Call Me Crash Michael Bronte
It’s 1979, Jimmy Carter is president, and Tom “Crash” Crandall is floor
manager at Rosenbloom & Starr where the wives of D.C.’s power brokers
shop. There’s something terribly wrong with the way the merchandise is
flowing—or to put it a better way, not flowing—into his department. What
the heck were those buyers doing up on the seventh floor?
Crash has no idea that the problem is the result of a heinous hostile
takeover attempt, and CEO Gino Starr is not about to let the ruthless
raiders take over his department store empire. The takeover villains stop
at nothing to accomplish the takeover, including brutal attacks and grisly
murders. Crash is thrust into the fray simply by being in the wrong place
at the wrong time as he tries to earn his promotion into the buying office.

"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, ★★★★

Behind the Walls Elaine L. Orr
There’s something hidden behind the walls of the hurricane damaged house Jolie bought in her New Jersey beach town. Something someone seems willing to kill for. After Jolie and Scoobie find a small sack of jewelry as they do a mold attack on her bungalow, Jolie is pursued by a purse thief and a burglar. But the guy she’s most worried about is the one who left an elderly auctioneer dead on her porch swing. In between appraising houses and planning a fundraiser for the food pantry (can you say liquid string contest?), Jolie tries to figure out if there is more stolen bounty around town. Is the feared killer the same person who burned some vacant houses, or the as-yet unmasked Peeping Tom? And are they willing to kill again to get to the hidden riches?

Really amazing story about what love can do with us. I like how characters are so real and so vivid, you drown in their story. Natasha is so strong woman and I admire by her. She decided to save her lover despise the fact that they are parted the life gave her to be with another man and forget all her sorrow. But she chooses the love!
Elsa Joseph's novels keep the pages turning.! The plot lines are fantastic, the characters seem real and believable and the writing is rich with description. The Best Kept Secret is a novel with mystery, thriller and romantic elements.
Elsa Joseph is a smart writer. I definitely enjoyed reading her books :)
Elsa Joseph does great work depicting the conflict Natasha is feeling over the two loves in her life. Her writing is original and well worth the read.
Refreshing to read a novel written in Third Person. Natasha is someone you can root for. As for London, what a gorgeous landscape to set
your story in. Been there, so the descriptions bring back fond memories. Good pacing, smart dialogue.

Best Foot Forward Martin Svolgart

Looking forward to reading this book from Martin Svolgart.
Martin Svolgart's Best Foot Forward is a quick read with likeable characters. The hero, Pritchard, is sympathetic and I enjoyed watching him re-realize his purpose and stumble back into his "calling" in life as a protector. The supporting characters in Pritchard's hometown are a lot of fun, too, and come to feel like family. If you're looking for a quick, feel-good read and you enjoy watching the bad guys get their comeuppance, you'll enjoy this book.

The Tenth Caller Michael Bronte
He’d been the shock-jock extraordinaire, but it had been quite the fall. Blackballed and forgotten, he was doomed to the graveyard shift on a godforsaken AM station where the highest rated program was the tornado report.
At night, however, the mega-signal of the Midwest can be heard for a thousand miles, and in the wee hours the depressed and depraved gather on Gulliver’s broadcast doorstep to confide in his wisdom. Some call it a cult following; others call it a radio freak parade. Gulliver takes the tenth call, but the caller isn’t interested in the chicken dinner prize. He’s into murder, and the killing goes back decades. The questions are: who is he, and how is he always the tenth call?

Gloria Rank has lived her entire life in the dark. Blind since birth, she has made a name for herself as a respected talk radio show host in New Jersey. When her younger sister, Anna, has her identity stolen and a man is murdered outside her apartment, Anna becomes the prime suspect in an FBI investigation. But when bodies begin piling up around her, the FBI has to admit that she is being stalked by a murderer. With the FBI focused in the wrong direction, it is up to Gloria to teach Anna to use her other senses--hearing, touch, taste, and smell--which she never really had to completely rely on before to help uncover a ring of identity thieves and stop the killer from taking her life, and perhaps Gloria's as well! Their only hope for survival is an experiment in perception that will unearth
