The Attendant by Bill Lamperes

Local author Bill Lamperes came up with a winner of an idea for his latest novel. In The Attendant, Lamperes examines an urban myth you’ve no doubt read online. Remember the parking attendant who collected money from every car visiting the zoo and never missed a day of work in twenty years?  Then one day disappears and we learn he never worked for the zoo to begin with? 

In The Attendant, we finally find out where he went and what he did with all that money.  Lamperes creates a memorable character, in Thomas Roberts; you’ll find yourself rooting both for and against him as he absconds with millions of dollars to begin his retirement.

Roberts left virtually no clues behind and it’s almost an impossible job the beautiful psychic, Melina Noesis, has taken on. She’ll stop at nothing to track down this intriguing man, but just how far will Roberts go to protect his secret past?

This book has propelled Lamperes’ work into the international spotlight as this urban legend originated in Bristol, England and Bristollers have adopted Lamperes as one of their own.

The Girl in the Lighthouse by Roxane Tepfer Sanford

The Dog-Eared Review

The Girl in the Lighthouse by Roxane Tepfer Sanford seems at first glance to be a nice well-told story about a girl growing up on an island in the North East just after the Civil War.  Sanford captures the period well as she introduces young Lillian Arrington. Lillian’s idyllic world is shattered with the death of her strange but beautiful mother and her life becomes unbearable at her Grandmother’s crumbling plantation mansion.  Shadows of V.C. Andrews’ Flowers in the Attic hang over The Girl in the Lighthouse but Sanford adds a surprising twist that keeps the reader guessing about Lillian’s mysterious and horrifying family secret until the very end.

Stressed in Scottsdale by Marcia Fine

Stressed in Scottsdale was a non-stop fun book to read!  Marcia Fine’s witty, fast pace really let you experience her lovable character’s out-of-control lifestyle. She pokes fun at the Snottsdale crowd while romping down Indian Bend and tooling through Fashion Square Mall, flying from one mishap after another until her family and friends insist she slow down.  With a little crazy “only in Scottsdale” help from her friends, the fun really starts as Jean Rubin tries to learn to relax.

Although this book can be enjoyed on its own, it is the third in a series of Books by Marcia Fine with her amusing Jean Rubin character. Gossip.com is her first book and Boomerang—When Life Comes Back to Bite You is the second in the series.
