Doctor Lovebeads



After reading a pretty heavy novel about ex-pats in Afghanistan titled Into the Sun, I decided something lighter was called for, and decided to read Doctor Lovebeads, a "Murph the cabdriver" adventure by the late Gary Reilly.  This particular story starts when Murph drives two teenagers - for free - up to a concert at Denver's Redrocks Amphitheater, and a few days later is visited by the police, who are investigating their disappearance after the concert.  These books are a fun read, and a good antidote to serious literature. Reilly wrote 11 of these Murph stories, all unpublished, before he passed away, and his friends and family are making sure they wind up in print, which is a good thing.  I recommend them heartily, and suggest you start with the first one, The Asphalt Warrior, and read them in order.  You can check out the web site for these books at http://theasphaltwarrior.com/index.php/the-asphalt-warrior-series/.  Happy reading.
