Review by Rose

Alexandra Neve is a student at University College London whose world suddenly falls apart. When her best friend jumps from the university’s rooftop, she can’t stop herself from asking, ‘Why?’ The police rule her friend’s death a suicide and for them the case is closed — so whom can she turn to for help?

Sometimes the person you need the most is the one you least expect to find, and in this case it’s none other than Ashford Egan, a blind middle-aged history professor, who’s more willing than most to listen to what she has to say.

Neve and Egan are as different as they come. She’s restless, careless at times, and fearless when the need arises, while he’s almost the complete opposite: a deep thinker with an analytical mind, a highly rational and collected individual.

As they enter the violent world of the Russian mafia, they must overcome their differences and learn to work together. It’s their only chance if they want to survive.

Welcome to a new detective team.  This first book in The Neve&Egan Cases introduces us to an unlikely duo in the annals of detective fiction – a blind professor and his student.  Comby makes it work.

The characters are the most interesting part of this book–to see the growth of Alexandra Neve as she plays off the steadier Ash Egan is interesting. She’s determined to prove that her friend did not commit suicide. Egan is steadier and provides a guiding hand when she wants to rush off half-cocked.  On the other hand, Egan is withdrawn and friendless and  Neve offers companionship he so desperately needs.

The plot is interesting–going from Alexandra’s conviction that her friend didn’t commit suicide to the discovery of a mysterious list to links to involvement in human trafficing and money laundrying, and more. I’m interested to see what else Ms. Comby has in store for Neve & Egan.

Is turkey day one of your favorite holidays? I bet you’ve never had one like any of these!

This is an anthology of stories about Thanksgiving by a variety of authors: Arthur C. Carey, John Weagly, Earl Staggs, Amanda Lundberg, Betsy Bitner, S. Furlong-Bolliger, Steve Shrott, Andrew MacRae, Zoe Burke, Arlen Blumhagen, Lesley A. Diehl, Gail Farrelly, Herschel Cozine, Linda S. Reilly, Stephen D. Rogers, Barb Goffman and Laura Hartman. The stories are short and each one has a weird quirk to it of some kind.

The authors give us poisonings, strange customs (ever been to a nude Thanksgiving before?) and there is even some argument over the traditional dinners dishes. Green bean casserole is mentioned more than once. There is also some argument over how the cranberries are presented. The fact that there are people dying all over the place doesn’t seem affect dinner. Some families don’t even take care of the body until after dinner.

The group of authors in this anthology made me laugh, made me roll my eyes, and kept me amused all the way through. They introduce odd characters with strange habits and it feels just like real family dinners do. Every family has that one odd family member that the rest of them try to ignore. It’s a nice homey environment with the spice of murder added to the Thanksgiving dinner. What more could you want?
