As usual James Patterson hits a home run. This, for me, is the the best of the Women's Murder Club. It was gripping from the first page.

Like most other reviewers I enjoy the book waiting for a climatic climax but there was none. Too many unanswered questions. John Grisham is better than this.

Absolutely wonderful! After I read it my daughter read it in less than 24 hours. It's a real page turner and written with such conviction. Can't wait for the next one in the series.

Fast paced mystery that I couldn't put down until it was finished. I'm looking forward to more from these authors.

I simply love this book. I picked this up to read and couldn't put it down. I finished it in 2 settings and when I got to the final chapters I just didn't want it to end. If you want a light, funny chick book this is the one for you, perfect for a quick read. I can't want for Ms Dolan's next book.

I had this on my wish list for a VERY long time and finally gave up and bought it at full price, $26.95. What a disappointment!!! This is simply a re-hash of Henry VIII and his wives. I am amazed that at its title since there was so little of âJaneâ in the book. There is so little known about The Lady Rochford and from the title I was sure that we could finally get âthe truthâ. The only thing I could see that Ms. Fox gave us was the Jane was born, she did marry George Boleyn, she served five of Henry's queens and then she was beheaded; what of that didn't we already know?
This is the book for you if you would enjoy suppositions like "Jane was almost certainly an honored guest", " a few moments' reflection would have revealed to Jane", "Jane may even have helped Anne fasten (glittering stones) around her neck", "Perhaps Jane had witnessed", "Almost certainly, Jane was at her sister-in-law's side", "Jane was probably lodged", "It is most likely that Jane", "Perhaps Jane was wearing her favorite stocking", "That Jane was (a witness to Henry and Anne's wedding) is remotely possible but speculative", "Jane probably did not travel", ⦠and on and on and on!!!!
Perhaps if Ms Fox would have written a book of fiction based on Tudor history it would have been more enjoyable but if you love Tudor history, save your PBS point or your money.

I have just finished The King's Grace. As always with Anne's books I am in awe. I just didn't want it to end. The detail of the travels and various scenes in the book made me feel as though I was there with Grace. The happiness and the sorrow I felt with joy and tears. I love Anne's books and will wait anxiously for the next book.

This was very difficult for me to read. The writer includes liberal (and annoying) doses of French and Occitan words. There is a glossary at the back of the novel, so you find yourself constantly interrupting your reading (sometimes several times a page) to flick to the glossary. I got about 1/3 of the way through and stopped. Just couldn't take anymore. I say don't waste your time.

In my opinion this may be the worse book I've ever tried to read.

Not quite what I expected but still VERY enjoyable and I'm hooked. I love Yelena, the strong woman with powers she can't yet control and Valek, her nemesis???? Maybe not! Her savior, who knows? I have read the next 2, Magic Study and Fire Study and waiting patiently (?} for the next in the series. Until then, I'm excited about Storm Glass which will be out April 28 with, hopefully, a lot of my favorite characters from Study series.

In this day and age what would we believe if a young virgin became pregnant? It would be unbelievable to most all of us. In this day and age what would we believe if a sever injury was sudden healed? Not one miracle but several? How would our world handle such happenings? The Christian community wanting to take over, the US government wants to take over and the Medical community is fighting to take over. But what about the whole world gathering to with the sick and lame to receive a miracle and the young virgin that finds herself with child? Who would believe her and the dreams shes been having and her protector. All of these questions are answered in this first novel by Ms. Jaeger in a fast pace page turner. I couldnt put it down and I look forward to her second novel. A great read!

With all the hoopla about this book I was expecting a great read. Unfortunately that didn't happen. The storyline was predictable and you don't realize the book is finished until you turn the page and see the author's notes. I'm sorry I did finish (?) it, if that's what you call this ending. About a third of the way through I did have to force myself to keep reading.
I have read several books on the subject and much preferred âGreen Darknessâ by Anya Seton.

This is a rare novel, almost hypnotic in its unyielding suspense, which builds to a climax of classic terror. You will not forget the town of Salem's Lot nor any of the people who used to live there.
This hardback is a book club edition and the jacket is not in the best of shape but the inside of the book is in good shape with no missing pages or stains.

If you want a book on the life of King Richard III this is it! Such wonderful descriptions of the era, I felt as if I was there experiencing each and every event. Sharon Kay Penman has always been one of my very favorite authors and she did not let me down on this one. If you like historical history and want to know more of Richard III this is the book for you. I would recommend anything by this author.

Very disappointed in this book. In fact, I didn't finish it. It is no way near the Poison Series.

This book is spell binding. I couldn't put it down, I read the complete book in one setting.
