Diamonds and Cole (A Cole Sage Mystery, #1) by Micheal Maxwell
What urged me to read this book was the sparkly gems: diamonds. I was able to find many more gems in this story.
Story line sounded a bit different than what I've been reading lately and it turns out it's a well written story.
This story starts out with Cole and he's getting hate from every which way he turns. He is a writer at the Chicago newspaper.
They give him a story and he has to investigate and research it and then write about it. He's been all over the world in his lifetime.
The woman he loved got away from him as he left to cover a 3 year story in Asia. He is contacted that she is in trouble and he finds out she is in a nursing center or sorts.
He heads to CA where he and she grew up and finds her, in a broken state. ALS and she just wants to find her daughter. He is able to reminisce with her about the old days, so many laughs and tears.
He researches with help from a cop in Chicago and he travels around to meet the new spouse who had her sign away her parents property and POA. She wants it for her daughter.
He finds out so much more and diamonds are involved. I'm hoping the spouse gets clobbered not only business wise but personal for just dumping Ellie in the center to die there.
Love how the rest of the story goes for Ellie. Kinda had a hint or two along the way as to her father but was surprised how it came out and who it was.
I love daisies, Leonard Cohen, and CSNY-treasured gems and more are found in this book.
Like travel, romance, long lost love found, and making things right, learning new words.
Excerpt of the next Cole book in the series in listed at the back along with the author's works and about the author.

Like the things they find in common after spending a lot of hours taste testing the recipe-he wants it perfect for the dinner.

I received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
Story is about Antonia and since her mother walked out on their family she knows she hast to hide from them. She knows how to take care of herself since 7 and older.
Her father pays no attention to her, he's pissed off at the wife that left him and the daughter to go act in LA. There are tidbits of information about her throughout.
Antonia is able to persuade her father with his new wifes help to allow her to attend college and major in screenwriting. She has intern jobs in LA and hopes to locate her mother while there to no avail.
She's excellent at her job and others have an eye for her. One is a director and she learns a lot from him til they realize they are in love with one another while she's working on his film, even got her to act in the movie to please him.
She had a few more spots but all she wants to do is screenwrite. She works during her pregnancies. Tragedy occurs and she has no one to help her. Her relies on Lara her step mother and a lot of the others from the movie industry.
She is able to relocate the whole family to a huge farm in CT where she hopes to raise the children, ride horses and get a great education. Olympia her daughter wants to act and she's real good at it...
Dash heads to his own adventures in Africa and the family stays in touch with Antonia writes more writing.
Assistant director moves into her life once again and the kids really like having him nearby. She leaves to become invisible again after they celebrate her birthday.
She's just a low key person. So much to this story, it's a KEEPER.
Love how she was able to live her life after all the tragedies. Hate how the mother approached her later in life. so cruel.

Double Agent by Ethan Jones
In this book we find Justin and Carrie up to their regular regime of bringing peace to the world.
What I love about this one is when she is taken and she is able to get rid of the two men who had her handcuffed, but with one hand free. They surely didn't know what she could do with one hand.
She is able to overcome them and go find Justin. Love also the part about San Francisco Bridge and the events that were taking place there.
Love that she found information about the whereabouts of her father's body. They had been fooled when they thought the man who appeared was their friend. They find out later just how much he was...
So much action, adventure, clues and lots of weapons, others who are on their side, and some that are not, travel and romance.
An excerpt from the next book is enclosed at the end.

Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger
This book was a bit disturbing to me. The events that take place are a bit out of my comprehension. Maybe it was where I grew up, northeast farm town.
The obstacles the kids ran into were just not around us, or we didn't see them. I find the events tragic and images in my head wn't be disappearing for some time.
Story gets more reasonable as it goes along. Huge mysteries as to a lot of questions, they go answered the further you read.
Such tragedy though, devstation, thought mother would kill herself as so many in the book had. It was just a big burden to carry that she could've done better...
Like epilogue and surprised they all seem to lead a normal life.
Back To Grandmom by Jessica D. Adams
This children's book starts with family tree and dedication pages. Note from the author about leaving a book review. and acknowledgements.
Story starts where Janiece and Janelle are playing in their room and Janelle stated. Janiece does not want to she gets too bored with NO technology around.
While they are playing with their stuffed animals they bump their heads and rub the pain and realize they are back in time in the grandmom's house.
What I like is how they spend their time with their grandmom. Such meaningful memories of the things they did while with her.
Time is short with her and love hearing about fun, NON tech things they were able to do and still have a blast.
The next day they have breakfast and are ready to go to church.....

Colorful, children's book.
This story starts out with a nameplate. Story of the vegetables and how just because one gains a crown on his head thinks he's in charge of the whole garden.
The little boy watches them fight it out... The son tries to explain to his father that the potato should be king, it goes with any meal. Love moral of this story: we should live together happily and respect each other. Wish I grew up on this farm, LOVE vegetables no matter what they are.
..
Next story is about a Molly the butterfly and a Stark the crow. The cow wants to be friends with the butterfly but he's ignored so the crow flies away.
As it got colder out the butterfly got nabbed in a spider's web and Stark comes to the rescue. Love moral of this one: Friends can be of any color, size or shape. Friendship is a relation, not made on the basis of one’s beauty and charm.
Wish more would adhere to this and we could stop a lot of fights and wars.

..
Back to school from vacation and both girls tells what they did and how it made them feel.
What I love about this is that the girls listen to one another and then talk to the teacher who's told them the uncle's conduct is NOT appropriate.
The following pages show how each of the girls has half the page, one where uncle is showing good conduct and one where uncle is NOT showing good conduct.
Girl agrees to talk to her mother about the uncles behavior....Not all touches are good. Learn the difference.
Love that she will talk to her mother and how a difficult a subject this is. ...
