“The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”, by Stieg Larsson

Are you looking for a well written murder mystery?   .  This suspense thriller with the main characters Mikael Blomkvist and Lisabeth Salander trying to figure out who murdered Harriet Vanger is the book for you.   The characters are well thought out and complex.  The book may be a little complicated  but please stick with it.  I loved the characters . This is the first of three books.  This is a must read, please read them in order.  The other two books in the series are  already released and waiting for you to read once you have finished book one.

“Hunter’s Moon” by Don Hoesel

When CJ Baxter left his hometown seventeen years ago, he never expected to set foot there again.  Although he’s an accomplished writer, CJ’s life is slowly unraveling: his latest book has received bad reviews, his soon to be ex-wife has locked him out of his bank account and his house, and now there is a warrant out for his arrest.  The death of his grandfather brought him back to Adelia, NY where generations of Baxters have lived in wealth and prestige, and family secrets are something that you can be killed for.

“Hunter’s Moon”, the second book by Don Hoesel, is filled with interesting small town characters where everyone knows each other and all the latest gossip can be learned from the town diner.  After the first 2 chapters, the story picks up and the plot thickens, and long told secrets begin to be revealed.
