Bloodsucking fiends stalk the cemeteries of London, well at least people who are really into dressing up like vampires, in the latest episode of Houdini and Doyle.

@writingpiazza Book Review: The Maladroit by Kara Piazza via @tdmiller820917

The word maladroit is defined as “inept, ineffective or clumsy.” But there is certainly nothing inept, ineffective or clumsy about Kara Piazza’s debut novel, The Maladroit. Rather, the words that spring to my mind after reading this book are “well-written, engaging, suspenseful.” Piazza has succeeded in creating realistic characters confronted by unimaginable situations. The result is a story that tests the resiliency of the human spirit to survive extraordinary conditions. Add a lovable maladroit into the equation and you have a recipe for fictional excellence.

Rather than tread across the familiar ground of the ghost as a supernatural entity to be feared, LeClair allows the ghost to demonstrate human attributes of strength, perseverance, stubbornness and humor. The result is a suspenseful story that is a marvelously addictive page turner.
