“Lalla Bains, Crop Duster and Amateur Sleuth has become one of my favorite characters. In A Dead Red Heart, the second book in the Lalla Bains Mystery Series, R.P. Dahlke weaves together suspense, mystery, romance, and a touch of humor for a fantastic mystery that will keep you guessing until the end. A Dead Red Heart is on my list of favorites….” – Kellie Rix,. Reader/reviewer
Entertaining, suspenseful, totally unexpected and has a love story mingled in with it.” – MariLou Georges for confessionsofreader.blogspot.com
“The characters in this book are strongly defined and very, very memorable. The Modesto, CA setting is so well described that a fan and a cool drink is almost a requirement while reading this smoothly written mystery. When the ending arrives, you know that you’ve been on a wild ride with a spirited and feisty woman. – “Mary R. Fairchild “Mare F”
“Author R P Dahlke has combined suspenseful murder and even humor in the creation of A Dead Red Heart. And I have to admit, I didn’t come up with the real murder until the end. This author really kept me guessing and changing my mind.” – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat .

Steve Earle’s heartbreaking debut novel features a morphine addicted doctor haunted by the ghost of Hank Williams, a Mexican girl with healing powers, and other misfits. Set in San Antonio in 1963, the story delicately balances opposing forces like Catholicism and “hoodoo,” addiction and redemption, brutal reality and magical realism.

Here’s the set-up:
The race is on to save Lavinia “Vinnie” Esposito in the third book in the Esposito series.
After finding a dead man, Vinnie realizes she has become embroiled in yet another crazy situation involving stolen art, proving her twin brother’s innocence, and saving her own neck.
State trooper Marcus Richmond and FBI agent Aaron Grant are back to help Vinnie find the culprit while keeping her out of harm’s way. That’s a task to try the most patient of men, because Vinnie isn’t about to let a lead go stale because she’s waiting for back up.
From the reviewers:
Ahhh, another Vinnie adventure…and it lived up to its hype! Vinnie is so strong, yet vulnerable. So smart, yet so empty-headed. She’s a sleuth in need of man to rein her in. Luckily she has no shortage of men in her life who want to protect her…and love her. I enjoyed the ups and downs of this latest comical mystery by J.M. Griffin. She’s got it figured out! Loved it. – B. Marriott
This is the third in the series. It is filled with engaging characters. Vinnie is likeable, smart, and a tough cookie. She is accident-prone and wryly funny. The plot is not grandiose and there is no deep mystery here. Just a good, fun, enjoyable story. I appreciate that she isn’t smug and pompous (like the annoying amateur sleuths in those “cozy mysteries” who feel that they are the only ones who could possible solve the crime). – T Reader
Ready for the next installment, can’t wait to see what she gets into next, just an accident looking for a place to happen LOL – “GarbageLady”

In this follow-up to Shannon Hale’s popular Austenland, a feisty new heroine is introduced, frightening twists abound, and a romance that might transcend the proper bounds of the Austen fantasy world appears. It’s a well-balanced blend of romance and mystery. How could it not turn out right in the end?

Don’t take this book on your airplane trip! Wow. Talk about opening with action.

This first novel by A. F. Ebbers has all the elements of a Class A Thriller. – Denninger Bolton
