Carolyn L. (Summerville, SC)

The Sun Down Motel
I found this book to be mildly entertaining, but not unputdownable. I became frustrated at times with certain characters actions (or inactions), and I really questioned some of the legal ramifications near the end of the story (It's hard to be specific without giving a spoiler.) Cannot heartily endorse this one, but it isn't terrible.
Vicki C. (Franklin, TN)

The Sun Down Motel
The Sun Down Motel was an interesting and easy read as well as being entertaining. There is a strong supernatural current that runs through the book and is, in fact, necessary given the literary device used by St. James. She writes the book from the perspective of two women, related to one another, but separated by about thirty odd years. The main characters are interesting if a little bit expected. I would recommend this book as a light read when you don't want to have to really concentrate to follow the story but still want to be entertained.
