Margaret Muggett answered the door as if she’d been expecting someone else, like a swinging lounge singer with a weekend reservation in an exclusive Las Vegas penthouse. Her hair was done up in tightly rounded rolls, like a small stack of glamorous brunette baguettes. shorturl.at/2HaZK #booksky

Amazon review: “Once I picked up I WAS A TEENAGE GHOST HUNTER…I couldn’t put it down and read it over two enjoyable afternoons. As with the best young adult fiction, this book is just as enjoyable for adults.”

Dosie stood and sauntered over to her windows, gazing out soulfully at the mock chicken processing plant. “Lim and I lived in different worlds. Me in the world of fashion, him in the world of long-form non-narrative experimental video.” #mystery #parody #kindle #fiction #booksky bit.ly/43FRVGC

Pasta Poetry No. 2

Muttering in thick whispers
Secreted in the dank alley
The lurking gnocchi plotted their
Incursion into Lester’s cellar
As he obliviously hunched
Damp as moist cheese
Sewing on another doll head.

The detectives interrogate suspect Bertholdt Tunsten:

“Come now, detectives, you already interrogated me on Rustine’s loggia. Must you now invade my little vacation hideaway?”

“I hate to break it to you, Tunsten, but murder doesn’t take a vacation,” said Rochelle.

5 out of 5 stars to The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I can’t say enough good things about this novel. Miller makes the characters and events from Achilles’ story more lively and vivid than I would have thought possible. So recommended! #booksky #fiction #novels #songofachilles #myth

It's a strange killing at the Volcano Lounge in my mystery comedy Murder in Murk City: “I don’t care how many suckers you’ve lured into your shady eruption racket, Muggett. Not even the smell of burning magma can cover the stench of this killing.” bit.ly/43FRVGC #kindle #kindleunlimited #booksky

Alstrop looked the part of the typical insect-obsessive: he was tall and thin, with ink-black hair and tiny goatee, and wore a tattered T-shirt with the bright yellow slogan ‘Moron Repellent’. bit.ly/43FRVGC #parody #booksky #mystery #crimefiction #novels #kindle #fiction #humor

4 out of 5 stars to The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates. Oates blends history with the supernatural in this account of strange goings-on in Princeton in the early 1900s. Historical characters include Woodrow Wilson, Upton Sinclair and a very drunk Jack London! Recommended! #booksky #fiction #horror

Pasta Poetry No. 1

Pasta in the driveway
from last night’s harangue -
She rolls in marinara
under lowering clouds
plucking olive shards
from stews of mushroom -
Leaving yesterday’s fennel
on a sleeping dog.

Rustine Caprino met the detectives at the gallery entrance in a painfully elegant chartreuse one-piece dress. She had the precise and professional air of a woman who’d spent a lot of time being very clean. bit.ly/43FRVGC #fiction #booksky #novel #parody #humor #kindle #kindleunlimited

4 out of 5 stars to The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich. This was the first novel by Erdrich I’ve read and I'll definitely read more of her work. The novel is filled with memorable characters, strange incidents and quirky touches of humor. #booksky #erdrich #fiction #review

5 out of 5 to Ancient Light by John Banville. It’s a kind of reverse Lolita as a married older woman carries on an affair with our narrator, a teenage boy. As usual with Banville, the prose writing is incredible. Highly recommended!
