We had terrible turnout and lots of time to read!

First up: In Shadowlands, by Timothy Ashby

President Teddy Roosevelt's son Quentin was killed in World War I. So why is another man's corpse in his grave?

J. Edgar Hoover summons Special Agent Seth Armitage, a US Marines veteran haunted by the carnage of the Western Front, back to the Bureau to investigate the mystery.

Armitage is soon targeted by powerful and ruthless forces on both sides of the Atlantic who are committed to keeping the scandal secret - at any cost.

The line between enemies and allies blur as the agent is drawn into a conspiracy, which leads him to Germany and an encounter with a burgeoning political force. The Nazi Party.

Armitage eventually uncovers the truth in an ancient Bavarian castle.

But at what price?

This is my second Seth Armitage novel; I do hope there are more to come!!!

Book #2: One Fine Mess by Mark Peterson

All Jules Nichols wants is to off her abusive hubby. But soon the baddies are popping up everywhere, the staties are suspicious, and her wacko sister won't go away. There's also that darn head in a box. It's no time to lose her own head. But who could've known it'd be so hard to commit one little murder?

Abusive hubby's death sets off one wild event after another; I found myself cheering Jules on throughout the book.
