Hotel Cuba
Hotel Cuba: A Novel
by Aaron Hamburger
It can be a nightmare getting to the American Dream! (4/28/2023)
I loved this book. It is the real deal. Beautifully written, enthralling, entertaining and educational. The sisters' travel in the bowels of the SS Hudson from the Old World to the New was not for the feint hearted. The portrayal of the Cuban Havana scene in the early 1900' …more
Last House Before the Mountain
Last House Before the Mountain
by Monika Helfer
Austrian family saga (3/8/2023)
I have to say I enjoyed this book. I could relate to the story in that I had a German grandmother named Maria, whose husband was sent off to WWI. So as granddaughter of my oma Maria, I could put the story into a personal perspective. I guess I could have been in the …more
Stealing
Stealing: A Novel
by Margaret Verble
One of the Best of 30 Books read in 2022 (12/28/2022)
This is easily one of the best books I have read all year. Spoken in the voice of an 11 year old girl, it is so real and readable. It deals with a half American Indian girl who gets involved in a tragic crime and winds up in one of the terrible homes that were meant to " …more
True Crime Story
True Crime Story: A Novel
by Joseph Knox
What did happen to Zoe? (12/17/2021)
True Crime Story is a novel that doesn't feel like a novel.
It feels like being a party to an investigation.
A failing writer becomes interested in a seven year old
cold case of missing co-ed Zoe, who happens to be a twin. The story unfolds via interviews with the victims …more
He Started It
He Started It
by Samantha Downing
Wildest ride! (2/17/2020)
Just finished He Started It. "A wild ride" has become a cliché in describing this genre, but this truly was the "wildest" ride yet. Dysfunctional family, again an understatement. I would say a truly despicable cast of characters, each person deserving their ultimate fate. …more
Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever
by Joshilyn Jackson
Just didn't like it (5/1/2019)
I am a big fan of these new psychological thrillers, but this one just didn't cut it with me. I think it was because I didn't think it was realistic that Amy would let Roux push her around, even though Roux had knowledge of the her big secret. I just didn't care for any of …more
My Lovely Wife
My Lovely Wife
by Samantha Downing
Twisted, disturbing page turner! (11/1/2018)
I read this book in one day. Ok, I admit it was travel day, flying to Italy, so I had plenty of time to read, but this book made me not mind the hours of sitting in airports! It was the only book I brought on the trip and when my husband saw I was getting close to the end …more
Our House
Our House
by Louise Candlish
Louise Candlish delivers psychological suspense with the best! (7/12/2018)
This was one terrific read, albeit a dark one! This story of a seemingly normal family situation that spirals out of control, was an enthralling read, especially from the comfort of my own "normal" existence. There were twists and turns, situations going from bad to worse. …more
Sometimes I Lie
Sometimes I Lie
by Alice Feeney
Sometimes I Lie (11/15/2017)
Holy Cow! What a wild ride. Sometimes I Lie is a terrific read. The plot is like an onion; layer after layer of revelations about the cast of characters. It's complex, twisted and dark. It is very much in the genre of Gone Girl, and Girl on Train, and every bit as good as …more
