Jennie's Review What a great start to my reading for 2026. This author always makes me put on my thinking cap, leading to illuminating reads. This time, he outdid himself. Having read several of this author’s forensics books, I was surprised by the slight curveball he throws here—shifting the focus from proving guilt to examining … Continue reading Forensics IV Guilty Until Proven Innocent by Harry A. Milman, PHD

The Family She Never Met by Caridad Pineiro
My Review You know how you go to a book festival, hear an author on a panel, and think, “If their writing is half as good as their speaking, this is going to be a treat.” Well, in this case, Caridad Piñeiro doesn’t just deliver—she knocks it out of the park.

The war is over, but instead of coming home to ticker-tape parades or opportunities, these women find … Continue reading The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott
Tell Tale Texas By E. R. Bills
My Review The author sets the tone perfectly in the introduction with this line: "This is not a book that many Texans will appreciate. But that, of course, is why it needed to be written." And I would add—why it also needs to be read. This was not an easy read, and it's not meant … Continue reading Tell Tale Texas By E. R. Bills
