The Ainsworth Chronicles, Book One and Two: The Joining, The Mystery of Ms. Teak

Description: Book One, The Joining, Top three finalist in the Canadian Book Club Awards, out of two hundred entries. Both Copies signed by the author. More than one set available. The Joining Back Cover Welcome to Victoria in Beautiful British Columbia, the most haunted city in North America, and to Detective Carol Ainsworth's first day undercover at the very grand old lady, The Fairmont Empress Hotel. Ready to deal with the two Italian families flying in for a wedding to unite them, she did not bargain for the ghosts, the FBI agent or the ancient curses that come along too. Add to that the very wonderful and mysterious psychic lady claiming you've invited her, the young boys disappearing, and the weird things happening to the unfortunates looking for their next fix trapped alongside spirits in the sewers, Carol found her first undercover assignment way more challenging than she could have imagined. The one saving grace was the great Empress High Tea that Agnes introduced her to and the fabulous scones that are to die for. Literally. I hate you! My wife, who is off on medical leave, won't get out of the bathroom. Can't put your book down. LOL. Bruce W. The ghosts of Victoria, BC are restless. The Joining is a riveting read for crime fiction lovers and those fascinated by tales of hauntings. Talaber expertly draws you into a multi-leveled world of local history, crime, and the supernatural, where a blue fairy, comprised of two sorrowful creatures, is more powerful than it knows. A perfect read for those foggy West Coast nights. Melanie Cossey, A Peculiar Curiosity I bought four of his novels, all right up my alley, Urban Fantasy and Paranormal thrillers. But as we were leaving my girlfriend opened up the copy of The Joining, I had purchased and said, "Stop! You gotta go back I have to buy this book." Frank had hooked her in the first three pages. Well Done. Joyce Nicholls I've read and reread his previous series, Stillwaters Run Deep, several times. Frank's writing is original and compelling. You run into characters and situations totally unexpected. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and your heart. Greta Olsson Frank Talaber, Writer by Soul. A natural storyteller, whose compelling thoughts are freed from the depths of the heart and the subconscious before being poured onto the page. Literature written beyond the realms of genre he is known to grab readers; kicking, screaming, laughing or crying and drag them into his novels. Enter the literary world of Frank Talaber.The Ainsworth Chronicles, Book Two: The Mystery of Ms. Teak What Dark Secrets Exist In Agnes and How Does One Psychic Stop Another From Killing her? Detective Carol Ainsworth really has her work cut out this time! Agnes at her craziest best. She discovers a secret that she can't reveal to anyone, including herself, and how does one psychic stop another from hunting her down?Meanwhile, Carol has her hands full with pissed-off Russians, the reborn builder of much of Victorian Victoria (yes, the Sir Francis Rattenbury), a young girl claiming to be our aforementioned psychic and there's something very wrong with Nathan, Carol's nephew that they saved from death. To top it all, why is Agnes' behaviour so weird? Even for Agnes!But in traditional English fashion High Tea is, of course, still being served. Reviews Do not read this book! Seriously, do not read this book - unless you are prepared to deal with a rift on your personal timeline. You will find that this book causes you to postpone activities that you would otherwise be doing. You will be transported into a world of history and mystery, crime and grime, Spirits and other worldly time travel, with the delectable Detective Carol Ainsworth. An amazing tale, which I thoroughly enjoyed.Paddy Kopieczek Fasten your seatbelt as Frank Talaber takes you on a multi-dimensional trek through time where history comes alive to reveal buried secrets and tortured souls. From the stately tea salons of old Victoria to the haunting desolation of British Columbia's rugged West coast waters, The Mystery of Ms. Teak will both entertain and invite you to confront the demons that live within us all.Michael deJong I want the author to take me to their world. I love the adrenaline rush I get from reading a book that scares the crap out of me. You know, the ones that have you screaming to the characters in your head or out loud. It tells me that the author did his or her job by getting me emotionally involved. I give up on books if I don't feel something. This book isn't one of those.April WolfgongAs a weaver of books you're beyond compare. Greta Olsson
