Jessica Fletcher & Donald Bain.

A FATAL FEAST.

A fatal feast is a smoothly-written novel, pretty "clean" and not too dramatic or scary. Well-written, except for the grammar and punctuation in many places. Easy to read and to enjoy.

"The cinnamon bun" bookstore.

Perhaps, it could have been a fresh nice romantic novel: the writer does have some good intentions and skills to produce one.... But displaying too many characters as gays and lesbians ,is very destructive. unnatural and not appealing, a bit abusive to me & my generation: which is the old school of proper, fun and goodness.... Otherwise the author describes the first love and a lot of raw sex with good-looking fisherman of 25 ! Nicely and with certain positive, honest, loving and hot sexual pursuit, but respectful at the same time. Which is a very rare trait now.

America, the beautiful.

A tiny book-album. The photography is rather old (dating back to 1970s to about 2011) Mostly, black and some Native people photographed, With their backs to the reader. Not inspiring, no truly beautiful. I do not recommend it to anyone.

Fletcher, Jessica,

Murder backstage.

Not well-written (grammatically) but very mild and almost without drama. Excessively prolonged without need or being interesting or engaging. Language often weird for the american public. Is OK to read. But do not expect too much from it.

Jessica Fletcher & Donald Bain.

The art of Murder.

Horrific account of mafiosi in Italy of the stolen copies and original art paintings or its fraudulent copies. Of recent years. Scary, full-bloodied account. Very realistic, unfortunately. Don not recommend this book of fiction to anyone: young or old.
