An unforgettable review of As One Must, One Can by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
All covers by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
Havah’s story continues in this third and final book of the trilogy and did not disappoint. We call it Havah’s story but…
Sigh… I tried to read as slowly as possible and yet couldn’t help but gobble up the pages. Havah’s story continues in this third and final book of the trilogy and did not disappoint. We call it Havah’s story but there are so many people involved in her life in various ways that it becomes an ensemble cast, really. Not all is roses still for these immigrants but as each challenge in met, they get closer and closer to living the American Dream.
Some bits and pieces from the first two books come back to complete the puzzle, so to speak, in the third. I laughed, I cried, was shocked and danced with glee.
Highly recommend this book, but please, please, do read the first and second. They are family and should not be separated!

Argus Publishing takes on the Kate Dawson series by Dr. John L. Flynn, starting with Architects of Armageddon!!
Architects of Armageddon
Someone is hell-bent on world destruction…
Inspector Kate Dawson is called to investigate a mass murder; a call that will change her life, and possibly the whole world—forever.
Certain parents have been directed to put their children to death. They believe they are the Chosen Ones, destined by God to inherit the Earth. The charismatic leader of End Times Ministries, whose grand plan includes stoking the fires of Armageddon, has ordered parishioners to close ranks and prepare for a holy war.
Murder on Air Force One
When Inspector Kate Dawson is called in the wee hours of the morning, little did she know what would be waiting for her on the tarmac of San Francisco International Airport. Air Force One has landed with a corpse in the lavatory—Mrs. President and the First Man were on board with a slew of reporters and other presidential personnel. It seems someone enjoyed kinky foreplay, like having their oxygen supply limited, a gasper. It just went too far…or did someone finish her off? International politics, conspiracies, affairs, cover-ups, and all involving the First Family…
Terror at G-20
From what begins as the simple murder of a sex worker, Kate Dawson follows the clues to human trafficking and ultimately the Asian sex trade. Then, set against the back-drop of the G-20 Summit in San Francisco, Dawson struggles to stop a North Korean General’s master plan of bringing about economic chaos in the West by preventing five Asian women, each implanted with a deadly toxin, from destroying the world’s leaders and economists.
