Since She Went Away
Since She Went Away
by David Bell
didn't live up to my expectations (6/8/2016)
This was my first read by this author, and I'm sorry to say but I didn't find it that good. I am generally a mystery reader, and love it when I can't put the book down. This book was what I would refer to as a lite read..Not edge of the seat reading. Although, I will try …more
The Things We Keep
The Things We Keep
by Sally Hepworth
So young (9/21/2015)
What a good read...My mother was diagnosed with dementia, but she was in her 70's, so I can just imagine the devastation of being diagnosed at such a young age. It also had to be hard being placed in a facility with much older clientele. I often think as I get closer to my …more
What Doesn't Kill Her
What Doesn't Kill Her: A Reeve LeClaire Series Novel
by Carla Norton
very interesting suspense (5/17/2015)
I was drawn in to this story from the first page. I read quite a few thrillers and found this to be an interesting one, with which I will pass on to my friends. I also feel that it would make an interesting book club read..The only problem I found hard to accept was when …more
Between the Tides
Between the Tides
by Susannah Marren
Surprise ending (3/30/2015)
This book was what one would call a light read; I read it on a Sunday afternoon. The main plot deals with the trials one family goes through when the husband accepts a job opportunity in another state. The surprise of the entire book is the ending . . . Never expected it.
The Secrets of Midwives
The Secrets of Midwives
by Sally Hepworth
Definitely a women's story (12/19/2014)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It probably would be a very good candidate for a book club. It could lead to some very interesting discussions and varied opinions. Love, courage and persistence made for a very good story line.
Mercy Train
Mercy Train: A Novel
by Rae Meadows
very enlighting (5/15/2012)
I received my complementary copy about a week ago and immediately started reading..I very much enjoyed this book.,I didn't realize that these trains actually existed...It makes you stop and think about these poor orphans, and the life they led. I understand this project was …more
This Burns My Heart
This Burns My Heart: A Novel
by Samuel Park
what a story (4/5/2012)
It's a fabulous story...the main character thinks she can choose the right person for marriage, in order to gain her own personal goals. She finds that she not only made the wrong choice, but also gave up her true love in the bargain. The author also gives a very good …more
The Most Dangerous Thing
The Most Dangerous Thing
by Laura Lippman
the most dangerous thing (8/6/2011)
After having many friends suggest this author, I was pleased to be chosen to review her new book. I very much enjoyed her writing. The characters reminded me somewhat of my own teenage years, the things we did, the secrets that we kept. I feel that it would make great book …more
