Review Req: The Murderer’s Apprentice by Daryl Anderson
This murder mystery takes everything I normally dislike – the 60’s, baseball, annoying kids, polish food – and combines it in way that I found enjoyable. It will drag you into the setting, ground you with believable characters, keep you reading with a plot that blossoms with satisfactory timed reveals. And thoroughly annoy you with baseball trivia and a subplot that does nothing for the narrative. In short, the Murder’s Apprentice by Daryl Anderson is a rich, detailed, albeit flawed story with strong cast of characters and plot line.

Review Request: The Nature Of Your Personal Environment, by Steve Griffiths
Expanding your horizons is always a worthy goal. Whether that means learning a new trade skill, memorizing a bunch of Star Wars Trivia. Or, possibly, reading a metaphysical self-help book. Normally the latter does not fall on my to-do list, but I found Steve Griffiths’ the Nature of your Personal Environment an interesting read.
