reginald Hill.

Pages : 300
Book Description
In the 1840s. P’etro Fedorchak narrowly escapes death while fighting in the Allies Shadow War. After receiving a land grant for his heroic service, he marries Ilia and relocates near the enchanted Black Sea. Samuil is born in a cabin near the edge of the haunted Southern Forest. In the forest Bogs a mysterious shadow fog is transforming forest animals into deadly shadow creatures, who stalk Samuil from birth. Samuil often escapes to the serenity of the forest and finds peace while listening to the singing river and communing with the animals. As the shadow creatures’ aggressions escalate, Samuil befriend Nikolai of the Caves; an eccentric time traveling wizard with an old hound named Wolf Killer, and the Legendary Snow Owl. Together with Katya and Teddy, they use their powers in a spine-chilling cosmic battle on Devils Island attempting to defeat the Shadows. Only time will tell whether they can fend them off long enough to claim their extraordinary desctiny. “This debut historical fantasy sees a Russian family battle dark forces in the wilds near the Black Sea. For his series opener, Stephens offers a fantasy focusing on primal good and evil that should entrance fans of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This first volume’s magical crescendo should create loyal readers who will return for more fairytale-style grandeur. A captivating start to an Eastern-flavored and methodically built fantasy epic.” -Kirkus Review “Samuil and the Legendary Snowl Owl is an ambitious fantasy novel that pits the might of tough people against demonic anger.” -Foreword Clarion Book Review “[A] dynamic reminiscent of Dostoyevsky or Chekov... a tale full of imaginative creatures and mythical conflicts... concise action, and his skill for creating strong characters makes the first entry in the series engaging and memorable.” Blueink Review
