MYSTERY


"Diary of a Confessions Queen" by Kathy Carmichael - "It's been seven years since wisecracking confessions writer Amy Crosby's husband, Dan, disappeared, and now, she's about to lose her house. Amy's only way out is to have Dan declared legally dead so that she can collect his life insurance. But someone doesn't want her to do that. Threatening notes begin appearing in Amy's home, and soon, her secret intruder is doing more than leaving written messages. Police detective Brad Cooper is worried about the blackmail letters and the break-ins, even if Amy's wealthy, would-be fiance has taken steps to increase the security of her home. With two men interested in her and someone out to get her, Amy has more to deal with than any woman should. Carmichael (Hot Flash, 2009) has created a thrilling whodunit in her trademark sassy, breezy style. Readers will enjoy her unique blend of humor and suspense."-- Shelley Mosley, Booklist

DVD

"Meet me in St. Louis" with Judy Garland -- "Wonderful. A warm unsentimental tribute to family, home and tree-lined America. Garland and O'Brien give lovely performances." --Danny Peary, Guide for the Film Fanatic

"The Dark Knight" - "The Dark Knight is a superhero movie...What makes the movie great--in addition to pitch-perfect casting, outstanding writing, and a compelling vision--is that it bypasses the normal fantasy element of the superhero genre and makes it all terrifyingly real."--Amazon
