Synopsis

In "The Egyptian Cat Mystery," Harold L. Goodwin masterfully intertwines elements of historical fiction and mystery, inviting readers into a captivating narrative set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt. The book's prose balances vivid descriptions with a rhythmic pacing, drawing readers into a world filled with intrigue and the complexities of ancient societal hierarchies. The plot centers around the enigmatic disappearance of a sacred feline, a metaphorical representation of the cultural significance of cats in Egyptian society, exploring themes of loyalty, power, and the interplay between humanity and the divine. Harold L. Goodwin, a noted Egyptologist and author, draws upon his extensive academic background and field experiences to infuse authenticity into his storytelling. His passion for ancient civilizations, coupled with his keen observations of modern-day parallels, enriches the narrative, transforming it into more than just a mystery; it is a lens through which readers can examine historical perspectives and cultural values. Goodwin's previous works reflect a deep commitment to illuminating the complexities of ancient cultures, making him uniquely suited to bring this particular story to life. I highly recommend "The Egyptian Cat Mystery" to lovers of historical fiction and mystery alike. Its intricate plotting, combined with profound insights into ancient Egyptian culture, makes for a compelling read that not only entertains but also educates. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado of ancient history or new to the genre, Goodwin's work promises to engage and inspire.

    Mia Carina has steered her Italian-American family's Astoria, Queens, catering hall into becoming the borough's premiere party site, and nothing could make her happier—except her boyfriend proposing. There's just one presumed-dead obstacle in the way. 
     
     
     
    A strong, independent woman and respected entrepreneur, Mia never imagined she'd pine for a marriage proposal. Yet lately, with her beloved Shane, she's on tenterhooks. It's especially surprising, considering Mia's first husband, Adam, was a philandering grifter, assumed lost-at-sea after a boating disaster. But everyone knows what happens when you assume. 
     
     
      
    While working a huge wedding expo in Manhattan, Mia is shocked to spot the man who nearly destroyed her life. The one who's supposed to be sleeping with the fishes. But she loses him in the crowd. And when it happens again the next day, it's time for an emergency meeting with the family—and the Family. Because if Adam is alive, Mia is still married. 
     
     
      
    Everyone wants Adam dead. Everyone except Mia. She's dealt with enough police for a lifetime. Mia needs to be a divorcée, not a widow. But someone out there disagrees, and if Mia doesn't discover who, she may never be free to marry Shane.

    Walker's Key

    Haddleton's debut is a striking, multifaceted take on the family-secret novel.  In the year 1900, Darby Walker makes the trek across Florida's Tampa Bay from St. Petersburg; his brother Tulley's lighthouse has gone dark, and their father is dead under suspicious circumstances.  The timelines are split between this urgent present and the brothers' childhood, starting with Darby's birth in 1865.  These sections provide background on the bitter conflicts between gregarious, sensitive Darby and boundary-pushing, standoffish Tulley, but they also delve deeper into the Walker family's roots and its history on Cape Cod.  Haddleton's use of multiple time periods offers various perspectives on both Darby's and Tulley's backstories. Most strikingly, the novel outlines the life of the boys' grandfather Nathaniel, a staunch abolitionist who once helped to free slaves from Florida plantations.  Nathaniel's history in particular sets up powerful themes, connecting the family to the land and seas of Florida and Massachusetts as well as their participation in historical events and prejudices.  Some paths, like Nathaniel's, are heroic, but others contain dark chapters that pit brother against brother, foreshadowing Darby and Tulley's present-day conflict.  The nuanced exploration of these themes of compassion and strife would be enough to recommend the book, but it also drives the plot in the present as Darby questions Tulley about his role in their father's death. The writing here lends a strong sense of place to the proceedings, as do thorough -- but not overwhelming -- details on ships, lighthouses, and the sea ... With the initial murder mystery linking all these disparate elements together, this must-read novel maintains a consistent, compelling sense of tension and feeling.  A well-researched mystery punctuated by thrilling tension and deep emotion.  -- Kirkus Reviews
