My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story had its own sense of a mystery as well as suspense. I really enjoyed this one. I was guessing all the way through as I read. The writing was gripping and had a strong sense of realism. I was impacted with realism as I read. This was a book that was impossible to be put down for any means.

The book really made me feel a lot of things. The questions I had just seemed to lead to more answers. I was constantly wondering where this book would lead to next. The story was gripping and from reading of the present and the past with the stories, I was very much intrigued and constantly on the edge of my seat, for the truth was at times far from reach, but a lot closer than I had thought! The book was a sensational read, and I could not put it down! Loved it! Truly a masterpiece of expert writing!

So amazing! I really enjoyed this book and all it had brought to the table. I highly recommend this must-read book. It is a book that was dear as well something we all should read! Do not miss out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book! Set in the year 1899 in Colorado Springs, Cora finds herself working for the famous Nikola Tesla in his secret lab after witnessing the dead body of his previous assistant. Against the wishes of her mother, Cora continues her detective work to help Tesla find his stolen papers and remain in Colorado Springs with the help of her friends and eventually her romantic interest. Murder, intrigue, and mystery all combine to make this a wonderful story with a very strong female lead set in the past which I find myself drawn to. The dinner party wraps up the loose ends and discover all the secrets that have awaited our discovery. The characters, who are strong and very colorful, are well written, and the suspense just continues all the way to the last page. I have read other books by this author, but I must say that this is my favorite so far. Easy to read and enjoyable, this book is the perfect summer read for an afternoon of intrigue and lounging around the pool! Definitely recommend as a Young Adult book especially for teenage girls to read about a strong woman and the trait of perseverance and hard work

On a summer night in 1932, twelve-year-old Joel Fitchett wanders into an East Texas diner badly beaten and carrying his unconscious brother, Clancy. Though both boys claim they have no memory of what happened, the horrific details are etched into their minds as deep as the scar left across Joel’s face. Thirteen years later, both men still struggle with the aftershocks of that long-ago night and the pact they made to hide the truth. When they find themselves at the center of a murder investigation, they make a decision that will change everything. A second lie, a second pact and for a time, a second chance.

What he doesn’t expect to discover is a tangle of secrets spanning sixty years involving Clancy, Joel and the woman they both loved, Lorraine.

Told in alternating timelines from World War II to 1992, Enemies of Doves is a tale of family secrets, jealousy and deception.

Cora is a 17 year old young lady who is about to finish up high school in Colorado Springs. Her instructor is giving her an opportunity of a lifetime…to work with Nikola Tesla! Cora is very excited about it but her mother really is not. After all, her mother is mourning the loss of a friend, that friend being the last assistant that Nikola Tesla had in his laboratory! Papers are missing, the lab is a mess, and Cora is put to tasks that she wasn’t expecting. She wanted in on all the excitement of conducting experiments but instead finds herself typing up reports and organizing receipts. It’s when Cora and her schoolmate Harrison start seeing that things aren’t adding up that they begin amateur sleuthing. A dinner party will change everything, including how Cora views some things in life.

This was an enjoyable book. It was a moderately fast read for me and I enjoyed the suspense of the mystery. I did figure out pretty early on who I thought the murderer was but did still have a few surprises along the way.

4.5 Stars

 

Murder In the Lightning Room brings us something different by the talented A.D. Brazeau. I have loved Ms. Brazeau’s other books, so there was never any doubt that I would snap up a copy of this to explore. It proved to be a very intriguing and engrossing YA historical mystery that incorporates the world of Nicola Tesla- as well as theft, murder, secrets, and so much more.
Cora Croft is a 17 year-old school student with a nose for mystery. She is pulled into the mystery and sets about helping Tesla uncover the strange affairs. But with danger lurking things become complicated. What happens makes for an exciting read.
I hope this is the start of a new series with Cora as she investigates various other mysteries. We will have to wait and see. Looking forward to whatever Ms. Brazeau has in store for us next?
Happy Reading!

Thank you, A.D. Brazeau!

This author hit it out of the park again with Murder in the Lightning Room. Yes I’ve read this author before and they’re becoming one of my favorites. I’ve yet to be disappointed, confused sometimes but never disappointed. I was apprehensive about reading this, the familiarity with the author made my decision.
A fictional story created that includes very real people and places of that time. Nikola Tesla was always on the move, from Thomas Edison’s people. I feel like this book was no exception as it definitely lent hints toward that.
Cora, an interesting educated young female in a time that was frowned upon. Who has a flare for science. Determined to not get tied down and head to university her teacher gives her a potential break of her lifetime. A chance to be Tesla’s assistant. Little did she know that would lead her on a mission to find missing paperwork and a murderer. Harrison Byrne, also works for Tesla as an errand boy, but he seems to fancy Miss Cora Croft. He’s there when Cora declares to Tesla to give her a week to figure out what is going on. He vows to not let her go about it alone. They set out on an adventure that could possibly change their lives.
I thought I had it figured out the whole time. Well I had most of it, a slight twist at the end surprised me. I wasn’t expecting it. If you like twists this book is for you!

