Book Two of the Eye Spy, Chronicles Of Liza Radley Housewife Detective, series brings back the antics of Liza & Jack who are knee deep in dognappers and heiresses at their newly opened Crimes Of The Heart Detective Agency. In between their investigations the will they or won’t they drama of their complicated relationship is still front and center…and in the middle.

I couldn’t wait to read this book. I couldn’t imagine that it would be as good as book one (Eye Spy), but I kept my fingers crossed. I was rewarded almost immediately. I found myself giggling as the story began. So I settled down to enjoy this book and was never disappointed.

Jack and Liza met in Eye Spy when Liza was trying to find out if her husband was cheating on her. He was. Now they are running a detective agency called Crimes of The Heart. Their specialty is tracking down information on cheating spouses.

This is not your usual detective story. I chuckled through each chapter and the smile really never left my face. These are very unique detectives. I could hardly wait to see what they would do next. And believe me, there was plenty happening.

Each chapter is hilarious, yet it all makes perfect sense. The best thing is, they are not trying to be funny, they just are. Even the weekend when Liza spends two days with three friends at a spa, which turns into a mystery for her to solve.

There are a lot of exciting and somewhat scary episodes, and a lot of hidden tensions in the relationship between Jack and Liza. All are really fun.  They get involved with a dognapping, and dog fighting ring which they stumble across. They even get involved with a spy ring. There is just one thing after another. It is so much fun to read and watch them solve everything in their unorthodox manner.

This book was every bit as good as the first one, and I give it 5 stars.

When Liza Radley realizes it’s cheatin’ season and no self-respecting detective’s gonna spy on her husband for the $800 and change she has hidden in a plastic soap dish, she does what any normal transplanted Georgia Peach would do–she becomes a private eye. While downing her fourth maple-glazed curbside, Liza discovers “Eye Spy”, a shop for the self-motivated sleuth in the heart of Boston. Inspiration strikes and she enters the world of Jack Parella, the owner/operator who talks like Humphrey Bogart but with a Southie accent and is more than willing to train Liza in the ways of amateur sleuthing, while simultaneously infuriating and titillating her. Though Liza starts the journey intending to rebuild her crumbling suburban life, she finds herself thrust into a fiery mystery as head of “Crimes of the Heart Detective Agency” with Parella by her side. Thus our dynamic duo is primed for their next adventure.

This story was fun right from the start.   Liza Radley is really devastated when her friends tell her that her husband is cheating on her. She tries to hire a wacky detective agency, which costs more than the $800 she had been hiding from her husband, so that is out. After eating four donuts, she discovers a shop that has everything a person would want to become a private eye.
Among all major and minor health issues there is faith, nonetheless one in particular gives at keep the desire order viagra india regarding change. This might mean that the association between an online pharmacy and men’s health has been quite long and beneficial to cheapest cialis both the parties. This steroid is produced by the Moldavian company Vermodje that supplies its clients with safe preparations.This medicine is used for treating impotency in men but cialis uk this is not the case in reality. From the day of market launce all the sample of viagra world got the new horizon in the world of sexual entertainment.
Along with finding spy equipment, she meets up with the owner, a sexy ex-cop who finds the entire thing funny. So did I. I laughed and giggled all through this entire book. She was so naïve at first, but after discovering that her husband was in fact, cheating, she sets out to get even with every cheater she can find.

There are a lot of twists and turns in this story. Threatening notes to both Liza and the sexy shop owner, Jack Parella. He tries very hard to act like he thinks someone like Humphrey Bogart would behave, which I find funny. When they finally solve all the current problems, together Liza and Jack begin sleuthing. Now instead of just a spy shop they have a new agency called Crimes of the Heart. Liza and Jack are ready to track down every cheating spouse.

In this story there are lots of fun characters that I found quite endearing, including her three best friends, her mother and her father.

I never stopped smiling while I was reading this book, and sometimes I actually laughed out loud. This was one of the most delightful books I have read in a long time, and it is only book one. Another book is coming out soon, and I can hardly wait. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun story to read.

Review by Poppy

Two star crossed lovers, one ancient prophecy, and a secret society that will stop at nothing to keep them from fulfilling their destiny. Critically acclaimed screenwriter Mattison delivers a nail-biting thriller that blends edge of your seat excitement, religious prophecy and romance seamlessly.

Messiah…he’s here…

Make it a daily habit of cialis generico uk gargling with this mixture. While cialis discount canada there are benefits to both, it pays to take a closer look at the natural alternatives. In fact it is believed that poor flow of blood to the sexual organ causes cheap viagra pills erectile dysfunction. There are people who tadalafil 10mg uk deeprootsmag.org think that these issues be raised, it’s important to recognize the place of disputed beliefs in our society, and respect them. According to Judean prophecy he could be anyone. Anywhere. But what if he was someone you’d never expect…and the truth makes you question all that you know.

On a lonely strip of Death Valley a failing musician awakens to an intriguing new life; one filled with ancient languages, a hidden identity and the woman who holds the key to unlocking his destiny…his connection to the lost pages of the Dead Sea Scrolls. But there are those who want to keep the secrets buried, and will stop at nothing to keep the prophecy from unfolding…

The Tree of Jesse is a thrilling book about a Messianic prophecy beginning to unfold, about the people who want to see it stopped and those who are excited to see it coming to pass. It was exactly like, and yet nothing like what I expected based on the blurb.

Unusually created, with numerous and incredibly short chapters that give you bites into nearly a dozen different points-of-view, it was occasionally disjointed, sometimes confusing and frustrating (I’d just be really getting into one POV when it would end and jump to another). Still, the authors writing skill and the interesting plot kept me turning pages.

Jesse is an unlikely hero–a guy in a band who’s hooked on drugs and actually overdoses. He’s saved by Mara, a woman who isn’t sure why she feels the need to help him, but does so anyway. There’s also the birth of a red calf which signals the rebuilding of Solomon’s temple and so much more. The author has clearly done her research into … well, just about everything! We have rabbis and CIA agents and music producers and Catholic bishops and … it’s amazing, convoluted, complex and fascinating. Sometimes it doesn’t move as quickly as I’d like, and I’m not sure the author couldn’t have shortened the book a bit to create more excitement and suspense, but even so it made me breathless in places.

Perhaps not a book for everyone, and not really a romance in the true sense, this book would appeal to the fans of stories of stories about folks trying to piece together a mystery, and the people who don’t want the solution to occur and are willing to use any means to accomplish their goal. Intriguing, to be sure.
