The Corruptible

The Corruptible

by Mark Mynheir

"Dying on the toilet was not how I envisioned leaving this world." When I read that first line of The Corruptible, I knew I was going to enjoy this book. Ray Quinn, an ex-homicide detective, recently went into the private investigating business after an injury left him unable to work on the force. His latest case has him investigating the murder of a former colleague with his sidekick, the goofy Barney Fife-like Crevis Creighton, and friend Pamela Winters. 

This book, as I state above, had me interested from the first page. I love a good suspense novel, especially with humor and quirky characters mixed in. The book had numerous twists and turns, and I definitely didn't expect the ending. Mynheir creates in Quinn a very likeable, dynamic character. The Corruptible is the second and latest in the Ray Quinn series and I look forward to reading the first book, and the books to come. 

If you love reading mysteries with a twist of humor and interesting characters, you will love The Corruptible.

Life In Spite of Me: Book Review



Kristen Anderson tells a powerful story of the second chance she was given at life in Life, In Spite of Me. When she was 17 years old, after a series of traumatic incidents in her life, she made the decision to lie down in front of a train. Miraculously, she survived, but lost her legs. The story that follows captures her struggles with recovery and then the ultimate discovery of what really makes her life worth living.
I read this book almost straight through in one evening. I was captivated by her honesty and renewed hope at her second chance at life. I would recommend this book highly, especially to anyone who works with teenagers or knows of anyone who is struggling to find life worth living.
