The Magdalene Deception: Book 1 by Gary McAvoy

"This is the first book in the Magdalene trilogy. Father Michael Dominic comes across an old manuscript, a letter written by Mary Magdalene. Magdalene reveals that she is the wife of Jesus. She further writes that after Jesus’ death, she removed his remains from the crypt. After authenticating the manuscript, Father Dominic wrestles with the pros and cons of revealing its contents. The revelation would undermine the premise of Christianity, that Jesus ascended into heaven, body and spirit. A Vatican thriller of politics and corruption, complicate the matter. A page turner.

Bum Deal: (Jake Lassiter Legal Thrillers, Book 3) by Paul Levine

"Jake Lassiter accepts the position of Special prosecutor in a presumptive murder case. Presumptive because there is no corpse. This pits Jake against his best friends, partners, and defense attorneys, Victoria Lord and Steve Solomon. Complicating the situation is Jake’s CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), the result of multiple football concussions. Some gratuitous sex. Red herrings abound and the ending threw me for a loop. Well-developed characters and a complex plot made for an engaging read." - E. Pasquali

3/4 stars.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

"This book is based on the 1960 civil rights movement in America. It tackles meaningful issues such as social injustice. Eugenia Skeeter, after graduation from college, returns home to Mississippi. She writes a book of what it was like to be a black maid in Mississippi. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in a new book." - O. Scheine

4/4 stars.

The Love of My Life by Rosie Walsh

"This book is an intriguing love story/mystery that is written beautifully. It was about a couple in love, married 10 years, but the woman had a mysterious past that the husband knew nothing about. Her "past life" is ever-so-slowly revealed. I highly recommend this book. I could not put it down." - L. Caran

The Other Woman by Sandie Jones

"This story was full of suspense, twists, and turns, but I was disappointed to have figured out the plot twist at the end. The story's main character, Emily, believes she has found the love of her life in a man named Adam. Only trouble - his controlling, manipulative mother. It appears as if his mother wants Emily gone from her son's life and is willing to lie, scheme, and manipulate to get what she wants. Adam, on his part, seems oblivious to his mother's antics.
