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.

A Dagger & the Dictaphone

The Queen of Mystery is back at it again with another installment of the Hercule Poirot detective mystery series. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd  takes place in King's Abbot, which is located in Great Britain. Both Mrs. Ferrars' and Mr. Ackroyd's deaths happen simultaneously after one another--one by an overdose and one by a dagger. Narrator Dr. James Sheppard is a physician who not only oversaw Mrs. Ferrars' death, but also Mr. Ackroyd's. It was shortly discovered after both murders that Dr. Sheppard's mysterious neighbor was the infamous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot! After being incognito for a time, Flora Ackroyd was able to persuade him to investigate her late uncle's murder. This mystery novel introduces a number of different characters that all hold specific roles to the background of the village and the murder itself. When reading it, I found everyone seemed to have a suspicious factor about them, but Hercule Poirot was able to weave between the s...
