The Worst(?) Husband

 Another suspense-thriller adventure with an exuberant trusting woman and overly obsessed man.

Nina's lost her husband, Glen,  due to a tragic accident and is left to fend for herself, two teenage children, 

and family companion, Daisy. A man, Simon, wanders into their lives one day shortly after the tragic

accident that swept Nina's husband clear and far from their lives...

Or did it?


Simon seems to be the perfect man for Nina. Understanding, romantic, supportive, intelligent--everything

she would've wanted in another companion after Glen, even someone remotely dedicated to her and

her alone. Secrets were revealed at delicate moments throughout the novel insuring readers were

made aware the marriage was not all cookie-cutter before Glen's appearance. Glan had things to hide,

but so did Nina. Thoughts harborded, feelings of resentment apparent, and general questionings

of what might've happened between her and Glen before he even disappeared.


Children always seem to know when something, or someone, is not what it/they appear to be.

Nina's daughter Maggie is beyond suspicious of Simon from the very beginning, and for good reason.

Simon is the epitome of a natural born serial killer, abuser, and overall obsessive compulsive individual.

Everything Nina didn't need after her husband's disappearance. Lo' and behold, however,

it was Simon's reckoning in the first place that caused Glan to disappear.


Hints dropped throughout the novel give readers a look into just how twisted and beautifully this novel

was written. I'd highly recommend this novel to anyone who's rendered a fan of suspense, thriller,

or overall drama-filled plotlines and twists.

We need to read AND write

So I went to Barnes & Noble the other night (needed some retail therapy) and ended up wandering aimlessly around the aisles for over an hour. I must have hit every section before I made my way over to the children’s corner. Not sure if I was feeling nostalgic or just curious as to what the youth of today was starting out to read. As I scoured shelves looking for old time Nancy Drew or Where the Sidewalk Ends , I heard this couple enter the area and couldn’t help but overhear their conversation.             “I just want to look for a book for her, just one. Can ya’ give me a minute?” The woman sounded exasperated, almost as if she couldn’t comprehend why her companion wasn’t understanding the need to look for the perfect book . It was his response that caught me, even though I shouldn’t have been so stung.             “You do realize kids today don’t read, right? What’...

The Express Review

A known crime fiction novel by millions, Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express  is not only intriguing, but initially a thrilling ride that keeps readers in tune and guessing up until the very last page (no pun intended on the "thrilling ride" comment). With the infamous protagonist Hercule Poirot taking charge on leading the investigation, the entire plot was based around a single man being murdered by a suspect (or suspects) on a train traveling throughout Europe. It was interesting being introduced to Hercule Poirot for the first time reading this, considering I've never read any Agatha Christie crime novels before. I find the steps that Poirot takes when solving a crime very strategical and can be recognized as a specific method used initially by him and him alone. This novel is structured into 3 parts: The Facts, The Evidence, and Hercule Poirot Sits Back and Thinks. I feel a majority of people are intimidated by the intellect a detective can hold when s...
