I just finished a lighthearted romance How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks Somewhat ridiculous, but good escapist reading.
I was given a fluff mystery published in paperback in 2006, Titled Dark Harbor by David Hosp. that kind of surprised me, the plot was that after 911 a contracting company hired for the rail security in New York was billing the government for 150 non extent employees. The math was amazing, at $30,000 per year not counting overtime comes to over 4.5 MILLION dollars a year embezzled from Uncle Sam.
The authors main plot was about some religious fanatic taking the hearts from living prostitutes
BTW last night Glen Beck had for a full hour an interview with a male writer of fiction who--cant remember his name--explained that a writer of fiction had to do much research to make the story believable.
Now I have started a book Mom for some crazy reason gave me. Author Carolyn Chute who wrote the Beans of Egypt Maine. Haven't read that as this book is one that makes me squirm, it is titled " Letourneaus Used Auto Parts, " So much for living in a small town full of degenerates and wasted lives.
