My Review for Shadow of Murder
You can't move to the next chapter of your life without tying up loose ends in the previous.
True crime blogger Erica Hart starts a new chapter in her life with a bang when a dark shadow darts into the mountain road to send her SUV off a cliff and to the bottom of Deep Creek Lake. Spencer’s newest addition to the police force Dusty O’Meara assumes it was a bear. Erica is not so sure.
Soon afterwards, contractors discover Konnor Langston’s body at the bottom of an abandoned swimming pool at the new summer home of Mac Faraday’s son.
With Police Chief David O’Callaghan away on paternity leave, Deputy Chief Dusty O’Meara must lead the investigation in his first murder case since moving to Spencer. Not only does Dusty have to work under the shadow of the legendary Mac Faraday but he also has to match wits with Erica, who is determined to find justice for Konnor, her childhood friend.
Mac isn’t so difficult. Even Gnarly, the town’s canine mayor, is manageable if his authority is well-respected and he is kept entertained.
Erica Hart, Dusty finds, is more of a challenge. It wouldn’t be so difficult if she wasn’t so irresistible.

Book Review: A Celebration of Mothers in Rhyme

Book Title: A Celebration of Mothers in Rhyme
Author: Roger Carlson
Genres: Children, Holidays, Mothers Day, Rhyming
Series: Mariana Books Rhyming #11
Publisher: Mariana Publishing
Publisher Date: April 2, 2021 (40 Pages, Paperback)
ISBN:9781645100638
Mothers hold a special place in the world. When you think of many of your fondest memories, your mother is most likely intertwined in many them. Importantly, there are many types of mothers. I had a friend who really wanted to have a child and was never able to. Her dog became her child and she cared for her child deeply. This book celebrates all mothers everywhere. If you are a mother, or you want to become a mother, this book is for you. If you have a special mother in your life, this book is for her. We at Mariana Publishing hope you enjoy our "love letter" to moms everywhere.
Discliamer: I bought this copy to complete the series and for an honest review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Add To: Goodreads
A Celebration of Mothers in Rhyme is another good rhyming book. It talks about mothers and how they are all different kinds of mothers. Children can learn to read with this book. They will learn to rhyme and understand that all other mothers exist worldwide. Even single dads consider themselves mothers or fathers, even if they own a fur baby.

There are all kinds of mothers out there, and this book puts love on them all. There are many mothers and unique types of mothers in the world. Showing and letting your child or children learn about these is a good thing. Children will learn some new and valuable views that mothers can be just about anyone. They will know what a mother brings to them as well.

Mothers can come in all different sizes and ways. This book shows that it is not always a child but maybe a dog or cat. That is fine as well. This book is a good Mother's day book as well. Children can learn about the many different types of mothers throughout this book. This book is done a bit differently by doing a love letter than in a poem or other way—it is a fun and enjoyable read. Pictures are done wonderfully. They look hand-painted, but I am not sure. Parents and grandparents, this is another good one to add to your child's collection. You could add it to the series if you started collecting the books. This is book eleven in the series of “Mariana Books.”
