Book Review: The Whisper Man by Alex North
The Whisper Man Alex North August 20, 2019 The Whisper Man by Alex North is a multi-generational thriller about a father and son caught in the crosshairs of an investigation to catch a serial killer preying on a small town. It’s been 20 years since DI Pete Willis caught a killer that was responsible for the death of (at least) five little boys, and he’s always been haunted by the fact that they never found the body of the fifth child, Tony Smith. In fact, Pete is just flat out haunted.
Book Review: The Retreat by Sherri Smith
The Retreat Sherri Smith August 13, 2019 The Retreat by Sherri Smith illuminates the dark side of the self-care and wellness industry in a thrilling ride of revenge that asks: how well do you really know your friends? It’s passing rare for me to read a book and get so invested in the characters that I find myself silently bargaining with the author over their fates in my head.

Dead on Arrival is a chilling medical thriller that draws on Matt Richtel's years of science and technology reporting for the New York Times and establishes him as one of the premier thriller writers working today (available August 1, 2017). “Outside, there was an explosion of light, the airplane’s headlights. They illuminated a swath of pavement, the tarmac. A second later, she turned off the light.
"Star Trek" Smartphones That Can Diagnose Malaria
Mobile phones have not only changed the way we communicate but in many cases, they have changed the way many people relate to the world. Now the Lifelens Project has developed a Smartphone application that can diagnose malaria with a drop of blood, just like a tricorder in Star Trek (remember?!). The diagnoses can be taken in remote areas where there is no Internet connection and is reportedly highly accurate. What a great and creative use of technology.
A Christmas Miracle Review
Nick loved Christmas. He couldn’t care less about the presents, the trees, the hot cocoa, the caroling, and almost everything else about the holiday. What he loved most were the lights outside the houses. Swags of glowing icicles, blinking nets of light, big trees swathed in strands of bulbs, well-lit reindeer, crèches and the occasional inflatable Mickey Mouse dressed in a Christmas sweater.
Kearran Giovanni of Major Crimes
1) How did you get the role of Amy Sykes? Well, I was in NY at the time doing Anything Goes on Broadway. I remember getting the breakdown and the sides from my agents and thinking "this is it. I am Amy Sykes" I auditioned there and asked my husband if he would be willing to relocate for my job. The answer was Yes! And here we are. 2) This show has a female boss in Sharon Raydor, played by Mary McDonnell, but the squad is predominately male.
Q&A with the Five Two's Gerald So

I had co-edited a series of print chapbooks from 2008 to 2011, The Lineup, with Patrick Shawn Bagley, Reed Farrel Coleman, Houston poet-cop Sarah Cortez, Richie Narvaez, and Anthony Rainone; however, the costs of print-on-demand were such that we could only publish relatively slim annuals.

To start off, we have with two fabulous poets who write about crime here today, Bill Baber and Johnny Longfellow, and they are matching their poems with the perfect drink.
