On Wings of Affection by George Snyder

The murder mystery is compelling and spattered with wonderful bits and pieces of a fabulous California subculture combined with snippets of Sam’s Midwestern background. Sam, Pam, and Didier are fabulous characters with definite staying power.

The story is filled with fabulous twists, turns, and edgy glimpses of a wildly seductive lifestyle. George intertwines these emotions into the perfect recipe for murder. A community filled with love, jealously, and lust sets a scene that often left me gasping.

The author’s style is awesome. George Snyder approaches On Wings of Affection with a fabulously developed first person account from Sam, a self-described ‘Jean Brodey’ before moving to California. The story possesses a certain dry humor through Sam’s narration. The author’s ease is delightful, reminiscent of couple of historically beloved authors.

The subtle humor of ’fashioning a flamingo out of a napkin’ is just a small example of the interesting dry humor George injects into the story. His comparisons and detail continue throughout the novel adding a unique perspective.

I highly recommend On Wings of Affection; it will not disappoint those with a flair for a Murder Mystery!

FOUR YEARS FROM HOME by Larry Enright

Hats-off to author Larry Enright, his novel’s characters capture the psychosocial formula, perfectly. The recipe results in a fabulously twisted plot. The author maintains the characters intricate personalities throughout his novel. A skill few authors master so well.

Tom, the main character, is a complex jerk, this dynamic defines the mystery. The unpredictable rogue sends the reader into a tailspin of emotions, and then, just when you think you have it all figured out, the author smacks into another turn.

Personally, I would classify, Four Years From Home within the mystery genre. However, the style, created emotions often, delegated to thrillers. The depth of the story came to me as an unexpected surprise. Prior comments I read had me convinced Four Years From Home was a humorous cultural book about an Irish immigrant family, oh, but, it was much more.

Tom’s first person account barred nothing. Instead, it fueled my fascination, blatantly baring his socially unacceptable narcissism, and distorted ego driven views. His codependent family added to the layers of  believability. I am a lover of the human element within any story, Four Years From Home, fed my love masterfully.

Nevertheless, the mystery, and drama are not forgotten. I highly recommend this book to anyone whom enjoys a great multi-layered read.
