Reviews by Julie

The Ghost at the Table
by Suzanne Berne

An eternal subject written well (12/9/2014)

Since the beginning of Adam and Eve a family is the core of most stories. This one may not go down in history, but it is a very good read.

The Purity of Vengeance: A Department Q Novel
by Jussi Adler-Olsen

Didn't see it coming (12/1/2014)

This is another great read from my favorite series. The ending had a big surprise --- and all the skilled writing that lead up to it --- never made me suspect the twist.

A Conspiracy of Faith: Department Q
by Jussi Adler-Olsen

Great read (10/15/2014)

The plot is strong, the characters are interesting and vary from the quirky to the despicable. I will read every book this man writes.

Oscar Wilde and a Death of No Importance
by Gyles Brandreth

Wilde Times (8/7/2014)

This is a great series -- very authentic with real characters and a skilled and perceptive author.
