Life in Focus: a novella Review"Life in Focus" is a delightful read. From its artsy portrayal of small-town life to its delicate layers of Southern charm, you're left fulfilled, yet wanting more.
Ms. Jordan has made each of her characters relatable - Allison's anxiety about which direction to steer her life; her sister Lindsey's full-and-getting-bigger family; their mother's transition into Empty Nest Syndrome; her boss Nathan's habit of belittling Allie work; her best friend Jodi's undying but reality-dosed support; and Patrick's tender quest for the heart of the girl he loves. No matter where you are in your life, Ms. Jordan has a character who simultaneously feels your joy and pain.
The cover itself is a perfect illustration of the contents within: Often, we want to have our lives completely organized with a clear focus. Yet with its unpredictability, the picture usually turns out blurred and not what we expected or would have liked.
An easy yet heartfelt read, this book should be at the top of your reading list. So pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, take a seat on your quiet back porch, and dive in.Life in Focus: a novella Overview

Cooking the Books: A Corinna Chapman Mystery (Corinna Chapman Mysteries (Poisoned Pen Press)) ReviewCorinna Chapman is on holiday and looking forward to spending time with her lover, Daniel. Her assistant Jason is off surfing and her sometimes helpers have gotten bit parts in a film/soap opera called Kiss the Bride. Corinna's holiday is interrupted when she gets guilted into helping an old school mate do catering for the film production and Daniel gets offered a case to work on. Lena, an overweight accountant, has lost bearer bonds that her company wanted her to register and they are threatening her job if the bonds aren't found. Daniel agrees to take the case and tracks down one bond to a homeless man named Pockets. In the meantime, Corinna is dealing with an interesting cast of characters (pardon the pun) on the movie set. The film's star is a major diva and there have been a rash of pranks directed at her. There is a serial womanizer who is making up to the baker who is working with Corinna, a handsome but vain leading man, a harassed assistant to the star, and other assorted people who could be the culprits. Soon Corinna finds herself in the middle of the drama and pulls Daniel in. He gets asked by the diva to find her long lost son who she put up for adoption.
Corinna and Daniel are getting nowhere with Pockets and he starts them on a merry chase looking for clues that he leaves all over the city. The clues are based on popular nursery rhymes and Daniel has little to no experience with them so Corinna finds herself involved in his case. Added to the stress is the fact that her empty headed helpers have told Jason she has replaced him and Corinna is worried he will go back to drugs. A restful holiday it is not!
I really love this series (and the Phryne Fisher series) written by Ms. Greenwood. Corinna is an interesting character, an overweight ex- accountant who became a successful baker. She and Daniel have a wonderful relationship and they work together well. The secondary characters always fit just right into the story and we learn a little more about them in each book. This mystery is totally believable and even the missing baby story has a very plausible resolution with an added twist. I enjoy the little tidbits about the culture of Australia in the books. This book is a great addition to the series!Cooking the Books: A Corinna Chapman Mystery (Corinna Chapman Mysteries (Poisoned Pen Press)) Overview

Murder Half-Baked ReviewThis novel was excellent in all sorts of ways. I love the characters as they span several generations and show them all to an excellent advantage. The sleuth is a woman in her forties that happens to be getting married to the local Chief of Police within a short time.
Ellen McKenzie has a delightful sense of humor and balance which serves her well in the unexpected and shocking situations she finds herself thrown into. Her groom, Dan Dunham is very human and also has a layer of sophistication that often cozy authors leave out.
Their friends and family are well represented as well.
The location is a small town in California, Santa Louisa. I sense I live near this fictional town but not exactly clear where it is. What fun. They have bakeries, which from my earliest childhood, are listed as my favorite stores to visit. Especially Italian bakeries. If I had any complaints it was not having any recipes included.
The mysteries were contemporary, action-filled, startling and pulled at my heart strings. You should read this book to find the other qualities which I haven't listed.
I hope to find more novels by Ms. Delaney soon.Murder Half-Baked Overview
