What would you write on your Murder List?



Murder List is the fourth book in the Buchanan family series.  You are probably wondering what a murder list is?  Well you will have to check out the story for more.

Synopsis:

Reagan is known for giving away money.   It is what she does in her work for the Madison hotel.  She works with various charities with the assistance of Henry.   She is the only girl in the family of three brothers.  One day her work is captured in the paper and a psycho  starts to pursue her.  Meanwhile her friend Sophie is very interested in capturing the infamous Dr. Shields who she suspects of murder.  Will Reagan and Cordie help?  Reagan is asked to go the police station to find out more about the case when she runs across detective Alec Buchanan.   It is a chance meeting where neither expects one another again.  When the psycho starts contacting Reagan on a regular basis Alec is drawn into her life.  Will he be able to protect her?  Will sparks fly in this relationship?  Who is the murderer?

My Thoughts:

Julie introduces us to another Buchanan brother in this one Alec.  Did I enjoy the mystery? Yes.  Did I feel that is was well plotted? Yes.  The romance was great as well.  The only negative for me is it becomes a predictable romance novel. 

This novel offered a slightly different aspect in the girlfriend factor.   I haven’t read many of Julie’s novels that have a strong female component to them.  This is a great change and one that is appreciated by this reviewer.

Rating:

4/5

Please visit Julie on her website or Facebook page.  Hot Shots comes out this month which is her newest novel.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
