And if all that isn’t enough, she has to figure out who’s trying to kill her, too. The guy is hotter than Hades, which makes sense, she guesses, since apparently that’s where he comes from. Meanwhile, she must scrutinize an open arson case that points to Reyes Farrow as the culprit, much as she doesn’t want to face the possibility of his guilt. Surrounded by a close circle of trusted friends on both sides of life, she is suddenly confronted with the possibility of a serial killer who’s been under the radar for decades and may be after her sister. So when more than a few mysteries crop up, both in the real world and the ghostly realm, she’s one busy lady. Charley, the daughter and niece of cops, has taken on the additional earthly role of solving crimes as a private investigator and consultant to the Albuquerque police force, often with the secret help of spirit allies. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s not easy being someone who can see ghosts, especially as a grim reaper, who has the complicated task of helping spirits move into the next spiritual plane.

Tortilla flat book review5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() An exception was his first novel Cup of Gold which concerns the pirate Henry Morgan, whose adventures had captured Steinbeck's imagination as a child. Most of his earlier work dealt with subjects familiar to him from his formative years. Steinbeck moved briefly to New York City, but soon returned home to California to begin his career as a writer. This upbringing imparted a regionalistic flavor to his writing, giving many of his works a distinct sense of place. Steinbeck grew up in the Salinas Valley region of California, a culturally diverse place of rich migratory and immigrant history. In 1962, Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for Literature. In all, he wrote twenty-five books, including sixteen novels, six non-fiction books and several collections of short stories. He wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Grapes of Wrath, published in 1939, and the novella, Of Mice and Men, published in 1937. ![]() Behind the Lens by Marita A.
