Why iAuthor?

The Problem

For emerging authors, the digital revolution is a mixed blessing. The Web may have democratised the act of publishing, but it hasn't democratised the outcome.

Authors of equal talent do not have equal access to readers.

This reality is replicated across the wider publishing industry. Micro-presses, smaller independents and book app publishers continually struggle for exposure. In a world numb with digital "noise", the gap between talent and opportunity is widening.

Being noticed through the cognitive clutter is now harder than ever.

Murder by Bequest -- "Finely Crafted," S. A. Molteni

#AmazonCart

4.0 out of 5 stars Finely Crafted October 16, 2014

By S.A. Molteni

Format:Paperback

Murder by Bequest by John Spencer Yantiss is a finely crafted novel in the vein of Sherlock Holmes.

The story begins with Eleanor Harkness visiting detective Sherrod Reynard Colsne and his assistant, Montague Boyd 'Monty' Weston in their New York City, "Granite Palace" to discuss employing them to find her father's killer.

The book is written from Monty's point of view and spreads over many years and many continents, although the book details just four days. Throughout the story other characters are murdered and the mystery of who the true killer is becomes all the more imperative to solve.

Descriptively detailed with the sights ands sounds of New York, Europe and India, it is evident that the author is well-traveled and offers a believable story with well-developed, realistic characters.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good murder/mystery. This book certainly delivers a fine storyline as well as a neatly tied up ending that is well worth read.

It is about time; honest, favourable reviews are, though seemingly natural and 1,2,3-easy, difficult types of promotions to come by in the authoring, publishing world.  Check this out! Finely Crafted, October 16th, 2014, By S. A. Molteni

Sherrod Reynard Colsne (pronounced kōn, with silent “l” and “s”) and Montague Boyd “Monty” Weston, the protagonists of Yantiss’ Murder by Bequest reminds me of Sherlock Holmes and Watson. And, rightly so. The author’s style of writing, the tone and treatment of the plot, the visual appetite of the story, luring murder mysteries, and of course, the Holmes-ian dialogues.

Criss-crossing three continents, are the lives of an American aristocratic family’s past. And the past certainly caught up with them. When multiple murders haunt the Harkness family, we’re pulled into a murder spiral. After the murder of Bertrand Wellman Harkness, IV, his elder daughter Eleanor Catherine Harkness, hires the two detectives to solve the puzzle. Their presence on home turf isn’t well-taken, and they end up having to almost prise open mouths to get closer to the murderer.

Colsne and Weston, put Eleanor up at Colsne’s Townhouse, as she’s desperate to get away from the clutches of her large and imposing family, including her mother, Camille. The next couple of days are packed with more murders and plots, scrutinized investigation by Colsne and then a superb climax. I thought I’d stop breathing, at one point, towards the end of the story and the book!

John Spencer Yantiss was born to parents of Anglo-Scotch-Irish, and Lithuanian descent. In 1993 he began writing classic detective mysteries, based on the character Sherrod Reynard Colsne, in the transatlantic and cumulative tradition of Sherlock Holmes and Nero Wolfe. He’s musician and singer, he started piano lessons at age 5, and began writing poems and songs at age eight.
