It‘s the 1920s, and we meet Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Morris Markey, and Joseph Elwell.

We know Scott and Zelda, but learn about Morris and Joseph in this meticulously researched book by Ms. Fredericks.

Morris and Joseph were murdered in real life and Ms. Fredericks uses both men as the basis for her book with this gorgeous cover.

Historical fiction fans will thoroughly enjoy this book.5/5

TODAY‘S PROMPT: FLAG

I thought this was a beautiful photo. Nice and crisp.

Julia always studies her horoscope - she knew something bad was going to happen and she also knew something good was going to happen.

The bad thing was her husband was murdered, and the good thing was she inherited a large sum of money and a villa in Tuscany.

A marvelous setting, but it got a bit too paranormal for me.

A satisfying ending to another great Lisa Scottoline read.4/5

Friends who did harmless pranks turned into deadly ones.

Jenna, Kaitlyn, and Lauren play games of dare with rules they have to follow.

Need something different, out of the ordinary, and quite unusual but a pull-you-in read? BODIES IN THE SAND should fit the bill.

I actually was shaking my head at the ending. 4/5
