Murder by the Book is a cozy mystery by Shannon Symonds. And although it is cozy, it certainly isn't quiet and orderly! Ivy, not so lovingly called Ms. Marple by the town's police chief, is a self-identified murder magnet. She can sniff out a murder even when others only see a coincidence or accident - and so far, she hasn't been wrong.

She is headstrong and lovable and completely real with a backstory full of issues. This is book two in the series, and I read it without reading the first one without feeling like I missed out. However, I now want to go back and get her backstory in full - and I'm sure you will, too.

There are several other amazing characters you won't want to miss. Her boss, Xander, and his mother Rhoda, Anderson, Aggie, Conner, Charlotte, Brett, and the list goes on and on. It's a whole town filled with people you'll want to get to know. Shannon did a great job creating believable characters while keeping the story moving quickly through the mystery. It's a fun read you won't want to miss.

Book Marketing on a Budget is a fantastic marketing resource written by Kevin M Hall. If you are a new/newer author and don't know where to start marketing or have tried a few things but don't know where to go from there, then this is the book for you.

Kevin provides 19 free or inexpensive marketing tips complete with step by step instructions and even samples of his own use of the tips. He even helps you see where to start and where you can eventually move to as you "graduate" from elementary marketing. I really love his one month marketing plan that will guide authors on their journey toward getting their book out in front of their readers.

This is a great book for authors who need some inexpensive marketing tips. Don't miss it.

The Burden of Evidence is a legal thriller by Buddy Howard. We quickly meet Paul and Katherine, a married couple with a grown child. Katherine is a lawyer. Paul is a novelist. Their son still lives at home and their marriage seems a bit quaky. And then the unthinkable happens. Katherine is sexually assaulted while coming home from getting groceries.

Paul takes it upon himself to find the man who harmed his wife. And eventually finds himself in a position to get justice. Should he? Can he? Will it come back to haunt him?

The twists and turns of this thriller will keep you turning the pages. So many times, I wanted to yell at Paul, "NO! Walk away!" but apparently he couldn't hear me through the pages!
