Three new cases come to the MDPI team on the same morning…

When PI Madeline Dawkins is summoned to Monte Verde―the serene assisted living complex where her father resides―she’s concerned Mack’s ideal setup is about to come to an end. Instead, the facility director enlists MDPI’s help in resolving a very troubling situation.

Someone is sending poison pen letters to the residents at Monte Verde, hinting at dark secrets from their pasts—accusations that have already driven one elderly woman to take her own life.

Back at the office, Jack Waverly, the attorney next door, has a client going through a very nasty divorce. Janelle Marsby’s estranged husband has launched a particularly ugly intimidation offensive designed to wear her down. The tactics Roy’s using to coerce Janelle into giving up her share of their community property assets are ruthless and criminal. Their mission is to keep Janelle safe while they dig up all of Roy’s shady dealings.

Glen Langford enlists Mike’s help in finding his 18 year old daughter who ran off with a cult five months earlier. His own searches led him through five states before his last tip led him to Santa Barbara. His biggest break came from a rancher who took Alison in after he ran the cult off his land, only to learn that she had been physically, sexually and psychologically abused by the leader of the cult.

It’s all hands on deck as the MDPI team tackle all three urgent cases, racing against time.

A Stranger in Disguise (A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome) by P.J. Mann – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

/0 Comments/in /by

This is book 4 in the Italian Murder Mystery series.  This book was inspired by a real case that happened in Italy. It’s the first book by P.J. Mann that I have read, so I will be reading the full series soon. I was intrigued by the title of this book and that its similar to an actual murder that happened. While I like the start of the story, I felt rather bounced around towards the middle of the story. I feel like there are too many characters and not enough mystery/action happening. I might just give it another go and try to reread it later. The characters themselves were intriguing to me, their names sound like foreign and yet similar at the same time.

This book was not my favorite. I stopped many times, but would start again in hopes that it would pick up and get exciting.
I do believe the one thing that I really didn’t like was that it had so much back and forth with the characters. And it was almost like there was too many characters.
When I finally made it to the end, it was pretty good. But it took forever to get there.

A fun, easy read. I enjoyed this one in a different way than the first book in the series. The writer creates an easy flow with the story, told from alternating view points of the female characters from opposing pairs. The premise of the book is fun and you feel the emotion driving them, especially Jas in trying to help
Her dad. They are likable despite their chosen paths throughout the story. The storyline is unique and I haven’t read anything quite like it and enjoyed the way it was presented.

This book can be read as a standalone and is a quick, action-packed read. I continue to find this author’s work to be engaging and entertaining!

Jasmine, determined to get her father the treatment he desperately needs as hes quickly running out of time decides to pull off a criminal and questionable stunt on her sleazy boss to make a quick payday, however someone else is also looking for a quick payday and the story evolves from there without giving too much away.
This story is fast paced, characters are well developed and have a “real” quality to them, and can be comical, witty and do ridiculously dumb things all in the same chapter. This is a multi pov story which also kept my attention.
Well done 2nd story in this series that kept my attention as well as the first

This is the second book in The Millersville series, and Susan continues her marvelous way of creating an unforgettable story. Jasmine will do anything in the world for her father, including stealing the money he so desperately needs for treatment. She thinks she has the perfect plan because her boss is a terrible human being. Jasmine has the money when suddenly two “cops” steal it back from her. Does she have what it takes to pull off another crime…stealing this money again? She refuses to give up on her father, but she may be over her head here. I can’t wait until the third book in this series is released next month! I highly recommend picking this one up (as well as the first!) especially if you enjoy psychological thrillers.

Jasmine is new at being a criminal. She needs a large amount of money to get life saving treatment that her father needs for his lung disease. When more criminals get involved, it looks like Jasmine will not have the money for her dad’s treatment. This book kept me hooked and I read it very fast. I am looking forward to more books by this author in the future.