I don’t know how much of Murder in the Lightning Room is historically accurate, but it made for a good story! The story follows teenager Cora through a series of adventures. She is one of the brightest in her grade and dreams of great adventure and a career not common for women in that time. She is presented with the opportunity to work with Nikola Tesla. Her mom is opposed, but she does so anyway. That is the start of a series of events that takes Cora and her friends on quite the adventure. They take it upon themselves to try to solve a crime spree that includes theft, murder, and betrayal. You’ll never guess who is found in the center of it all. I liked the ending, as it tied up the loose ends and provided a happily ever after for a few characters. I would read more by this author and would be happy if this book turns into a series. It was very action packed and kept me hooked until the end.

The setting of the story takes us to 1899 in Colorado Springs, where we meet Cora Croft at the exact moment she comes across a dead body. This historical fiction novel pulls you in. 17- year old Cora Croft reminded me a few times of Anne of Green Gables. Cora is not the dreamer that Anne is, but Cora is not your typical girl of 1899. She’s got big plans as we learn, to go away to college, see places, and not settle. She sets out to be the assistant to a scientist that recently moved to town, and before long, someone is stealing documents, and another body piles up. Cora, Harrison, and Cora’s friend Wolf are set out to solve the mystery.

I truly enjoyed reading this young adult novel by A.D. Brazeau, my first that I have read by A.D. I found it easy to read, and the story flowed well, which made this an easy one to come back to. The story kept me interested. I found the characters likable. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a quick and enjoyable read.

Murder in the Lightning Room by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Maryn Belling

Welcome to Colorado Springs. Home to sparkling landscapes and barely a generation of history. Our completely relatable Miss Cora Croft – academic hopeful and hopelessly short of her mother’s example of corseted grace – would rather walk in the snow than be beholden. Amid the usual challenges for a lady of her age, social status, and upbringing, Cora tussles with calculus, physics, and gender roles.

Set 40 years after the gold-rush, the attraction of new residents to Colorado Springs is for medical reasons (consumption & tuberculosis). The railroad’s depot (Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe) constructed in Colorado Springs in 1917 is alluded to through character presence, but the town is still foot-traffic, horse, and buggy propelled.

With Pike’s Peak watching over the town and its inhabitants, Nikola Tesla watches over his experiments with physics. Despite the integral presence of physics and calculus in the workings of Tesla’s lab, readers needn’t possess specific knowledge of either topic.

The greater mysteries for Colorado Springs’ inhabitants are untimely deaths. Miss Cora’s scientific mind works through the myriad pieces to reveal the truth.

Murder in the Lightning room by author A.D. Brazeau takes place in Colorado Springs in the late 1800’s and focuses on a teenager named Cora Croft. In the blink of an eye, Cora’s life goes from completely normal, to trying to solve murders and locate stolen documents of Nicola Tesla’s work. With the help of her friend Marshall and Harrison, a boy she cannot seem to get rid of, she tries to piece together clues that were overlooked by the police. But will the information they have found lead them to the perpetrator, and find justice for the victims?

From the very first page, I was completely enthralled in this story. I loved the characters; their personalities matched the timeline so well. The setting of Colorado Springs was beautifully descripted to the point that I felt like I was there, smelling the snow and fresh air along with Cora. I also loved how some of the history and personality traits of Nicola Tesla were accurately entwined. I adored Cora for her bravery and stubbornness, especially when it came to Harrison Byrne. All in all, Brazeau writes beautifully in this story and I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a fast paced, cozy mystery. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

This is a really great young adult story. It is a historical fiction story which includes loads of elements such as mystery, Suspense, murder and danger. The author does an amazing job of mixing fiction with historical reference especially with regards to Nikola Tesla’s secret labs and the experiments that were conducted.
I love the main character Cora Croft. She is a very determined young woman who isn’t going to settle for a life of marriage as is normal for that time period. She is determined to make something of herself so when this mystery happens she will stop at nothing to solve it. What she doesn’t realise is how dangerous trying to unravel these secrets can be and how much danger she places herself and her friends Harrison and Marshall in.

This mystery will keep the reader hooked from beginning to end and the history references make this a really unique story.

