Tangier Bank Heist Sean McLachlan
Right after the war, Tangier was the craziest town in North Africa. Everything was for sale and the price was cheap. The perverts came for the flesh. The addicts came for the drugs. A whole army of hustlers and grifters came for the loose laws and free flow of cash and contraband.

No, he didn’t rob the bank, he stole it.
Here’s how it happened . . .

"Littlethumb Sneezed triumphs as both a fast-moving mystery and literary character study. Memphis writes with effortless dexterity and a lighthearted tone, imbuing the story with a subtlety that keeps the story both swift and fascinating. Add a devastating turn of fate as the penultimate twist, and Memphis hooks in the reader as the book barrels toward a tough but satisfying conclusion. A wonderful, entertaining novel with a deep understanding of what motivates humans to do what they do, for a thoroughly original work of literary fiction." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★

Splendid book for fans of off-the-wall humor.

One day to survive. One day to let go of the past.

Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

Claudia crumbles into a world driven by fear. With her trust challenged by those she loves, Claudia turns to the enigmatic Saul Reardon and together they embark on a dangerous journey in search of answers.
The protagonist is easy to relate to, living what she thinks is an ordinary life, down to earth, with a sense of humor. Colorful, unique details about her physical reactions and her surroundings, using all the senses, draw me into her situation right away with the hook of a mystery - what smells like a dead body. This novel doesn't mess around with expository, just jumps right into the action like entertainment should. When new delightful characters are introduced, I bond with them too. Masterfully written prose, graceful and urgent.
Claudia Cabriati keeps you on your toes as you follow her through the book. Well written and real page turner.
Everyone has a past. Everyone has memories good and bad. Claudia Cabriati has no memory of her first eight years of life. Some things are etched in memory such as the stench of death. Claudia smells death in her apartment. The odour evokes memories of her Papa and Nona and a time she was called Carina. The past is best forgotten until conspiracy and murder brings it back.
You won't be bored even for a second with this riveting tale of murder and frightening things. I enjoyed it from cover to cover.
This sounds fabulous, looking forward to it.

Retired Secret Service agent, Vivien Szabo, who is the owner of Mooky is pulled into this cozy-style, mystery- thriller where her friends and neighbors all become murder suspects.

An original detective story, made me Intrigued to know more about these so called "Botanic Hill Detectives" !
The description of Sherill Joseph's treasure-hunt thriller takes me back to my youth reading Gertrude Chandler Warner mysteries! An original set-up gives way to an intriguing, Iberian mystery, with youth detectives -- sounds like the stuff children's adventure movies are made of!
Nutmeg Street by Sherrill Joseph
Lots of fun for young readers when a mu!ti-cultural quartet of teen detectives try to solve the mysterious death of a local Egyptologist. Educational as we'll as entertaining.
Yet another mid-grade thriller from the Botanic Hill detectives, Lani and Lexi, Rani and Moki. Eucalyptus Street is set to be an intriguing follow-up to the Nutmeg Street stories.
An engaging combination of ancient Egyptian culture and kids sleuthing: I love it!
