The Wild Rose Press

book review by Kate Robinson

"Only Sara Donovan can come up with someone going to great lengths, including digging a tunnel, to steal one of the world’s largest diamonds..."

Both young adult and adult readers will quickly be charmed by this standalone sequel to Against My Better Judgment, the first book in Polcari's award-winning A Mauzzy & Me Mystery Series. The determination and grit of university student Sara Donovan are once again put to the test when the amateur sleuth discovers irregularities while working as a museum archivist intern during her summer break. As the story opens, the Carlton Museum staff are scrambling to install a traveling exhibit of diamonds and rubies on the last stop of a two-year national tour.  ... (read more)

The US Review news was brought to you by...
Reality Prism by MG Paul Vallely & John Trudel

"This innovative book blends fiction and fact to address  a Marxist takeover of America. The novel section creates an unsettling scenario in which the government is attacked from within. The nonfiction part  concerns threats to the American government and way of life or actions to get back on track." 
 – RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Indirect Work by Carol Sanford
 
"In this powerful volume, award-winning business educator Sanford builds upon five books and over three decades of research into human consciousness via time-honored indigenous teachings, lineage teachings, and quantum cosmology.  ... inspiring anyone interested in consciousness and the transformation of self and communities to reach for the regenerative change."
–  RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Tessa’s Heart: A Texas Story by Jackie Lewis
 
"Lewis has created a memorable protagonist in Tessa.  ... The elements of Southern Gothic literature embedded in this novel are delightful, particularly in the story's religious aspects.  ... One can only hope that a second installment is in the works." 
 - RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Muir's Gambit by Michael Frost Beckner
 
"In this prequel to the espionage thriller Spy Game, Beckner returns to Nathan Muir's CIA origins.  ...the line between [truth] and [lies] is blurred, often beyond recognition. Beckner consistently demonstrates a knack for taking high-stakes situations and storylines and adding an array of dimensions that deliver a more intimate connection." 
 - RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Biofilms and Dead Zones by David M. Carlberg
 
"A solid introduction to microbiology for the general reader, both insightful and entertaining. ... Factors of major interest for many people today, such as microbes and disease or natural resistance and immunity, are discussed at length.  Fascinating." 
 - RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