This is the best book I have read by this author. It does NOT disappoint in any way! I absolutely love how the author centers it around Nikola Tesla and his research, and the historical importance of his competition with Thomas Edison. It adds a bit of tension to the mystery! It starts out hot, and immediately you dive into trying to find out who stole Tesla’s missing papers, research, documents. Very fast paced book, which I love in a mystery. This is definitely in my top 5 of historical fiction books. While I did guess who the culprit was before it was revealed, it was still not a solid guess. But it did not deter me in any way from continuing reading the book.

Murder in the Lightning Room is an interesting YA murder mystery set in the past. The story line is set in 1899 and is well-developed and the world-building is done well. The characters are interesting and the mystery of the tale drew me in.

This intriguing fast-paced tale is full of mystery and secrets, danger and murder, suspense and gripping tension along with a dash of romance.

I enjoyed the historical information and the research AD based on Nikola Tesla the engineer and physicist and his work.

Cora is steadfast and headstrong and loves mysteries and solving puzzles so it’s a no brainer for her and friends when Tesla has problems. But she needs to beware in her search for answers!

A good read for YA fans of historical fiction and murder mystery.

It helps drive in the setting and adds tension to the mystery, as well. The characters seemed lifelike and nothing seemed over-the-top in terms of appropriate behavior for the time. I had an inkling of who the culprit was part way through but did not have all of the pieces put together before it was revealed. I really enjoyed how all of the pieces fell into place.

Cora Croft is finishing up her last year of high school at Palmer High School in Colorado Springs. Cora is a young lady interested in pursuing higher education, something that most women do not consider in the year 1899. When her teacher mentions an opportunity for Cora to become Nikola Tesla’s lab assistant Cora is determined to seize the opportunity. Before long, Cora finds herself wrapped up deeply in a mystery as Nikola Tesla’s previous lab assistant has mysteriously ended up dead and important documents containing Nikola Tesla’s top-secret designs have been stolen. Tesla is at his wits end over the theft of his documents and is determined to pack up his lab and move back to New York. However, Cora not wanting to miss the unique experience to work with such a brilliant man offers to help Mr. Tesla figure out who is behind the theft.

Cora reluctantly enlists help from Harrison Byrne, a man whom she despises no matter how charming he seems to be on the surface. She also asks her friend Marshall, a man with whom she has known for years and trusts with her life. As the trio starts to investigate farther into the sudden and mysterious death of Tesla’s previous lab assistant and the top- secret documents they start to uncover something that is far more sinister than they could have imagined. When there is another death, Cora, Harrison, and Marshall quickly realize that their own lives may also be at risk.

I loved the character of Cora and found her to be inspirational. Cora was smart, feisty, and wise beyond her years. No matter who or what tried to stand in her way Cora was determined to battle against the social constraints of the time to pursue her dreams. Harrison seemed a bit arrogant initially as he liked to tease Cora and seemingly mock her, something that really irked Cora and made her despise him. Eventually, as I read farther, I learned there was more to Harrison’s character than I had thought at first. I soon realized that although he may appear almost condescending at times in his tone as he spoke to Cora, deep-down Harrison had a big heart and deeply cared about those around him, especially Cora. This book contained several twists and turns throughout with a surprise at the end that really caught me off guard. I highly recommend this book!

Loved how this book literally transported me though time to where the story took place. Cora was a wonderful lead character with her own wit and a very sharp as well as keen mind. She was not a force to be reckoned with. I loved how every step that was taken to the mystery, didn’t really lead to much answers, but more questions and wonder! The book was very much a fun read, and had that allure that you can not escape from! Loved every moment I spent entwined in this wonderful mystery! Loved it!

Wonderful read by a wonderful author! They never disappoint me with anything that they write and create! Very highly recommend from this reader here, and its for sure at thrilling must read!

Holy YES PLEASE! I got this book early as part of the Kindle first program. It is set in Nashville, Tennessee one of my favorite places. Right from the beginning you can sense the mystery, suspense, and secrets. This book had me hooked from page one and never let go. The character of Finley is a very complex character that I appreciate tremendously. There are so many facets to her you’re not sure what is what or who she really is until you dive deeper into the story.

This story has many layers of suspense not just on the case Finley and Jack are working, but with Finley, her past, and her husband. The intrigue as you turn each page grows and you find yourself on the edge of your seat unable to stop turning pages.

The last chapter of this book was so amazing with more twists and turns than you ever saw coming. I cannot wait to see what happens or what is discovered regarding Finley and Derrick. This was my first book by Debra Webb and now I must go buy more!
