The Cop's Daughter: The Series
by Laura Marie Henion
Rockland County author, Laura Marie Henion, may just be the next queen of suspense. Ms. Henion, a mother of three, writes fast paced romance-mysteries and has cranked out 3 books in 18 months. Cop's Daughter: The Series-Victoria, is the third one to hit Pickwick's shelves this 2006-2007-winter season. All Henion's characters lead edgy, steamy lives and Victoria is no exception.
The book has a shotgun start with Victoria struggling to escape from an abductor. The heroine is a journalist whose investigative style drives her to find the killer of her father, police detective Danny Mardullo. Victoria is as fearless as the men in her life. Her family is populated with police officers, firemen and marines. Being a young woman doesn't stand in her way of seeing justice served, even if it means going undercover to romance a man that the FBI suspects of other crimes.
I found the plot held surprises with homicide detective, Tod Kafrey, who carries more than a torch for Victoria. I also enjoyed reading about Victoria's family gatherings replete with quirky relatives. Cop's Daughter entertains with an exciting but believable plot. Laura Marie Henion packs a one-two punch on the pages of her newest book.
Jerry Lowenstein, an octogenarian and a nice guy, has written a fantastic mystery/ suspense novel that takes place just after WW2 on and near Bikini Atoll. He actually witnessed an atomic bomb test. Can you imagine that?