I found this novel to be an entertaining page turner, with a gripping storyline, quirky characters and plenty of drama and action. It’s a fast paced crime thriller that had me hooked from page one, and the twists and turns kept me guessing, and turning the pages! Jasmine Bucker only turns to crime in order to provide her father with the cash needed to save him from a rare lung disease. Her plan is to steal the money from her shady boor of a boss, but things don’t go to plan when sirens are heard during the getaway. Jasmine soon discovers that the cops are bogus and have stolen the money from her. Although she’s stranded and broke, she’s determined to get the life saving money back, and so must outwit the more professional crooks, and pull off a high stakes recovery mission. This was an enjoyable and engaging read, with an action packed plot and wonderful characters, whether they were good guys or bad ones. I felt completely immersed in the storyline and felt invested in the outcome along with Jasmine.

The Thieves is the second installment of the Millersville Series. While a part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. This is a multiple POV and tells the story of 2 different groups of people. You have Jas and Phil who are trying to get money to take care of Jas’ dad when their plans are foiled by Becs and Zerk. This then sends you on a journey where you meet additional outlandish folks, and you can only hope that it all works out in the end.

The Thieves by Susan Specht Oram has written a great second book in “The Millersville series.” I love the fact that we get to meet new characters from this small town that we have learned to love so much. If you have never read the first book, I highly recommend that you understand the atmosphere you are dealing with. It is ingenious the way that Susan starts this book out right from the start with an obvious robbery of a laundromat. I did not see the twist of two inexperienced young adults, Jasmine (Jas) and Phil, robbing a business, just to turn around and be robbed by some professional thieves Bets (Betsy Zerkowitz) and Zerk (Mark Zerkowitz). This book takes so many twists and turns that you will be on the edge of your seat wondering who’s the good guys and who’s the bad guys. Enter in Dan the tow truck driver who is supposed to save the day and tow away the kid’s vehicle, but instead decides to join them on their adventures, unbeknownst to him what they are. Eventually, we meet Dan’s Ma, Roberta (Robbie), who has decided she wants to join in on the road trip wherever it may be taking everyone. Why would Jas and Phil go to all this trouble to rob a laundromat and then track down the thieves who robbed them? You’ll want to read this book to find out how everything turns out and why two good kids do such a terrible thing.

This book is part of a series, however it reads as a stand alone. The writing for this book was really good. The author does a good job developing the characters and making them relatable. I wasn’t a huge fan of the plot in this story. I found it to be semi unbelievable and some responses to be on the weird side. But, at the same time, I wanted to finish it and find out how everything was resolved. Jas and Phil are the main characters and find themselves robbed of the money that they stole. They end up chasing the robbers across the country and picking up a couple of accomplices along the way. I really enjoyed the twists and turns at the end. Overall a fun read and I’m looking forward to more of the series!

This the second novel by Susan Specht Oram that I have read, and I was just intrigued as the first. I wish it was a little longer because it comes off to clean. A stand-alone novel has you wanting more. I will be picking up the rest of novels to see what see does next. You never know who is going to show up in this book to see what they are going to do. The author does well bringing these characters to live and I wanted to read more to get the feel for them. I hope this author keeps getting better.

The Thieves (The Millersville series) by Susan Specht Oram. This series is amazing. I loved this first book and loved this one even more. It’s the story of Jasmine whose Dad is has a horrible lung disease and needs money for treatment or he’s going to die. Jasmine has no money so she doesn’t know what to do. Her boss is a pretty shady guy so she decides to steal money from him. He will never notice or so she hopes. When she gets pulled over by fake cops and they take her money she is devastated. Little do they know she is determined to get that money back. This is a fun filled action packed read that you will be reading late in the night to finish.

Jasmine wants nothing more than to save her father who is dying from a rare type of lung cancer. With no money to provide him with the care he needs Jasmine, or Jas for short, decides to steal from her place of work. Jas knows that her corrupt boss has been making shady, off-the-book deals in cash because she is the one who has been keeping the second set of accounting books for him. She enlists the help of a friend and the two of them devise a plan to steal the money from the safe at work. All goes well until one small mistake changes everything.

Jas and her friend Phil have stolen the money from the safe and made what they think is a clean getaway until they get pulled over by the cops. Something seems off to Jas about these two cops and her suspicions are confirmed when her and Phil are handcuffed and the money they worked so hard to steal is stolen from them. To make matters worse their cell phones and wallets are stolen, and the car has been tampered with. Now Jas and Phil are stranded with no money, no ID and no way to contact anyone for help.

