Justice Gone by N.Lombardi Jr Blog Tour! @rararesources

Justice Gone
A beaten homeless vet. Three cops gunned down. A multistate manhunt. The trial of the decade.

A new kind of legal thriller

When a homeless war veteran is beaten to death by the police, stormy protests ensue, engulfing a small New Jersey town. Soon after, three cops are gunned down.

 A multi-state manhunt is underway for a cop killer on the loose. And Dr. Tessa Thorpe, a veteran's counselor, is caught up in the chase.

Donald Darfield, an African-American Iraqi war vet, a war-time buddy of the beaten man, and one of Tessa's patients, is holed up in a mountain cabin. Tessa, acting on instinct, sets off to find him, but the swarm of law enforcement officers gets there first, leading to Darfield's dramatic capture.

Now, the only people separating him from the lethal needle of state justice are Tessa and aging blind lawyer, Nathaniel Bodine. Can they untangle the web tightening around Darfield in time, when the press and the justice system are baying for revenge?

The Shaker Murders by Eleanor Kuhns Book Review!

A peaceful Shaker community is rocked by a series of bizarre accidents, but is there more to them than first appears? 

Fresh from facing allegations of witchcraft and murder, travelling weaver Will Rees, his heavily pregnant wife Lydia and six adopted children take refuge in Zion, a Shaker community in rural Maine. Shortly after their arrival, screams in the night reveal a drowned body ... but is it murder or an unfortunate accident? The Shaker Elders argue it was just an accident, but Rees believes otherwise.

As Will investigates further, more deaths follow and a young girl vanishes from the community. Haunted by nightmares for his family's safety, Rees must rush to uncover the truth before the dreams can become reality and more lives are lost. Yet can the Shaker Elders be trusted, or is an outsider involved?

Other Books in the series:
A Simple Murder 2012
Death of a Dyer  2013
Cradle to Grave  2014
Death in Salem   2015
The Devil's Cold Dish 2016

My Review
My first thought, I should have started the series from the beginning that way I would have been able to learn about the Rees family. That said, I was able to catch up as to why the Rees family ended up taking refuge with the Zion community, with a pregnant wife, Lydia, and six adopted children of varying ages.

They had to flee from their farm as Lydia had been charged with witchcraft. Not long after they arrive at the community, there are screams in the night. Will Rees takes it upon herself to prove that it was a murder the Elders say it was an accident and not murder. Will digs in his heels though and along with a sheriff in a nearby town, investigate the murder despite what the Elders want. Are the Elders protesting too much?

As Will investigates, there are more deaths and a young girl vanishes. With all that is going on, Will is determined to move his family to the farm that supposedly belongs to his wife's family but the Zion community wants for their own. 

I have not read any books in this series but I did enjoy it. What I found interesting with the Shaker's is that the women and children are kept separate from the men. Women are to be pretty much seen and not heard. Personally, I can't imagine such a thing but it was in early America, Maine to be exact. I liked the writing style as it was easy to read and like I said, I was able to pick up the history of the Reese family. I think I would like to read the previous books at some point.
I give the book 4 stars and highly recommend it if you are into the Shaker life.

I received a copy of the book for review purposes only.

Thieves by Steven Max Russo Book Spotlight!

An empty house. A beautiful young woman. A deadly psychopath. What could possibly go wrong?

Esmeralda works for a housecleaning service during the day and as a restaurant hostess at night. Just out of high school, she is the sole support for her mother and two young siblings.

She has drive and ambition. What she doesn’t have is money.

She knows of a home in the upscale town of Mendham, NJ, that will be empty for more than a month. The rich people who live there go away the same time every year to spend time at their vacation home. Having cleaned the house, she also knows it contains a fair amount of cash and valuables.

Sitting with Ray, one of her co-workers one night, she casually mentions a “what if” scenario; Ray tells Skooley, a white trash drifter who recently moved to New Jersey from south Florida, and a plan is hatched.

It isn’t long before Esmeralda finds herself trapped by both circumstance and greed, forced to try and defend herself against one of her partners in crime, who she quickly discovers is far more dangerous than she ever thought possible.

In this sequel to The Revolutionist, the American journey of three generations locks the neophyte company president, Burton Blake, in a vicious struggle with corporate intrigue, financial greed, and social corruption. Born to a taxi dancer at the beginning of the Second World War, Burton’s father, Elias Blake, never knows his natural father, who is killed in the South Pacific.

Their untimely death by his business partner leaves the boy Elias in the guardianship of his mother’s best friend and her marine vet husband who introduces him to the macho culture of guns and hunting.

Over the next decades, he expands his parents’ original real estate empire into the diversified multi-divisional, multi-national corporation that he leaves to his son, Burton. Upon his forced return from traveling and working with oppressed third world people, Burton learns increasingly more about the true nature of his deceased father as he undertakes the challenges of leading the company in a new direction.
