A Piece of the World: A Novel
by Christina Baker Kline
A Piece of the World (1/5/2017)
I remember the speculation on the relationship between Christina and Andrew Wyeth when the painting was reviewed many years ago. Who would not be curious about this Woman who Andrew painted and the history of where he painted his many works. I found this book flowed with poetic descriptions of Christina's family small town interactions, hope, honesty and history and her daily struggles to not be noticed, but be included in life. She steals your heart, makes you frustrated with her stubbornness and weeping at times for her losses. A good read. You wont forget Christina for a long time.
Lady Cop Makes Trouble: Girl Waits with Gun #2
by Amy Stewart
Lady Cop Makes Trouble (6/7/2016)
Having read Girls Waits With Gun, and having enjoyed Constance Kopp prove her worthiness in law enforcement , I was disappointed in the authors second attempt in Lady Cop Makes Trouble. I found it perhaps a hundred pages too long for the plot and story. Once again Sheriff Heath seems to be the only one who has confidence in her abilities, yet is powerless with the higher authorities to make her the first female deputy, so Constance allows herself to be used as the jail keeper until some agreement, if ever, is reached to make her a member of the police department. I would recommend that the reader acquaint themselves with the character Constance and her family by reading the authors previous novel first or they may be slightly confused on the background story.
