Read Christie’s reviews:
Sanctuary Motel by Alan Orloff: I characterize this book as a mystery that’s a cross between a cozy and a noir with a dash of suspense. It’s gritty, yet funny. I love the characters, and I do mean characters! Mess Hopkins is the protagonist who is like a modern day Batman, out to save the day for any of the lost souls who stumble into the sphere of his roadside Fairfax Manor Inn. This is the first in a series so look for more of Mess and the rest of the colorful cast of helpers. Perfect for the crime fiction fans that like high stakes without too much graphic violence.
Salvage This World by Michael Farris Smith: Southern gothic and all that entails. Uniquely flawed characters in a sinister environment filled with harsh elements of both weather and human nature. The writing is so descriptive that you feel you are right there in a not too far future of southern Mississippi and Louisiana. Extreme weather has ravished the towns, leaving a deserted landscape left to only the most damaged individuals. In fact, in addition to reading it, I recommend listening to the audio version. It is beautiful and poetic reading of the darkest noir.
All The Dirty Secrets by Aggie Blum Thompson: Part noir, part psychological, and all the way thrilling who done it. This book will have you turning the pages as haunting crime that happened to a group of high school friends seems to be repeated twenty-five years later, under completely new circumstances. Who can you trust? This is a dark study of human nature and friendships with a surprise ending.
