A Nora Huggins Mystery Series A Novella by: John Russo Genre: Cozy Mystery Release: December 16, 2011 Editor: Ellee Braun Line editor: Valerie Haley Cover artist: Nika Dixon Words: 18435 Pages: 70 ISBN: 978-1-927361-45-0 Price: $3.50 Back Cover: While attending her annual Mystery Reader’s guild meeting held on Block Island Nora is quickly engrossed in the murder of the inn keeper. A hurricane prevents the mainland state police from arriving for several days, leaving the local sheriff and his deputy over their heads with the homicide. Being the off-season, the inn’s only guests are the nine members of Nora’s group plus a small staff, the two owners, and a troublesome relative of one of the owners. Stranded by the storm and quarantined by the sheriff, Nora takes advantage of the opportunity to do enough snooping to discover that any one of the staff had the opportunity and motive to commit the murder. Nora’s in her glory as the inexperienced sheriff allows her to question everyone until she ultimately puts the pieces together and points him in the direction of the killer. Excerpt: A loud commotion in the hall outside their room brought Marci out of her light slumber. “What’s going on out there?”
“I’m not sure,” Nora replied as she came out of the bathroom and headed for the door.
“Oh Nora, it’s terrible!” She was greeted by an excited Lillian Smith and Harriet Howell in the hallway.
“What’s terrible?” Marci was close behind Nora.
“Someone’s been found dead,” Harriet exclaimed.
“I believe it’s one of the innkeepers,” Lillian added. “We were in the lobby having coffee when the young lady who does up the rooms came out shouting for someone to call a doctor.”
“Calm down,” Nora suggested. “Calling for a doctor doesn’t mean a person’s dead.”
Just then, Shelly Newman appeared. “I’m pretty certain he’s dead. From what I could see from the open door, there’s blood covering his chest. They were calling the sheriff as I headed up here.”
“Who’s dead?” Marci asked. “It’s one of the owners. At least, that’s what the chef said after he went in and checked.” MEET THE AUTHOR:Also by John Russo:

Elixir is fantasy at its best. Katie Caroll draws us into her world with ease, her well-polished writing style and flow holding us captive until the end. I especially liked the relationship between Katora and her sister Kylene, obviously drawn from real life. I can't wait to read the sequel.
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this very charming and witty book to read on the skytrain. But I have to say it was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop giggling out loud at Maggie Lyon's humour. People kept looking at me, and I tried my hardest to hold in the laughter, but it was impossible. What a delightful story! What child wouldn't love this. It's a story for 6-10 year olds. It's a great book to read to your children when they're young or by themselves when they're older. If your child likes Geronimo Stilton, they'll fall in love with Dewie the little dragon and his friend Jones the toad. I hope Maggie Lyons will turn this into a series.
Joy Smith pulled me into the story on the very first pages. Fast moving, first I hated Victor, than I love him, than I hated until I loved him. And Marisol with her guarded heart had me hoping throughout that she'd open it again to love.
I loved her descriptions. They created such visuals, I felt I was traveling and discovering Colombia with Victor.
Ms. Smith writes believable, flawed characters that I wound up cheering and caring for on each page. I can't wait to read her next book. Goodreads Reader Review - Five Stars

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot of this novel. From Annabelle putting her life in danger when running away from Boarding School where she has lived since the age of five to her tenacious pursuit in finding clues as to her origins.
She is rescued by Roland, who is too much of a gentleman not to help the intriguing young lady. I relished the suspense of the reciprocal desire between Roland and Belle which is thwarted by misunderstanding after misunderstanding and prevents them achieving mutual fulfilment. The reader yearns for the truth to replace the false pretences and for Roland and Belle to overcome each other's prejudices.
Rosemary Morris' major and minor characters spring to life. I sympathised with Annabelle and found Roland charming. Apart from this, Rosemary's great attention to every aspect of the Regency era is impressive.
False Pretences is a ripping read and I look forward to reading this author's next novel. - F.Way- Amazon Review
