Hawaiian Night

Floating in the caressing cool waters of the southern seas. Tonight's display of the Milky Way calms the restless soul. The black ocean waters dare the dreamer to swim to the distance depths of inner space, foolishly, I do. Unable to touch the bottom and see what's beneath, I tread the dark wetness as fast as possible till I'm gasping for air and the sea shore is no longer visible to the naked eye.

The Milky Way is even more glorious now, and I relish in the statistical fact that I have less of a change of dying from a shark attack then killing myself. Delicious danger entices me to swim farther out to sea, and I do.

Treading deep Hawaiian waters marvelously lit by a dome of cascading light from the stars illustrates the infinite luster of nature. No camera or words will ever come close to what I witnessed that night.

The allure of soft sand, the might Milky Way, and the crescent moon bouncing light between the palm trees makes it very easy to accept the reality of one day becoming  another victim of time.

The novel "Court Trouble," a marvelous murder mystery, or a miserable mystery?

"Court Trouble" is a play on words, court being a tennis court where the murder of Manny Grimes occurs.

Grimes is bludgeoned to death on one of the tennis courts at the North Boulder Recreation Center. Right from the get go, how can someone, just one person beat someone to death with a tennis racket?
Novelist Mike Befeler tries to justified this in a non comedic way and this book fails miserably.

The only good thing about this book was that is was free to read, thanks to the coddingtown library. Released to the general public on July 20, "Court Trouble" was troublesome to read to say the least.

The books like the previous one I reviewed lacked any interest for the reader, and for a murder mystery, it was more of a mystery as to why such a boring story was being written. A brain damaged monkey on acid with a rubbery twig in the wet sand could have written a more interesting story.

The main character Mark Yeager was good friends with the murdered Grimes, and even though he's just and entrepreneur with absolutely no police or detective experience, he sets out to question witnesses and search houses, which the cops don't object too, a major red flag for a story that is a drama and not a comedy.

Yeager almost gets himself and his wife killed with his snooping around and dangerous questions to the nefarious folks. Even when Yeager is tied at the hands and feet with duck tape and thrown into an ice covered lake, I knew he'd live and solve the mystery, another red flag, extreme predictability.

There are four main suspects, and four very boring characters who spark as much interest as a documentary about toilet tissue holders.

"Court Trouble" contained all the main ingredients for an adult thriller, illegal gambling, gun trafficking, adultery, murder and mystery, but the formula was nothing more than a messy mix of miserable character development and lackluster story telling. Zero stars for this book, it was simply a pathetic parade of nonsense and boredom.

New Suspense Novel "Red Right Hand" Intense Or Senseless?

"Red Right Hand" released on Sept., 13, is the second book featuring the trained assassin Michael Hendricks.

Is the the novel "Red Right Hand" an intense thriller with colorful characters, rich with humor who wittingly thwart evil deeds, or is it a barrage of boring people fighting government corruption and Middle Eastern terrorism?

I didn't read the first book featuring the main character Michael Hendricks, "The Killing Kind." If "The Killing Kind" is half as bad as "Red Right Hand," I'm extremely confessed as to why a second book was even written.

The F-word was used way too much in this book, maybe third graders love this word used for absolutely no reason, but the profanity was unnecessary and pointless, unless the author was catering to the extremely unenlightening with no imagination.

The story kicks gets going right away when a tug boat driven by TIC, True Islamic Caliphate terrorist ram San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge doesn't even collapse, and the injuries and casualties are extremely minimal. Right of the bat, no intensity and the lack of character development throughout the entire book left the reader with the who cares what happens next attitude.

The female side kick Cameron who is meant to be charming and funny is as enlightening and entertaining as jet black charcoals on the oven floor. Not a single moment went by when I was concerned for the life of any of the characters and when Cameron saved Hendricks life, it was a so, the story continues, oh shucks kind of deal.

I surprised myself by reading the entire book, one and half stars for this hapless novel. The only reason it gets this high of a rating from me is because Holm, the author does acknowledge that all world leaders create war solely for money. Share holders in all parts of the world are profiting from war, an endless sad reality.
