Being a private investigator is no easy task. Being a woman and aggressive only makes it harder. Veterans Day: A Mary Jane Morris mystery by J.J. Jorgens sets the stage for a glimpse into the life of a private investigator. Mary Jane receives a call from a friend and former partner asking for help. However, Mary Jane does not arrive in time. Unfortunately, Mary Jane is not in good standing with the local police. Therefore, it is up to her to solve the mystery of her ex-partner and a conspiracy to cheat veterans out of their benefits. Jorgen's writing style is kind of strong. Throughout the story you can tell that the author enjoyed writing this mystery novel. There are many lovable characters and believable situations. I loved
Other authors (all of these authors write mystery/thriller novels as well) have praised the book as well. These authors include: Karin Slaughter, Nelson DeMille, Douglas Preston, and James Patterson. This book alone has over a hundred five star reviews on Amazon. Not bad for an author just releasing his first
Evaluation: I thought the book was very exciting and suspenseful like her other books. The book had very good detail and an interesting plot. I liked the twist when Juan and the girl’s father came upon Glenn walking down the road. I also liked how the author described the action in great detail. It made me feel like I was right there seeing it all happen firsthand. I don’t think that the author could’ve made this book any better than she did already.
Fans of the novel found that the way the novel is written, you never want to put it down and the action keeps things moving and is quite entertaining. The novel pulls you in and makes you love each of the main characters in it. This is a great series for anyone to read, and it is audience friendly for whoever reads them. There is quite a bit of suspense that will make the novel exceed readers 's expectations, and the twists and turns keeps you guessing and lets nothing be predictable. Some like the way this group of people bands together when they really need to and keep things together so they can all stop the
I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys historical fiction books where the characters learn life-altering lessons. I also feel that people of all ages would enjoy this book because it’s messages and theme was very positive. While I did enjoy this book, I think I will not be reading another historical fiction novel for my upcoming book response.
have chosen it for my report. Finally, I will give my reactions to the novel
Richardson's method of writing is kind of hard to comprehend at first. Every chapter would start off with a new character narrarating their story. You don't know who it is until a few sentences later. The chapter starts with a character, but some chapters would have two or three nararators with a couple paragraphs each character. Sometimes it would be confusing, but once I found out who was talking, I would sometimes have to reread the paragraph from the start to understand the situatiuon. Another thing that bothered, maybe it wasn't the authour's fault, was that many quotation marks were misplaced all over the book. the first few were tolerable, but after a while it got annoying. That bothered me much and like I said, I'm not sure if it was the author or the publisher. I don't really like the style, but it's what the author used to get many stories into one.
Whom might one expect to take on the dangerous life as spy? Most people would not suspect the typical housewife or woman to fulfill such a duty. Contrary to popular belief, in the book “In The Line of Fire, Eight Women War Spies” George Sullivan utilizes the non-fictional tales of eight different women who played dominant roles in wars throughout history. These memorable women portrayed themselves as average housewives, but behind closed doors they were intelligent war spies. These women exhibited mass bravery and completed duties that to many would seem unattainable. In writing this, the author’s purpose was to reveal the important roles that women played in history, and open
In conclusion I believe this story was very good although hard to follow I would enjoy reading more of his stories. I would recommend this story to a lot of different people because the story is kind of weird in a weird kind of way.
All in all, this novel is a good read, so long as the reader takes the time to think about everything that goes into it.
War is hell. War is misery, suffering, pain, and anguish. From the days of rocks and sticks to today’s high tech drones and aircraft carriers one thing above all others has remained the same; war is a terrifying, nightmarish endeavor. Unfortunately for those who fight for their nation, the battlefield does not remain in the far off land where the battle took place. In fact, those warriors bring back that battlefield, festering in the hearts and minds, sometimes long after their uniforms have been put in the closet to collect dust. It should come as no surprise that for a variety of reasons all stemming from combat experience, many of our nations Veterans will act in unconventional or perhaps even illegal ways, in an attempt to cope with the stress of their military service. It may be easy for some to say that these men and women, despite their service, are criminals and should be locked away like any other who breaks the law. However, if rehabilitation is truly a goal of our justice system it would not make any sense to take a group of offenders suffering from the side effects of combat experiences and throw them in prison, which is little better than combat anyway. This is why the advent of Veteran’s courts is so important. Due to their service, and the effects that PTSD and other service related conditions may have on their criminal behavior, Veteran’s courts are not only an honorable way to treat our nation’s defenders, but a way in which to protect them from the negative impact of incarceration. These courts, which are based off of drug and mental health courts, are designed to take less serious offenders, who offenses were related to their service connected conditions and keep them away from incarceration and into treatment (...
The fictional characters were extremely unique and creative. To me a creative story is more powerful than those that are dull and more so boring. Since this book is so unique, I think that made it a more powerful
Overall, I enjoyed the story because it was facile to comprehend as well as it was consistently enthralling to me. It never had a dull moment and it was fun to read about a town that isn’t of the traditional setting. It had a background containing many legends and old stories
Remembrance Day is about honoring the troops who fought to keep peace across the world. We often take for granted our Canadian values, the Canadian’s who went to war in distant countries believed and fought for those values that were being threatened. As a whole we pay tribute to those who have sacrificed their lives both emotionally and physically. A portion of the soldiers who risked their lives for us have attended St. Joseph high school. Sadly, some have not returned to their families awaiting embraces and this is an important reason why we still need to remember this ceremonial day. On November 11th, we take two minutes of silence to reflect and mourn for those we have lost. Yet for many of us, war is something we only see on television
