Dr. Ackerman's Book of the Boxer
Published in Hardcover by TFH Publications (September, 1996)
Author: Lowell Ackerman
Average review score:

A Boxer owners must have!
I had eagerly awaited the arrival of this well documented and very informative book from the States and was not disappointed upon reading it.

The information contained in the book was easily understood and would be, in my opinion, easy to digest for even the unitiated boxer owner.

A must have for any Boxer owner and it takes pride of place next to some of those well known authors on the subject of Boxers, such as Volpe, Somerfield, Ward-Davies and Toimita.

Well work the wait and thanks Amazon

Author: E. C. Ayres
Average review score:

Fast-moving and interesting
The information about the phosphate industry in the novel is very interesting and the plot moves along at a good clip. Like NIGHT OF THE PANTHER, there are lots of villians and the setting is great. This is the second Tony Lowell mystery I have read and enjoyed.

George Rogers Clark and the War in the West
Published in Hardcover by University Press of Kentucky (October, 1976)
Author: Lowell Hayes Harrison
Average review score:

Outstanding Concise History
This is a wonderful work; well written and well researched with superb insights into events of the American Revolution that are usually ignored or only given scant coverage. The only real weakness is the book's brevity which does not allow the full development of the author's ideas or enoough detail on important issues. The bibliographic essay is wonderful and provides an outstanding guide to the sources on this fascinating topic.

Hour of the Manatee
Published in Hardcover by St. Martin's Press (February, 1900)
Authors: E. C. Ayres and E. C. Ayeres
Average review score:

Ayres Creates a Great Swampy Mystery
E.C. Ayres creates a wonderful setting of swampy Florida and his characters fit right in. The cast of Lowell and Bedrosin are so opposite that they mesh well into a great mystery.

Note: ALMOST ANY BOOK THAT WINS THE PWA/ST. MARTINS PRESS BEST FIRST PRIVATE EYE NOVEL CONTEST IS A SURE BET--Les Roberts(An Infanate Number of Monkeys), and Steve Hamilton(A Cold Day In Paradise).

Ice Magic (Lowell, Melissa. Silver Blades.)

Ice Magic, by Melissa Lowell
Martina Nemo lands the part as a stunt double for a skating movie. What really makes this book interesting is that it shows what it's like behind the scenes of a movie set as well as what it's like to be a figure skater. While working on the set Martina has to deal with a hard-to-get-along-with actress. I'm a figure skater and I found this book to be very interesting.

In Foreign Cities (Studies in Austrian Literature, Culture, and Thought. Translation Series)
Published in Paperback by Ariadne Pr (November, 1995)
Authors: Waltraud Mitgutsch, Lowell A. Bangerter, Anna Mitgutsch, and Michael Mitchell
Average review score:

A woman follows her heart's desire and pays heavily for it
This is a heartbreaking story but one with the touch of truth. The heroine of this narrative is a young American woman, an expatriate who thought the country of Mozart and the Sound of Music was for her, who marries too early and has children too soon - and then she meets the exact opposite to her stodgy, unimaginative Austrian husband: an American arts students touring Europe. It is not merely romantic love that leads her to abandon everything: her adopted country, her husband, even her children - it is also the stifling atmosphere of post-war Austria with its cultural narrowmindedness, its blinkered philistinism, its dangerous flirtation with Nazi ideology. Once she has rashly burned her bridges, the heroine (and there are some autobiographical features here) finds that the USA isn't everything she imagined it to be, and her lover soon wearies of her. In desperation, she is ready to eat humble pie, to return to her homeland and her husband - only to find that she is no longer wanted, that she can't even get a work permit. The end is lyrical, passionate and terribly sad. A moving book and one that will teach you something about Austria's pre-Waldheim years.

Lair of the Lizard

Florida's Tony Lowell in Santa Fe on a mystery

Santa Fe resident Ariel Lowell pleads with her father, private investigator Tony Lowell, to leave the Florida Gulf Coast and come to New Mexico on a visit. Tony immediately drops everything and laves for the southwest because he will do anything he can for his beloved daughter.

In Santa Fe, Tony learns that Ariel, based on some New Age razzle-dazzle wants him to look for a missing friend, Alicia Sandoval. With the help of a sleuthing peer and some weirdo mystic, Tony begins his search. He soon learns that Alicia's former spouse Danny Lopez has been stalking the missing woman and that his previous wife's bones have only recently been discovered in the nearby mountains. However, none of the natives take Danny, a vicious individual, seriously because a man has to do what a man has to do. This leaves it up to Tony and his cohorts to keep Alicia safe.

The fourth Tony Lowell mystery, LAIR OF THE LIZARD, has some great strengths and a major weakness. The readers have an opportunity to observe Tony struggle with a different culture and gain insight into his relationship with his flighty daughter. The case is well designed, relevant, and interesting. The interactions between the prime players (Tony and his team, Ariel, Alicia, and Danny) keep the essence of their character intact. Though E.C. Ayres shows he is a talented mystery writer, his novel falls short with his portrayal of every Santa Fe resident refusing to accept the obvious fact that Danny is a dangerous lunatic. Still, this is a very good entry in a fine series.

A Leap Ahead

Average review score:

Get Started On This Book!
One of the best books I ever read was A Leap Ahead by Melissa Lowell. It inspired me to read more of her books. Although I have read almost all her books, I like A Leap Ahead best. I got interested in this book because it is about ice skating. In this book you may learn feelings of other people and lessons of friendship. I say you should read this book out and also try other Melissa Lowells books, and write about your favorite book.
