Book excerpt: PLAYING DETECTIVE A Self-Improvement Approach to Becoming a More Mindful Thinker, Reader, and Writer By Solving Mysteries By Robert Eidelberg The intentionally long subtitle to PLAYING DETECTIVE comes close to saying it all about this unique two-in-one book but not quite. PLAYING DETECTIVE is both a book to read for the fun of it and a book to read for self-improvement if you are looking to become a better thinker, reader, and writer. The for-the-fun-of-it part comes from reading and wondering about the mystery-solving approaches and skills of the contemporary and classic detectives showcased in these 17 remarkable mystery stories. The self-improvement part comes from the books four special interactive features: Suspicions?, How Clever?, DetectWrite, and Dont Peek! Multiple Suspicions? intermissions in the margins of each mystery are strategically placed to help you to think like a detective and like a good reader. Their provocative questions prompt you, as you read, to note and track clues and to make predictions while immersed in the mystery. How Clever? questions and activities, located immediately after each mysterys conclusion, give practice in the skills of detection and reflection so vital to the self-improvement goal of becoming a more observant reader and more mindful thinker. How Clever? sections enable you to review the now-solved mystery, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your own Suspicions? speculations, and evaluate just how capable both you and the storys fictional sleuth were in arriving at a solution. DetectWrite writing prompts following all the How Clever? sections of each mystery help you to establish your own voice as a more effective writer in a variety of writing forms while also giving you many opportunities to write like a detective story author. At the very end of the book (but dont jump to any conclusions!), the more than thirty pages of the Dont Peek! section provide one readers commentary: mindful explanations and a best reading of the solutions (not necessarily the answers) to the 17 case studies in PLAYING DETECTIVE.

Download or read book Cop a Feel written by Robyn Peterman and published by eKensington. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fast paced, laugh out loud fun” from the New York Times bestselling author of How Hard Can It Be? and Size Matters (RT Book Reviews). When you get time off for bad behavior, romance is the last thing on your mind—but good old-fashioned lust is a whole different story . . . Life undercover isn’t exactly one big party—not when you’re a DEA agent—but it sure beats a desk job. Except when you screw up big and someone has to go in and clean up after you. In that case, even paper-pushing sounds better than babysitting an erotic romance writer with as many enemies as there are euphemisms for “throbbing manhood.” I’ve been taking down drug dealers for so long, playing bodyguard to a woman named Shoshanna Lehump sounds like nothing more than a giant pain in my ass. And being partnered with the gorgeous egotistical jerk I never should have slept with in the first place just makes a bad situation even harder—especially when he pursues me as diligently as we’re supposed to be chasing the bad guys . . . What’s a girl have to do to get a happy ending anyway? Praise for the Handcuffs and Happily Ever Afters series “Outrageous, profane, hilarious, sexy and all kinds of wacky!”—Michelle Rowen, national bestselling author “A zany over-the-top rompfest.”—Lexi George, author of Demon Hunting with a Sexy Ex “Robyn Peterman has this fantastically kooky/dirty/off the wall sense of humor that totally turns my crank.”—The Book Vixen
