Lisa Bickford had run away. Granted, she was a widow with two adult children, but still she was running away. Trying to persuade the kids to move out of the rambling old house and make ends meet had finally gotten to her. Without a moment's hesitation, she packed an overnight bag, left the kids a note, and went to her grandmother's house.

Returning to her grandmother's house, now hers and her brother's, brought back many wonderful memories. After their parents died, Lisa and her brother had lived with their grandmother. They might not have had a lot of money, but they still had some great times. Especially with Trace Marsley, her high school sweetheart. They'd parted after high school, each going their own way. She never expected to see him again.

Her first night away, a black cat follows her inside. Knowing from its appearance and docile manner that the cat is someone's pet, Lisa cares for it. While it sits on the windowsill, the cat's owner spots him and comes to claim it. To her surprise, the cat's owner is none other than Trace Marsley.

As Lisa and Trace renew their friendship, their old feelings for one another resurface. As much as she cares about Trace and wants to begin a relationship with him, Lisa still holds back. She'd left her kids and her old life to find freedom, a chance to live her life her way. Having a relationship meant she'd lose her newly found freedom, something she desperately wanted to keep. But she also wanted Trace in her life; they'd been given a rare gift, a second chance to love each other. Was freedom more important than love?

Flight to Love is simply amazing with a unique and refreshing storyline. Lisa isn't a young heroine, waiting for Mr. Right, unsure of what she wants from life. She's older, mature, sure of herself and very much aware of what she wants. Watching her find the answers to her solution, as well as coming to terms with her desires and motives, was like looking in a mirror; her doubts and fears are ours. The love story between Lisa and Trace picks up where they left off in high school, sweet and innocent, but quickly evolves into a complex adult relationship, with all its benefits and hurdles.

As soon as I finished Flight to Love I wanted to immediately reread it and fall in love with these characters again. Ms. Curry is a mistress of her art and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Paul Menns picks up the paper one day at a diner and sees his image. He is listed as a murder suspect, and then as he reads on, as the murder victim himself. What? Murder suspect and victim? That is the premise for the wonderfully gripping Dead Man's Image by Edna Curry.

Lacey Summers, private investigator, has been hired by Paul to try and figure out what in the hell is going on. This isn't a typical murder case. It is quite intriguing.

Paul is a long-distance trucker. All he knows is that something very fishy is going on. He gets back from a weeklong run, and his picture is on the front page of the paper. Lacey begins investigating immediately upon being hired by Paul. It is just too fishy. There is much more than meets the eye here.

As Lacey begins investigating, right from the very beginning, she knows Paul is no killer, and most certainly no dead man. Lacey had her work cut out for her.

Through some painful discoveries for Paul, the pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place. This is an excellent mystery. I couldn't stop reading Dead Man's Image because I was getting desperate trying to identify the clues needed to solve it.

Read Dead Man's Image and wrap yourself up in the mystery of why Paul saw his own image as a murder victim.
