SPOTLIGHT ON BEAST OF THE NORTH WOODS

 

BEAST OF THE NORTH WOODS

THIRD IN THE MONSTER HUNTER SERIES

AVAILABLE TODAY, JANUARY 28!

When a local fisherman is mauled to death, it seems like the only possible cause is a mythical creature in the latest puzzling entry in this USA Today bestselling series.

An ice fisherman is savagely mauled to death in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, and an eyewitness claims the man was attacked by a hodag. There's just one problem with that: it's well known that the creature is not real and was created by a local hoaxer. So how could an imaginary creature be chomping on local sportsmen? 

The suggestion that a hodag killed someone isn’t well received by the townsfolk because of its beloved ties to the town and the money it generates from tourist dollars. Due to this, people begin to suspect the witness is the real killer, especially when it’s discovered he has a tangled past with the victim. 

The witness to the attack happens to be the nephew of Morgan Carter’s bookstore employee, Rita Bosworth, who convinces the professional cryptozoologist to travel to Wisconsin to prove that a hodag not only exists but killed the victim. 

Clues may be hard to come by, but one thing's for sure: something killed that man, and that something now has its eyes focused on Morgan.

Rocco and Chazz review EJ Copperman's GOOD LIEUTENANT

 Meow!  It's time for another book by our good friend E.J. Copperman! This time it's the sixth (and, sadly, final) entry in the Jersey Girl series, Good Lieutenant!

Synopsis:

LA lawyer Sandy Moss comes to falsely accused lieutenant Trench's aid in this final instalment of the critically acclaimed legal cozy mystery series.

While settling into her new home in Los Angeles together with her boyfriend and TV star Patrick McNabb, attorney Sandy Moss receives a phone call from the LA Men’s Detention Center. It’s a new client accused of murder: the near-stoic Lt. K.C. Trench!

Being good at his job but not well-liked in his department, Trench is accused of killing a fellow LA police officer whom he openly despised and threatened. With the odds against her, Sandy takes on the case of her sometime nemesis/sometime ally. She is certain that Trench can’t be the killer. It seems like someone is trying to pin the murder on him, but who and why? And what isn’t Trench telling her?

Our review:

Chazz:  This is the first Jersey Girl for me and now I have to go and read the human's others.  What great characters EJ Copperman creates!  and without a cat in the story!  I love the way Sandy plunges whole heartedly into investigating the stodgy Trench who finds it hard to crack a smile.  I must admit though that Patrick does get a bit trying at times.  The story was well written and fans of this too short lived series will not be disappointed.

ROCCO:  Like the human, I have long been a fan of EJ's.  I love the way he can effortlessly put a touch of humor in everything he writes and the Jersey Girl series is an excellent example of that.  I admit I shed a tear at the end, mostly because I know it was Sandy and Patrick's last adventure.  A definite five paws read.

This book is out today so hurry to your local store or computer and get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
