Scareway to Heaven Chapter 3, or Boring Talk
The chapter starts out with Rennie at her brownstone(s), with the horribly overnamed Thane of Gondor (their dog) barking at what is presumably Turk coming home. This opening paragraph heralds one of her patented time skips, as the next paragraph deals with her annulment, which she wouldn’t have gotten because neither she nor Stephen has…
Scareway to Heaven Chapter 2, or Rennie Christ Superstar
This chapter really knocked me for a loop. It’s the worst chapter in the series so far, consisting of virtually nothing except Rennie getting fellated over how wonderful and stainless and the soul of perfection she is, and, combined with the life challenges I was having, it made me take an extended vacation from this…
Update
For those of you who may be wondering why I haven’t posted in a while: recently I was forced to quit a job I’d held for almost ten years for a company I’d been employed by for the better part of two decades. I have a new job now, but I’ve been training for the…
Scareway to Heaven Chapter 1, or Stayed in Manhattan
The chapter heading indicates it’s three weeks before the night of the murders. Wait, you mean we have multiple chapters to go before we finally get to the action? And it’s a big flaw of this series that my first reaction to seeing that heading was to scream “Wait, you mean we have to spin…
Scareway to Heaven Prologue, or Snow Night
The book does start off with a page and a half of “Author’s Notes and Acknowledgements” where Kennealy-Morrison lets her New York chauvinist flag fly. She also thanks Lenny Kaye and Bebe Buell, who provided the blurbs on the backs of two of the books in the series. And now I see the most shocking…
Part the Tenth, or Scareway to Heaven
Intro, or the Stuff Before the Book is Opened Scareway to Heaven: Murder at the Fillmore East, the sixth book in the Rock & Roll Murders, was published in 2014, according to the copyright page. Amazon.com lists the publication date as October 27, 2014, and this book again doesn’t have the ISBN number listed except…
Go Ask Malice Epilogue, or Wrong Turn 2: Book’s End
And so we come to the end of Go Ask Malice: Murder at Woodstock, and none too soon. Just so you’re aware, the entire twenty-three pages of the epilogue will be dedicated to how beautifully things turned out for Rennie. Specifically, Turk’s grandfather the Duke of Robinhood died and he moves up to be the…
Go Ask Malice Chapter 24, or Astrologer Wars: The Last Reporter
The last chapter of this book starts out with Rennie bitching at Turk about Lionheart getting ready to go out on their tour. He tries telling her he’ll be fine but she’s dubious. The writer establishes us in time by telling us Woodstock was a week ago and then we get a good two pages…
Go Ask Malice Chapter 23, or Astrologer Wars: Attack of the Killer
This chapter has the heading of “Monday morning, August 18,” and I’m not sure whether it’s dawn yet because the famous Jimi Hendrix rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” took place at dawn on Monday, so I guess it’s still dark, even though the first paragraph tells us, after Rennie’s searched all the organized festival area,…
Go Ask Malice Chapter 22, or Rainy with a Chance of Deduction
The chapter starts out with almost three pages about the rainstorm at the festival on Sunday. Rennie mentions the electricians being concerned about performer safety and the stage slipping in the mud. Then we get reminded that she’s a reporter and it’s her job to report on the acts at the festival, so she condescends…
