Reviews

The Khan Dilemma by Ron Goodreau
Why would a murderer with the still smoking gun charge the only witness instead of killing him? Why does the FBI show up before the bodies have cooled and the local police arrive at the scene? What is the Muslim factor? These are all questions , prosecutor, Max Siegel, is trying to find the answers to. With no help from his boss, interference from the government and each answer leading to more questions, will Max solve the case and get the real bad guys or will he get a toe tag and an extended stay in the morgue? Goodreau has written a compelling political thriller with more twist than a tornado. Excellently written. Four out of five stars.


Keys to the Condo by Danny D. Langone
Keys to the Condo is a book of life through poems. Langone takes us on a journey through life with his wonderfully insightful poetry. He brings the events of his life into focus with prose that will have you reminiscing about your own life. This book is written so simply and flows so well that even those who don’t normally read traditional poetry will enjoy it. To get in touch with the rhythm of life pick up a copy of Keys to the Condo. It would also make an excellent gift with Mother’s & Father’s day just around the corner. 4.5 out of five stars.




Virtually Dead by Peter May
What happens when life and virtual art mirror each other? People end up virtually dead in both lives. May gives us the story of Michael, a forensic photographer, who like many in our world, finds a way to cope with his grief by escaping into an online world. When Michael begins to build his character in the virtual world of Second Life, he realizes that the murders in Second Life and in real life are mirroring each other. May expertly moves from one world to the other without losing the reader in all the twists and turns. A very well written mystery. Five out of five stars.
