You're Only as Sick as Your Secrets - No mind reading, time travel or other gimmicks in this one
Just really good writing. The best one I've read yet. Looking forward to more from Laurel Dewey.
You Can't Judge a Book by its Cover - You Can't Judge a Book by its Cover
Come on, now. First Jane talks to a dead man. Now she reads minds. What next - Jane travels back in time to solve a murder? Laurel Dewey can write - she sucks you in. But isn't the cop or PI supposed to be human - only tougher and smarter, more observant, more intuitive? Real cops and PI's don't talk to dead men or read minds.
Book Requests - As A Man Thinketh by James Allen
Read it. Considered it similar to "Power of Positive Thinking." Humbug.
An Unfinished Death - Hard to Believe
This cop is a mess. Was this a dream or an hallucination?
Tough and smart, maybe, but f'd up and alcoholic, too.
Any normal cops in this world?
