Review: Love that Jazz

For the Love of Jazz is a very nice read, blending past lives with present through the soulful ambiance of a smoke-filled jazz joint and a worn, but stately old home. The principle characters are strong and well portrayed, and the mystery in the story line intrigued me from the start. The relationship between the principals was hot and intoxicating, however, the author didn't rely on that alone, but instead wove a rich tapestry that made the story full and complete. I could `see myself' in Josie, agreeing with her likes and loves, her passions and interests, although none of those things are actually a part of my life. It is the writing that put me there and made me care - a special quality in a writer. As to the mystery, it was well-conceived and kept me guessing, incorrectly as it turned out - to the very end. Well done.This reviewer received an ARC from the author in return for an honest review, which is given as a professional courtesy and without monetary compensation.
