The Little Mornings, by C M Albrech
t is a murder mystery with 262 abso
lutely absorbing pages. We have thr
ee main characters here – the grand
father, an alcoholic of questionabl
e character, a slightly off balance
 woman (Angie) and an impressionabl
e young man (Darcy) who becomes mix
ed up in a whirlwind of events. Mur
der, thievery and lies keep the uns
teady relationship between Darcy an
d Angie on edge. Keeping a secret i
s no easy task, especially when som
eone else pops into the scene with
inside knowledge to the truth. Darc
y, unable to control the events, be
comes another person entirely from
the one we knew in the first few pa
ges of the book.

Perhaps because I am a writer, and
this book has to do with the publis
hing industry, I am partial to the
theme. Grandfather’s description of
 a writer’s methods to reach their
creative dreams had me laughing out
 loud – because it was so true. As
were the frustrated, aspiring write
rs and the over worked publishers.
I felt the book was very realistic
in this regard.

I loved the first few paragraphs –
they really pulled me in. I kept he
aring Humphry Bogart’s voice in my
head narrating the story as I read
along. I sat on the edge of an unco
mfortable plastic chair 2 days ago
and opened the first page to begin
reviewing The Little Mornings. I me
ant to take only a ten-minute break
 from my day to enjoy the sunshine.
 The next thing I knew, my leg and
butt-cheek were both completely num
b and lifeless… and I was on page 5
0! So be warned, readers, this book
 may very well take you out of comm
ission for a few days. I could not
wait to get back to it every minute
 I had to spare!