When a real cop shows up to offer assistance they are reluctant to tell the entire story for fear of being associated with the robbery so they leave a few details out and change others. The cop calls a tow truck for them so that Jas and Phil can get towed to a shop to have their car fixed. However, as nice as the tow truck driver seems Jas finds that there is something odd about him that she is unable to figure out. In order to retrieve the money from the thieves Jas and Phil have no choice but to trust the tow truck driver and reluctantly decide to accept his help. Did the situation just go from bad to worse for them?

This book was wonderfully written and I loved the storyline that the author created. Jas and Phil were not typical thieves and only stole the money for the better good. She wanted to save her dad’s life and that was worth the risks that came with it. When Bets and Zerk, two well-practiced thieves, steal the money from Jas and Phil they think that they have pulled off a heist that will set them up for life. With the tow truck driver in tow, Jas and Phil set out to outfox and outwit the thieves and steal the money back. The story takes some twists and turns and leaves the reader on the edge of their seat as you wait to see what will happen next. The stakes are high for everyone involved and the boss is hot on all their trails. A fast paced, high suspense, action-packed read.

The Thieves is book two in the Millersville series and while I enjoyed the book, I did not like it as much as Shore Lodge. The premise of the story focuses on Jasmine, who needs quite a large sum of money for her father’s failing health. With limited options, she turns to questionable (and criminal) methods. Along the way, other criminals get involved as well. When Jas and Paul pull off the perfect heist, they think everything is in the clear…until another pair of criminals robs them and leaves them with nothing. Bets and Zerk are wanting to retire from their life of crime, and underestimate the determination of Jas to save her father….The book is written from the two POVs of Jas and Bets, so the chapters will rotate between the two. I liked that the characters were both liked and disliked, and that made them feel a bit more realistic to read. I feel like this book ended too soon, and that may be part of my four star rating, but again, it was not a bad read and I enjoyed the unique story.

This is the second book in the series and it holds up to the same standard as the first. It is a fact paced thriller, easy to read and with some great characters. The story is very entertaining, I really found it easy to engage with from the start. I wanted to see how things would work out, and how much wrong they would go at first.
This author is still pretty new to me and I am really enjoying discovering her work. I am finding that each book draws you in and the characters keep you interested. I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the next.

The Thieves starts out with Jasime and her friend Phil robbing her boss in order for Jas to pay for her father’s surgery. Unfortunately for them a couple, Bets and Zerk, watches them and steals the money, and leaves them stranded on the side of the road. This is when the situation goes from bad to worse as they must track the thieves down to get the money.

This story is hilarious. I actually found myself laughing out loud at parts of the book. The stakes are high with the amount of money and how much they are willing to risk to get it back. The ending has a nice twist that I did not see coming. This book is extremely different from the first book in the Millersville Series, Shore Lodge, which was extremely suspenseful and did not have the goofiness of this story.

The voice narration is done very well. My only complaint is that it is set in the viewpoint of Jas or Bets and the voice does not vary for these two distinct characters. The title of the chapter and what is going on is the indication of the viewpoint rather than the voice.

After reading the first novel in this series, I could not wait to get my hands on the second. Unfortunately this one did not meet the standards of the first book, but I still really enjoyed it. The reason for the four stars instead of five is because I had such high hopes and I was let down a tad by this one. However, this novel is very original. There is not necessarily a “good” guy in the situation. You feel sorry for Jas, but she still committed a crime to try to help her father. Not only that, but she created three other accomplices along the way.

The author does an amazing job creating characters that come to life, a plot that does not disappoint, and a story that you cannot put down until you finish it. The author creates characters like Jas and Bets that you like but want to dislike in the same token. Their moral compass is a tad skewed, but what would you do if you were in their position? Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good action-packed novel. Such a quick and easy read. This can also be read as a stand-alone. The only thing that really connects the two novels is Millersville; the plot lines are completely separate.

This book takes place in Rome which is pretty cool! It was my first book in the series and I enjoyed it. I’ll probably go back and read the first 3 books, but it’s not a necessity. This book has so many twists and turns that I read eagerly waiting for the next page. It was an easy, but interesting read!

