Summary: Beth Anderson is on her way. And she isn't slowing down.
Review: Joe Barbarello has one goal in life. Nothing else matters to him except to get a record deal. He, and his jazz band, are good, and they know it. A record deal is in sight, and that is all that matters to Joe, and to the rest of the band. They are completely focused on that one end, the record deal.

But then Joe meets Zoey Bauer. The sexist woman he has ever seen in his life. Now he has problems. Problems that he never asked for, and doesn't want. But he does want Zoey. He can't stay away from her.

It seems the day before Joe met Zoey, she had woken up, that morning, to find her boyfriend, Jay Da Volo, laying stabbed to death next to her in bed. She swears that she has no idea what happened. But the police, and everyone else, believe differently. Everyone, that is except Joe. He believes her.

Now it seems that the police even think that Joe may have actually been the one that killed Jay. Or at least helped Zoey kill him. And they will not give up until they prove it.

It looks like the only thing that Joe can do, now, is find out who really killed Jay. Because he knows, or thinks he knows, that Zoey couldn't have. And he definitely knows he had absolutely nothing to do with it.

But it looks like the police, his mother, and even his band members want him to leave it alone. Just let the police handle it. Better yet, dump Zoey. Joe just can't do that, if he doesn't find the real killer both he, and Zoey, will go down for the killing. A murder that he knows they are both innocent of.

Ms. Anderson has done it again. She has come up with another winner. She takes you on a sexy roller coaster ride that you don't want to get off.

Night Sounds will amuse you, make you laugh, make you cry, surprise you, shock you, and make you angry. The characters are both aggravating, and at the same time lovable. Amusing, and yet maddening. The story is fast paced, and holds your attention. You won't be able to put it down until you have read that last word.

I recommend that everyone pick up a copy of Night Sounds, and get ready for the best time of your life. Because Beth Anderson takes you for a ride you won't soon forget. All I can add to this, is, look out Jackie Collins, Beth Anderson is on her way. And she isn't slowing down.

Summary: Beth Anderson has done herself proud with Night Sounds!
Review: Joe Barbarello, a jazz pianist, is shooting for just one thing in life. And that's a record deal. When he meets Zoey Bauer, one of the sexiest women he's ever met, his life and priorities get turned upside down, and nothing is ever the same for him again. Now, instead of shooting for a record deal, Joe is trying to prove his innocence to the police. They want to charge him with the shooting of Zoey's boyfriend, and the only deal they want to give him is a guilty verdict, and a nice long sentence in prison. Now it's up to Joe to prove his innocence by finding the real killer. No one believes that Zoey could be innocent. The police, his mother, and his friends all want him to get away from her. Occasionally even Joe has his doubts about her. But as hard as he tries he can't stay away from Zoey. So, it's up to him to prove them both innocent. Even though he's not one hundred percent sure she is. Beth Anderson has written a fantastic mystery. Each page leads you in a different direction and is cleverly intertwined. In the midst of the devastation that is now Joe's life, Ms. Anderson will lighten the scene with Joe's overprotective, and know it all, mother. I found her character hilarious and so entertaining. I could have read a whole book just about her. You will not figure out this killer! No way! Night Sounds will definitely keep you guessing till Ms. Anderson decides to tell you just who it is. I found the entire story gripping and exciting. The surprising twist at the end of the book is so startling that you'll catch your breath in surprise! Beth Anderson has done herself proud with Night Sounds!

Throw in a difficult mother for Joe, she is a real trip, and the funky musician friends, especially Fuzz, he is a blast, add to it the fact that this band is about to find out if they can make it in the world of music, and do not forget the police are dogging both Joe and Zoeys every move. Go on the journey with them as they set about to try to find the real murderer. And they are successful but at a cost.

***** This story was a page turner, well written, strong script, strong characters, and will keep you guessing right up to the very end. A mix of happy and sad, this story was EXCELLENT! *****

Summary: Highly recommended
Review: NIGHT SOUNDS engages the reader from the first passionate page to the last with vitality and energy under laid by romance and murder. The sexy, sultry blues of jazz and smoke-filled rooms overlay this novel, while Beth Anderson's voice mesmerizes the reader, drawing one deeper into the dangerous world where impossibility meets improbability.

The passion and power of the success of appearing onstage with his jazz band before an enraptured crowd doesn't match the immediate and dangerous attraction that consumes Joe Barbarello the first moment he sees the woman he sees on the front row. In that moment he has no idea of the danger and disruption she would cause, he only was aware of his immediate and total obsession for Zoey Bauer. Entranced by the velvet heat of the mysterious Zoey, Joe never considered walking away from her on the fateful night.

Three days later, when he finally emerges from his passion filled time with Zoey, Joey finds himself facing possible murder charges. Indeed, Zoey is the prime suspect in the grisly murder of her boyfriend. She claims to have awakened the night after what should have been their engagement party, with him lying brutally murdered beside her. Further, not only she Zoey cling to her innocence, but she also claims she heard and saw nothing the night before. And when she pulls Joe into her life, the police are certain the two plotted together to commit the gruesome murder.

The intensity of Anderson's novel is extraordinary, from the imagery of Chicago's music scene to the Gold Coast lifestyle of the rich. NIGHT SOUNDS creates a hot, bluesy novel told with start self-honesty, where the characters are both realistic and flawed, AND The atmosphere rolls with cigarette smoke and the bitter wisdom gained by experience. If you love novels by F. Scott Fitzgerald, then you'll love Beth Anderson.
