High above that pool of blackness was a dim light, and it was getting brighter as I was being steadily pulled toward it - a slow and painful climb. My senses and awareness were gradually returning with the struggle and getting stronger as I approached the light. However, I had no idea how long I had been swimming in this boundless pool of darkness - this pool of unconsciousness. Someone had slipped me a ‘Mickey Finn’…a ‘Mickey’ as it’s known by those who stoop to such evil tactics. Perhaps chloral hydrate or something stronger, and it hit me hard – too hard. The nauseating taste of aluminum foil in my mouth was overwhelming, like I had eaten a whole roll of the disgusting stuff and was still chewing on some small left-over pieces. My throbbing head was probably the results of a giant after-effect caused by the drugs, but somehow I believed there was more to my pain than just an oversize hangover. Remaining still, eyes closed, I tried to determine if I had any additional injuries or broken parts to deal with. Other than an unending pounding in the back of my head, everything else seemed to be intact – maybe not working correctly, but still together.

Another Thrilling Carson Reno Mystery
Darnell pens a magnificent mystery thriller in Sin and Stilettos. This is book 21, yes I said 21, of Darnell's Carson Reno series. First, I'm a big fan of Darnell's writing and storytelling abilities. His imagination is something very impressive. I am also a big fan of Carson Reno. There is something about these suspenseful and intense mysteries that have interconnected stories, and they are filled with twists and turns. Just when you think you figured it out, another twist. So enjoyable. Darnell's story is almost majestical as his words come to life, and Reno just jumps off the pages. Sin and Stilettos has an interesting set of characters, and it works for even at a time gone by. It's a book that you can't put down until the end, where everything comes together, and still takes your breath away. You can read the Reno stories as standalone, but I recommend reading each one, and enjoying every mystery and every action of Carson Reno! I look forward to reading many more stories by this author. This book is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews.
