How the Light Gets In: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel, #9
by Louise Penny
Louise Penny at her best! (7/1/2013)
I usually gauge my reading in days. For Penny's "How the Light Gets In"---it was hours! I am a long time fan of this author (which doesn't mean I haven't disagreed with her in the past). The characters and plot of this story are as intricate, mesmerizing and complex as ever;more

by Deborah Crombie
a student's choice---to row---defines a life (12/21/2011)
Deborah Crombie's 14th book in the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James series is an absorbing, intelligent mystery that can stand alone. However, I particularly like the evolving characters Crombie has created in this chain of stories and really look forward to each novel. Themore
