The Sister's Curse
by Nicola Solvinic

The Sister's Curse (7/16/2025)

Well, this author kept the reader guessing throughout the entire book. It is interesting to note that a religious sect played a role in the story as well past crimes. There was a supernatural tone throughout that made the reader question existence of evil or something else.

Too Old for This
by Samantha Downing

Too Old for This (4/13/2025)

The book demanded the reader to have an open mind. It appeared to have two themes - murder and old age trials. This reader couldn't justify the continuous murder of people the main character didn't like. I know we sometimes might think we might kill someone because of …more

Making Friends Can Be Murder
by Kathleen West

Interesting Title - What Does It Mean ...(Making Friends Can Be Murder) (2/26/2025)

I wasn't sure about what this book was about. Was it about moving to a new location and finding it difficult to make friends? I found the answer. It was about making new friends and much, much more. The author drew this reader into the situations that were a bit surprising …more

One Death at a Time
by Abbi Waxman

Great Book...keeps you guessing! (12/26/2024)

This book kept this reader riveted to reading the next page. Characters were believable, well-developed and likeable. One wanted both Mason and Julia to eventually become friends and allies. This was a "who-done-it" that kept the reader wondering about who was actually …more

Harlem Rhapsody
by Victoria Christopher Murray

Harlem Rhapsody (9/6/2024)

Reading this book, reminded me of race relations in the 1920's and role women played. Women were capable, often overlooked, under-appreciated as shown in this story of Jesse and her work/dedication to W. E. B. DuBois. In Jesse's case she wanted love and a career while both …more

The Waters: A Novel
by Bonnie Jo Campbell

The Waters (12/19/2023)

What a great book! The author's descriptions of The Waters location and nearby village "Whiteheart" were so good you could almost picture yourself there - visiting Rose Cottage and Boneset Table. The complex family dynamics were powerful yet it was apparent all three …more

The Continental Affair: A Novel
by Christine Mangan

Does Crime Pay Really (8/4/2023)

The author has created a book with interrelated chapters involving two main characters (Henri and Louise) with different chronological reverences - dates, personal issues and settings. It involves a monetary crime committed by Louise and Henri trying to get the money …more

The Montevideo Brief: A Thomas Grey Novel
by J. H. Gelernter

Interesting But Not My Kind of Book (4/4/2023)

The Montevideo Brief would not be one I would recommend for my book club which consists of ladies interested in current issues. To be fair to the author, descriptions of various adventures of Thomas Grey were colorful and held this reader's attention. Readers who are into …more
