Newest Lillian Dove Review In: SUPPOSE
Like all good mysteries, Adamson creates a tale riddled with questions. Intertwined with bantering dialogue and heated conversations, Lillian's self-imposed ponderings about recent events help draw us into the heart and mind of the central character. As a soul-searching individual coming to grips with the past, Lillian's dream states offer a glimpse of her lost childhood and her fractured life. Adamson clearly has an eye for detail. Whether exposed in the sharp visuals of a crime scene, or revealed in the aromatic constants of a nursing home environment perfumed by the fragrance of "urine, unwashed bodies, and the Wednesday night meatloaf special," the writing paints a colorful, and vivid picture. Through the character of Lillian Dove, readers are introduced to a flawed, but tenacious female heroine who is genuinely likable. Suppose is a mystery filled with small-town heart, yet big city edge, unexpected excitement, and a touch of humor. Together they prove a smart, and winning combination. ON AMAZON'S UNLIMITED! |

Say hello to Lillian Dove, a discount liquor store clerk battling to stay out of mayhem. And keep herself from opening a bottle of Absolut.
Lillian has a hard time letting go her old ways. It’s not so much the drinking. Sobriety has been easy. It’s that she still gets in trouble even though she knows better; continues her obstinate, stubborn defenses, and has a weakness for Pepsi, chocolate, and the type of men she worries are the “wrong type”—but the most exciting.
She lives in Frytown, Iowa, a small burg where everyone knows everyone’s business and has an opinion on it. She struggles to care for her convalescent mother, as stubborn as she. And her first job in town is as a Communications Facilitator (lobby receptionist) for the Frytown Police Department.
Admit to Mayhem, Lillian’s first step to doing it differently, finds her stopping to rescue someone trapped in a house fire. Only to end up having the good Samaritan act finger her as the only eye-witness to arson and murder—and to run for her life.
Murder, Mayhem, Romantic Comedy, the Lillian Dove Series provides reading entertainment and invigorating deliberations on life.
