In a closet I found a stack of books I have been meaning to read, but had long forgotten about. Thrilled by the treasure I found, I put the stack on my nightstand, so I can easily grab them for a little bedtime reading. I don’t know why exactly, but it made me feel smarter seeing those books on the table beside my bed. I added my reading glasses to the stack to add an extra punch to the look.

Murder in the Neighbourhood: A Diane Dimbleby Cozy Mystery
Penelope Sotheby
(22 Reviews)
Genre: Crime Fiction | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
While going through the pile of novels on her bedroom floor, she hears a creaking noise downstairs. Must be Rufus, she thinks, until she notices him sound asleep on top of her bed. She goes back downstairs and looks around the living room but sees nothing out of the ordinary. She looks around the kitchen and does not find anything or anyone strange either. “Perhaps the cottage is catching up with me and my creaky bones,” Diane chuckles to herself. Climbing the staircase to go back to her bedroom, Diane hears another creak, and it’s louder this time…
The English village, Apple Mews, is an idyllic community where bad things never happen. Though recently, long-time resident Diane Dimbleby found herself smack dab in the middle of a murder scene on the village green. The widow of a Scotland Yard police detective, retired teacher Diane spends her days writing crime-solving mysteries, and she used her expertise to help Inspector Darrell Crothers of the Shrewsbury Police solve the case. Standoffish at first, the inspector warmed to Diane’s amazing intuition. Against his better judgment, her sweet nature won him over. Just as things are getting back to normal in the village, Diane’s dear friend and neighbour, Carys Jones, is found dead by one of her caretakers, Richard. Diane is beyond traumatized. Seeing Carys’ once lively body, now lying in a heap on the foyer floor, breaks her heart. To make matters worse, Richard’s story of an accidental fall isn’t adding up. When Darrell arrives on the scene, he isn’t surprised to see his unofficial partner already there. Diane uncovers a clue that contains a cryptic message when she temporarily takes in Carys’ dog, Rufus. Before Diane has a chance to tell the Inspector, she and Rufus are slowly stalked, and then chased, through the woods near her house. They barely manage to outrun their pursuer. She calls Darrell to share her discovery. The evidence leads the sleuthing pair–and Rufus–hours away to Carys’ luxurious beach home on Bardsey Island. What they find shines a light on Carys’ death, and points to something premeditated, something sinister. Things escalate when a stranger steps forward for the reading of the will. Diane and Darrell are forced to backtrack. Soon, Diane finds herself in the centre of a whodunit and she must once again use her ingenious wit to save her own life. A curious writer. A determined detective. Suspects crawling out of the woodwork.
Murder in the Neighbourhood: A Diane Dimbleby Cozy Mystery is part of a series of books by author Penelope Sotheby. If you are a fan of cozy mysteries that contain an ingenious but modest woman sleuth then you will love Diane Dimbleby’s second adventure.

Boys for Men: A Vietnam War Memoir
Derrick Wolf
(129 Reviews)
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
The true stories of two soldiers. Though they are separated by almost 100 years, the similarities in their experiences are striking. When Derrick Wolf left the U.S. for Vietnam in 1970 on January 6th, the day of Epiphany, little did he realize what a prophetic day it would turn out to be for him. Boys for Men is a journal of his tour of duty. Wolf tells of the grim daily routine of a tank crew near the De-militarized Zone just south of North Vietnam. From the near constant rain during monsoon to the unbearable high temperatures and humidity of the dry season, life becomes a series of long periods of boredom and hardship interrupted abruptly by deadly situations. Combined with Wolf’s stories are excerpts of the previously unpublished 1876 journal of Sylvester Waltz, an infantryman during the Great Sioux War. Waltz was a member of the Yellowstone Expedition, which culminated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn where General George Armstrong Custer was killed and his forces defeated. Of No Value, a sequel to Boys for Men, is set for release in 2016.
