Book Review: The Lighthearted Quest

This book was first published in 1956, with this in mind, the world was a different place with varied views on things.
Julia Probyn's cousin has not communicated with any of his family for a while, now Julia needs to find him. He was last seen in Morocco, so she sets of in this direction, relying on her journalism career to be a good cover. Not looking for any danger she was not prepared for the secrets which enveloped this disappearance.
I enjoyed this book immensely, the humor and adventure that the author included played off each other just right. I was also thrilled with the opportunity to "visit" many of the exotic areas this book took me on.
Exciting and humorous, this book was an excellent choice.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
This book may be found at Amazon HERE!

Book Review: The Lost Woman

Sofie Parker, a Dane, is murdered in England. The murder was a shot through the kitchen window. Sofie had been on the Missing Persons list for almost 20 years. Because of the circumstances, Louise Rick is asked to be on the case, however, the person who reported Sofie missing was Louise's co-worker and her significant other, Eik. He comes to England and is jailed on suspicion of the murder. All of this has confused Louise, but she continues on with the case hoping to find the killer.

I seem to be on a thriller kick right now. Even though this is the third in the series, and I had not read the previous ones. I was able to pick the characters up easily. The story was very complex with many surprises throughout.

If you are a lover of murder mysteries this would be an excellent choice. I was given this book by Grand Central Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
