MY REVIEW

Happy Homicides is jam packed with funfilled stories for you cozy mystery lovers out there. I enjoyed spending time with the quirky characters and some lovable critters, all while solving the murders committed by some not so lovable villains.

The writing is light and at times humorous. The authors have a knack for entertaining, creating smiles and romance at every turn. If you are looking for clean and light romance and mystery, this may be a book you want to add to your reading list.

I received a copy of Happy Homicides in return for an honest review.

MY FRIDAY 56

“Oh, he went on one of his field trips,” Thorne said. “Very excited about it, before he went. I outfitted him myself – loaned hi my latest field pack. Everything he could ever want in yst forty-seven pounds. He liked it. Left last Monday, four days ago.”

“For where?”

I think we all can figure out where he went! 🙂

(page 56 in hardcover)

MY BOOK BEGINNINGS

Introduction: The late twentieth century has witnessed a remarkable growth in scientific interest in the subject of extinction.

Are you concerned about cloning and the genetic research scientists are working on? Who knows what they do behind closed doors!

GOODREADS BLURB

The Lost World: Jurassic Park Junior Novelisation captures all the thrills and chills of The Lost World story – with heart-stopping suspense, hair-raising action, and illustrated with colour photographs from the film. Something has survived…In 1993, an ambitious entrepreneur named John Hammond spoke four words which ushered in a new era of motion picture excitement and set worldwide boxoffice records…”Welcome to Jurassic Park”. Now, a few years later, Hammond makes a startling confession to scientist Ian Malcolm: another island of dinosaurs exists…an island where dinosaurs have been living and breeding in the wild…the Lost World.
