You Are a Bullmastiff

You are confident, reasonable, and very calm. Nothing shakes you up. It's likely that you were a bit wild when you were younger, but you've gotten that out of your system. The only time you get aggressive is when someone tries to threaten or harm you in some way. There's a little bit of wolf underneath all that sheep's clothing!

What Breed of Dog Are You?

A Bullmastiff?? This is a breed I haven't heard of before, but we do have the same jowls! LOL

Yesterday I finished a book my librarian recommended, "Beachcomber" by Karen Robards. It's a "who done it" where you don't know the answer until the last chapter. I would recommend this book.

Christy Petrino hadn't planned on a vacation on Ocracoke Island, but then she learns her finance` and boss, suave Michael DePalma, is a "made man" and the Philadelphia law firm where she works is a front for the mob, she breaks her engagement and quits her job. But no one walks away from the DePalma family business so easily. Only if she delivers a locked briefcase to a motel on Ocracoke Island will she and her mother and sisters be free.

But, after clandestinely making her drop-off late at night, Christy suspects she is being followed on the moonlit beach and unwittingly runs into a new kind of terror. Now a witness at the center of a homicide investigation, Christy learns the police are hunting a serial killer they refer to as the "Beachcomber" because beautiful young women who in fact resemble her have disappeared recently while vacationing at nearby beach communities. Christy doesn't know whom to fear more, a serial killer who believes she might be able to identify him or the DePalma family, whose tentacles she can't seem to escape.
