A Mysterious Review of …
Diners, Dives & Dead Ends by Terri L. Austin. A Rose Strickland Mystery.
Review summary: There is a real disconnect between what the title and cover suggests for this mystery. Often bleak, the plot is thinly developed and the mostly interesting cast of characters is never fully realized. Not a very promising start to this series. (Click here for text of full review.)

A Rose Strickland Mystery
Henery Press (July 2012)
Publisher synopsis: As a struggling waitress and part-time college student, Rose Strickland's life is stalled in the slow lane. But when her close friend, Axton, disappears, Rose suddenly finds herself serving up more than hot coffee and flapjacks. Now she's hashing it out with sexy bad guys and scrambling to find clues in a race to save Axton before his time runs out.
With her anime-loving bestie, her septuagenarian boss, and a pair of IT wise men along for the ride, Rose discovers political corruption, illegal gambling, and shady corporations. She's gone from zero to sixty and quickly learns when you're speeding down the fast lane, it's easy to crash and burn.
