Reprisal Road: A Joe Erickson Mystery by Lynn-Steven Johanson

This book is a detective mystery that doesn’t just follow the standard formula. From the very beginning, it creates a dark mood that only deepens with each murder. The roses and Latin phrase add a symbolic weight that makes the crimes feel more chilling than random acts of violence. It’s a clever setup that immediately raises questions you want answered.

What impressed me most was the way the story revealed its truths. The suspense stayed high, but when the answers came, they weren’t just shocking for the sake of it—they actually made sense. That’s rare in mystery novels. Reprisal Road delivers a crime story that is both exciting and believable, and that’s what makes it a must-read for fans of the genre.

Thanks for reading.

Title - Ron Ladner 

Author - Shaggy's Cheeseburger 

Ron Ladner shares his story in a voice that feels personal and honest. He doesn’t try to sound like a polished motivational speaker. Instead, he talks like a real person who has lived through good times and bad. That authenticity makes the book stand out.

He takes us through his childhood, his experiences with hurricanes, and the unexpected journey of starting Shaggy’s. It’s not just about business—it’s about people, relationships, and how community support can shape lives. His stories are filled with humor in some places and deep emotions in others.

What impressed me most was how he found meaning in something as simple as a cheeseburger. For him, it wasn’t just food—it became a metaphor for comfort, happiness, and belonging. That fresh perspective makes the book feel different from other memoirs.

By the end, you feel like you’ve learned something valuable—not only about resilience but also about how to find joy in everyday life. Ron’s story inspires without being preachy, and that’s what makes it powerful.
