About the Author

The immensely popular Booktown Mystery series is what put Lorraine Bartlett's pen name Lorna Barrett on the New York Times Bestseller list, but it's her talent -- whether writing as Lorna, or L.L. Bartlett, or Lorraine Bartlett -- that keeps her there. This multi-published, Agatha-nominated author pens the exciting Jeff Resnick Mysteries as well as the acclaimed Victoria Square Mystery series, and now the Tales of Telenia fantasy saga, and has many short stories and novellas to her name(s).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lesson in Humanity
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2011
Verified Purchase
I adore the Jeff Resnick series by L.L. Bartlett and 'Bah! Humbug' is a great continuation. There have only been a few famous authors that are able to write fabulous serials fit for a newspaper or magazine or, even a television series. We have Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with Sherlock Holmes, Armistead Maupin with Tales of the City, and Alexander McCall Smith, with the 44 Scotland Street series. Ms. Bartlett figures well among them.

Jeff Resnick is a man who was mugged and left with a brain injury. While he slowly heals living at home with his brother, Jeff discovers he has a type of precognition. Throughout the series we learn he is able to solve crimes with his 'visions.'

In this Kindle edition which takes us from the novels (full-length movie) to a serial, Jeff goes with his lovely lady friend, Maggie to her family home to celebrate Christmas. Jeff senses non-acceptance shortly into the drive, but he loves Maggie and will put up with almost anything to please her.

This novella is about acceptance of fellow humans. It is set against the Holiday Season of Christmas which as many know is a time of stress as well as joy. When a crisis occurs we are shown a side of humanity that perhaps we would like to ignore.

I look forward to seeing where Jeff goes next.

This was good for as short as it was. I would've liked to know more. Jeff"s history was only hinted at, the reason for Maggie's family's behavior wasn't fully explained.

I enjoyed the Jeff Resnick series so much, I've read just about the whole series. This author writes with a wonderful flow and her characters come alive rapidly. She succeeds in making us care about them and the pages turning at a fast pace. I would definitely encourage avid readers to give this author a try. You won't regret it.

1.0 out of 5 stars ONE CHAPTER IS NOT A SHORT STORY!
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2013
Verified Purchase
What a rip off! This was advertised as a short story, but seven pages is not a story! What I received was the teaser chapter found at the end of a book to get you to buy the next book in the series. Really! It was just a chapter! My e-book said there were 337 pages, but it would only let me go through the first chapter (7 pages) then said I'd read all 337 pages. I'm very unhappy with this set-up. It did tie in that something happened with Maggie's family, but not enough information to make it worth while - like I said, just one chapter! A teaser, not worth buying.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a story. More like a chapter.
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
I bought this thinking it was another book, but it is more like a description of a scene. It describes the main character's reception at his girlfriend's family's gathering and that's about it. It builds tension but doesn't do anything with it.

Shame on the author for touting this as a short story. Shame on the author, also, for hiding the fact beneath a wall of text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent Jeff Resnick read!
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2013

There seems to be a lot of mixed reviews on this short story. So, for those interested in this title - it is a short story - not a book. I think 17 pages is pretty generous for a short story, in my opinion. If you haven't read the Jeff Resnick series, you might want to read one just to get the flavor of the series. Jeff Resnick is almost psychic. He doesn't like to call himself that. But, he does feel things, and get premonitions. This short story has both a premonition and another look at his life. It's kind of like a little read between the books. It's like bonus material for 99 cents - not a bad price for a short story by a great author. "Bah! Humbug" was an enjoyable read, giving another glimpse of Jeff and his girlfriend Maggie's family.

After reading Murder on the Mind I quickly jumped on line to purchase more books by LL Bartlett. I bought Bah! Humbug and Cold Case only to find they were less than 20 pages long!!! Very disappointed!!!

what a great guy this character seems to be! struggling after the mugging, the alcohol probems, and his bitterness about the way his childhood was messed up by his parents' mistakes tends to give all us a little hope about how maybe we have to just "roll with the flow" with whatever life throws our way. keep up the good work, L.L.Bartlett! thank you

Plot not up to his usual standard, and being a short story doesn't give the reader enough to get to grips with in the short time it takes to read it. Glad it was a "freebie" or I would have called it waste of money,

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2013

It was a though I had read the first chapter, NOT THE WHOLE STORY. Now not sure if I paid for a taster of the book.
I really had no concept of what the author was trying to say where this story was concerned. Perhaps she wrote the notes down for a story years ago, found it again and thought it was a finished article without reading it. Very disappointed in her, pity.
