Middle River Murders (A Jesse Watson Mystery Series Book 4)

Who’s killing off members of an elite, yet dysfunctional, social club in Stanardsville? That’s what private investigator Billy Blackhawk has to find out before another member meets an untimely death. With the help of Jesse’s mom, Minnie Watson, the two of them set out to find the answer.

Still recuperating in the hospital, Jesse discovers that Billy and her mother have been covering up their involvement in a dangerous hunt for a killer. She is furious with them both, but the minute she’s released from the hospital, she overcomes her anger and joins in their search.

What started out as a prank, the antics of a seemingly sweet, little old lady, lands Daisy Clark in hot water when she becomes the suspect in the death of a club member. Could she possibly be responsible? Eyebrows are raised when others around her start dropping like flies—one member is poisoned, a neighbor goes missing, and the one person who sees right through Daisy Clark is killed when her car is run off the road.

The Low Carb Myth: Free Yourself from Carb Myths, and Discover the Secret Keys That Really Determine Your Health and Fat Loss Destiny

Do Carbs Make You Fat, Hungry, and Lazy?

The answer may surprise you, but the science says no! The truth is that people can be healthy and lean eating a huge variety of diets. This should tell you that the answer to better health and fat loss isn’t found in cutting one specific macronutrient from your diet, like many low-carb gurus would have you believe. So then why have low-carb diets gotten so much attention lately? Surely some of the claims about carbs, sugar, and insulin must be true, right?

Low-carbers would have you believe that all of our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate low-carb diets and that being a “fat burner” (instead of a “sugar burner”) leads to all sorts of magical effects like, boundless energy, superhuman athletic performance, better health–all while it melts off your bodyfat almost overnight.

Jefferson Bethke burst into the cultural conversation in 2012 with a passionate, provocative poem titled “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus,” The 4-minute video literally became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year). The message blew up on social-media, triggering an avalanche of responses running the gamut from encouraged to enraged.

With refreshing candor he delves into the motivation behind his message, beginning with the unvarnished tale of his own plunge from the pinnacle of a works-based, fake-smile existence that sapped his strength and led him down a path of destructive behavior.
