Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Emperor Norton's Ghost (Fremont Jones Mysteries)

Description

Caroline Fremont Jones revels in her return to San Francisco, where a new city rises from the ruins of the 1906 earthquake. Even more rewarding is her business partnership and rekindled love with ex-spymaster Michael Archer Kossoff. But their private investigation agency is barely off the ground when Fremont's new friend, lovely but quirky Frances McFadden, becomes their first client--and it's a most troubling case.

The adventurous but skeptical Fremont, lured by Frances to a séance, sees her companion fall into a disturbing trance. Despite the opposition of her powerful, controlling husband, Frances is determined to develop her budding psychic ability. Soon she confides to Fremont that a restless spirit from San Francisco's legendary past has entrusted her with a mission.

But when one of the city's female mediums is murdered, and then another, Fremont's reservations turn to dread. Who has killed these women who wield their own power in the metaphysical world, and why? As Fremont's investigation takes her into the murky depths of spiritualism, she places not only herself, but also her dearest friends in mortal danger.

Like all good historical mysteries, Dianne Day's books about a feisty young woman from Boston named Fremont Jones who winds up solving crimes in and around San Francisco in the early 1900s are a delicate balance of odd and exotic period details and characters with motivations we can sympathize with today. The notion that Fremont's lover-partner, a Russian named Michael Kossoff, might be involved in a plot to murder the mad monk Rasputin is made more believable by his endearing habit of bringing home fresh pastries for breakfast. That Fremont's new friend Frances McFadden seems to have summoned up at a seance the spirit of that infamous 19th-century San Francisco character who crowned himself Emperor Norton I of the United States and Defender of Mexico is balanced by the bruises Fremont notices on the battered wife's arms. And descriptions of a determined San Francisco rebuilding itself after the 1905 earthquake remind us of more recent Bay Area disasters. Day writes with wit and energy, and her Fremont Jones is a totally plausible modern woman born a few decades before her time but making the most of that accident of history. The first three books in this laudable series are The Strange Files of Fremont Jones, Fire and Fog, and The Bohemian Murders. --Dick Adler

Summary: "Dianne Day fan"

I thoroughly enjoy all of her stories. I read them over and over. I wish she would write just one more about Fremont Jones to see what she is doing after Beacon Street Mourning.

Summary: "A great story with a weak ending..."

Emperor Norton's Ghost was well written and quite entertaining... all the way up to the final chapter, which wrapped everything up quite rapidly and rather weakly, and with what appeared to be a giant leap of intuition on the part of the main character, Fremont. To me, a good mystery story is littered with clues which can help a savvy reader to solve said mystery. The skill of a mystery writer lies in the peppering of the story with these clues without allowing the reader to determine whodunit before the denouement. The one clue discovered by Fremont which connects the victims to the killer is tenuous at best, and the conclusion is, well, rather vague and hasty, rather a disappointment, given how great the rest of the book was.

Summary: "Fremont Jones You Go Girl!"

This was my first Fremont Jones adventure; it certainly won't be my last. The city as it was a century ago, a woman ahead of her time, with an obviously adoring lover who respects her knowledge and ability. AND the murder...Yessir a real whopper of a whodunnit!

Summary: "Quite a disappointment"

For the longest time, I couldn't figure out in what period this book was set. Stilted language that I guess is supposed to sound like the language of the early 1900s. References to things that happened during that period, but the main character seemed too modern.

I live in the San Francisco Bay area, am familiar with "Emperor Norton", and the spiritualist movement, so I was prepared to like this book.

It's difficult to articulate exactly what I didn't like about it - past my initial confusion, it turned out to be less than interesting. This was my first Dianne Day book and I'm not sure I'm willing to take a chance with another.

Summary: "Fremont and Spiritualism"

Fremont and her partner in life and business, Michael Kossoff are now running an investigative business, J & K and sort of sharing a duplex with the office on the ground floor. Their former policeman friend Wish Stephenson is working for them. Fremont has made friend who doesn't care for her unusual lifestyle, Frances McFadden. Frances is an abused wife with an interest in Spiritualism. While at a seance with Fremont, she finds herself taken over by a spirit. The medium orders her out of the building, but later asks for a visit. Fremont and Frances arrive at her house to find her murdered and very recently. Fremont of course wants to investigate and to save her friend, but Michael counsels her to be cautious. In the midst of all this, Fremont's father is coming for a visit without his despised wife Augusta. Michael tactfully leaves town. Another medium is also murdered and Fremont wonders if it is a trend and if Frances' brutal husband is involve.

The two plotlines of this novel blend beautifully. The murder mystery was a little more difficult than most, maybe because I was distracted by Fremont's reunion with her father. This is the best of the series so far.