The Thieves left me feeling similar to Shore Lodge, another book in the series. I can’t really describe it, a feeling of incompleteness…. They are stand alone and non-overlapping characters. This book, while exciting and entertaining, ended too abruptly. The wrap up was too quick and clean. The characters were wonderful, and there was a lot of unexpected reveals along the way. Some parts had me on the edge of my seat and other parts I was laughing. I’m glad how Dan turned out… I was worried for a while I would hate him. I don’t want to reveal too much but this book was worth the read. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I enjoy this author quite a bit, so I was excited to jump into this book. The Thieves was good but I was expecting more. Not that the author didn’t produce a well written book, I just wanted more out of it than I got.
Written two points of view. Two different sets of thieves. The initial thieves and the ones that stole from them. 500k at stake will they be caught? Will the initial thieves get their money back? So many questions and tons of answers. So let’s jump into the adventure, shall we.
Jas thought, Phil and her pulled off the perfect theft. $500k from her boss to get her sick father treatment and the rest to disappear. Because if her boss found out she’d definitely disappear. What she didn’t factor into her plan was that Bets and Zerk saw it go down and decided they were going to take their score as their own.
Bets and Zerk just got the biggest score of their lives, now it’s time to settle down and quit the business. Ending up in the small town of Millersville they thought they were golden to settle down. Unfortunately those amateur kids were coming for what’s theirs.
It’s a constant story of back and forth that overlaps nicely. From reading a previous book by this author I was hoping for a better climactic ending, I think I set my hopes a little too high. Doesn’t mean it was bad, it just fell short that’s all. But don’t let that deter you. Jump in and you may feel differently. The book overall was good! So read it, I dare you… lol

This is book 2 of the series and it’s just as good as the previous book. It’s a fast-paced story of two duos and this book will have you wanting to see what’s coming next. I was pulled right back into the story. It was kind of interesting to hear it in audio. The narrator has a good voice. I do wish she had a little more variety to the voices. There was a touch of monotone but I still thought it was good. She still made it thrilling. The variety and excitement that might have been added would have made the story jump to another level. Everything did flow pretty good. Overall, a story that I would recommend to all.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Stranger in Disguise is book #4 in this series, but I was easily able to read it as a stand-alone. A brilliantly written murder mystery, set in Rome, Italy, and centered around an acting group and the cursed performance of Macbeth….this caught my attention straight away! An actor from a foreign acting performance winds up dead, and Detective Maurizio Scala is given the case. The case, at first, seems very open and closed. The initial suspect, who was last seen on surveillance with the deceased actor, seems the obvious candidate. That is, until they also turn up dead. What started as a simple case turns into a very complex and different case entirely. Now the well versed detective must step into one of his least favorite places…the theatre…and get the answers before more bodies turn up. This murder mystery is full of plot twists and turns, realistic banter between the detective team, and a lead character that simply does not give up.

What started out like a robbery gone wrong turned into a quirky adventure. I was moved by Jas’ motivation for the heist in the first place and felt a connection with her purpose. The adventure was more dramatic and entertaining because of the multiple views from the other characters and gave the story more depth. The author gave the characters their own flaws and made them all the more realistic with the oddities that gave the tale a slightly humorous aspect. I enjoyed listening to the twists and turns the novel took and was pleasantly surprised by the end!

This is the second book in The Millersville Series. This book isn’t as much of a dark psychological Thriller as the first book The Lodge but it is still an entertaining Thriller that will grip you from beginning to end.
This is a story about theft, danger, family, friendship and its full of twists and turns along the way. The characters are well developed and as a reader you feel that you are right along with them. The story is told by alternative characters which keeps the story interesting and allows the reader to get both sides of the story.

Jas and Paul thought they had pulled off the perfect robbery. When Jas’s father has been found to have a lung disease she knows she will stop at nothing to get him treatment to prolong his life. Even if that means stealing the money for the treatment. They think they are in the clear until they are stopped by a couple of “officers” but they were wrong and when they then find themselves being the victims of robbery they lose everything.
This other couple Bets and Zerk are seasoned criminals and they think they have finally got their win fall and could retire. However they didn’t get away a free as they thought and they really underestimated the determination of Jas to get back the money.

What follows is an action packed story full of twists and turns as Jas fights against time to retrieve the money to help her Dad but will she be too late?
