Bond Elam’s “The Persistence of Illusion” starts things off in the
Mystery
Weekly Magazine: April 2019 issue. Detective Harry Sturgis occasionally
experiences a moment where it seems like the world has shifted in some way and
he is on another planet. He is having one such moment as he faces Professor Garrison’s
gun. It all started because he was assigned a cold case to solve.
It has taken him a year to get to this specific moment. A year of
anticipation and planning in “Honey’s Turn” by Michael Cahlin and Beth Slick.
He isn’t the only one who has been planning this past year.
Wrestling has always been a hard job and doing the circuit for
little money in 1976 was tough. For Jack Welch “One Night At The Pine Lake Motel”
is going to cost way more than the eighteen dollars he paid to get the room
key. Blu Gilliand takes readers back to the way it was before the WWE exploded
and made a lucky few wrestlers rich.
Kent has been playing the undercover game for six years now at the
Sun Meadows Mobile Home Estates. In “Paper Soldier” by Al Onia, the disguise
has held so far and nobody is the wiser. At least, that has been the case until
now.
Ben is back home and visiting his parents just in time for the
annual town event. He brought Sarah with him in “Tangerines and Wild Garlic” by
Steve Toase. Tradition must be honored and the festival, which dates back
before the Norman invasion, will go on even if at least one outsider is
present.
She came looking in the small bar in Boulder Creek for one Charlie
Kane. She had good reason in “Andromeda Smiled” by C. W. Blackwell. Back in the
day Detective Charlie Kane found Lacy Howell giving the family and the public a
rare feel good story where somebody missing was reunited with family and loved
ones. Blaze Moonriele has come to the bar seeking Charlie’s help in finding her
sister, Andie.
No One knows why the pawn broker died in “Imperceptible” by Susan
Sundwall. Hank Gates was healthy and yet died in his sleep in this “You-Solve-It”
mystery. Detective Pauline Ritter and Sergeant Dan McKinney are on the case and
begin by talking to the surviving business partner, Pete Winters.
The issue closes with the solution to the March “You-Solve-It”
puzzle titled “A Flap Over A Ring” by Jenna Weart.

For quite some time
now I have been gifted a subscription by the publisher with no expectation at
all of a review. I read and review each issue as I can. To date, I have never
submitted anything to this market and will not do so as long as I review the
publication.
