I originally was going to tackle these stories separately, but I would be repeating myself too much. Maybe if I hadn't read them all so soon after each other I could have done it successfully. So, I'll review the Presley Thurman Mysteries as one.All of these stories are centered around one person, Presley Thurman. She is an outspoken woman who acts before she thinks many times. She is not afraid to take a chance and will despite the consequences. She also seems to be a magnet for trouble. Murder follows her everywhere starting a senator from her hometown who gets it right after seeing her. Through the stories, you follow Presley from one deadly adventure to another and finding a little romance as she goes along.I did enjoy the stories and the plot the author wove. Nothing was black or white or what it appeared to be. There were many twists and turns that kept you reading to find out what was going to happen next.The characters were very unique and lively. None of them were boring or bland. A few were over the top, but I've met a few in real life just like that. So, in that sense they were pretty real.I will say that the scene shifts were very confusing at times. The transition from one scene to another was too quick or not there at all. That had me going back to read sections over again to get my bearings. Dialogue would continue and I wouldn't know for a few paragraphs that I was in another scene. That slowed down my reading.Over all, a good read, but the scene transition really hurt my enjoyment. If you like mysteries, give it a try. The stories are very good.Note: This book was received as part of a book tour with no expectation of a positive review.
