Rapid Reads
Show Notes
For our first Rapid Reads episode we gave short reviews of six different books:
Militia House by John Milas
“This is a beautiful horror story told masterfully and elegantly. It is a brilliant, different kind of war
novel, one that reveals the insidious ways the violences of war can tear people apart from the inside
out. “
Midnight is the Darkest Hour by Ashley Winstead
“a gothic Southern thriller about a killer haunting a small Louisiana town, where two
outcasts―the preacher's daughter and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks―hold the key to
uncovering the truth. “
Murder with Chocolate Tea by Karen Rose Smith
Tea shop owner and bride-to-be Daisy Swanson must solve a murder before she can say “I do”
in the latest Daisy’s Tea Garden Mystery set in Pennsylvania’s Amish country...
What Wild Women Do by Karma Brown
Two women's lives unexpectedly collide at a camp in the Adirondacks in this fascinating dual-
timeline novel full of ambition, secrets, betrayal, mystery, intrigue, nature, inspiration, and a journey of
self-discovery.
Spy Coast by Tess Gerritsen
“This is a nice take on retirement—five old spooks whose bones may ache but whose minds
remain sharp. You can expect mystery, action, and bloodshed in this exciting thriller launched straight
from the peaceful shores of Maine.”
TRIVIA
Last week's question was:
Which mystery author used the pseudonym Mark Sadler, John Crowe, Carl Dekker and William Arden?
a. Dan Brown
b. John Grisham
c. Mickey Spillane
d. Michael Collins
The answer is d. Michael Collins but the name Michael Collins is actually a pseudonym for Dennis Lynds.
Beginning in 1968 with The Mystery of the Moaning Cave and ending in 1989 with Hot Wheels, Lynds wrote
fourteen novels under the pen name William Arden for the juvenile detective series The Three Investigators,
which was originated by Robert Arthur, Jr. Under this same name, he also wrote five novels featuring private
eye Kane Jackson, a former military policeman who has become an industrial security specialist after leaving
the military. The first Jackson novel, A Dark Power, appeared in 1968.
Prolific, explaining that he had more ideas than he knew what to do with, in addition to his Collins name, he
created additional series under the pseudonyms Mark Sadler, John Crowe, and Carl Dekker. For a few years,
he published under three of these pseudonyms at the same time at three different publishing houses
This week's question is::
Mark Andrew Twitchell (born July 4, 1979) is a Canadian filmmaker. He became famous in April 2011 for
what?
a. He used a fictional murderer as a guideline for the crime
b. He pulled off the biggest jewel heist in history
c. He murdered his wife and 6 children
d. He murdered a man and filmed the murder
