From the very first word, Death at Disney evoked a strong sense of the 1950′s cop show, Dragnet.

For years, I was a true crime buff. I still possess more useless knowledge about some of America’s infamous serial killers than I care to admit to. Give me a good “true” ghost story or A&E/ Travel Channel historical haunting feature or reality ghost hunting show and I’m glued to the television for hours. So, when Curt Rowlett approached us with his three books devoted to mysteries, murder, and the occult, I immediately wanted to read all of them!

I was excited to get my copy of Altered Life, a detective thriller from Keith Dixon. He was nice enough to send me a copy all the way across the pond and I dove into it the same day it arrived. The description on the Lulu page hooked me: ‘Altered Life transplants the attitude and pace of the American private eye story into a contemporary English setting.’

I have been an avid mystery fan for much of my life. I read before going to sleep every night and the books that usually make up that reading material are mysteries of the cozy type. Agatha Christie, P D James, Elizabeth Peters, Ngaio Marsh, Sara Paretsky, Martha Grimes, and the list goes on. When I saw that Linda Welch had requested a review for her psi-fi mystery, Along Came A Demon, I leapt at the chance to read and review it. I was not disappointed.

I don’t recall the last time I read a book I’d classify as Young Adult Fiction. (No, I haven’t read one single word of J.K. Rowling.) But I am glad to have picked up Thomas Graham’s The Curse of the Ram’s Head on Lulu this week. Mr. Graham’s central character is a twelve year old boy named Tim Duggan. Tim and his parents have just returned home from summer vacation when they make a pit stop in a small town.
