Suspenseful until the end - pretty good variety of characters and good interplay of mystery with life happenings

Excellent. Interesting twists and turns as most of Baldacci's books are. Love the characters, all a bit quirky.

Great read. The book contains two of my favorite themes: archeology of the past and technology of the future.

Though this book is different from Ms. Albert's "Herb/Spices" series, I really liked it for its capture of the time (depression) and place (deep south) portrayals and descriptions. It reminded me a bit of "Steel Magnolias," with the interplay of the characters. I would highly recommend the book.

OK for a read for fun. Not very deep or challenging, but rated G

Though a bit heavy on the "tea descriptions," it was an OK read. I will try book #2 and see if the story line deepens a bit more or characters develop more fully. Otherwise, these may just be "fluff" readings.

The rating on the book would have been higher, because it was a good book. However, the climax of the book was missing (about 50 pages) which were replaced by same number of pages from another Berenson book - UPSIDE DOWN. So I will not repost the book.

The series of Antique Lover's books has been very enjoyable to read. However, this last one, The Majolica Murders, falls into the category of authors' books that have been written quickly because of the pressure for another book from readers and publishers. There is not quite as much thought put into the plot. But I did enjoy that the wife is finding some healing.

Found it a bit harder to "get into" than most of Baldacci's other books, but it was worth reading.

Was OK and worth reading as part of the trilogy.

This was a good read, but not one of my favorites of Albert's. She used an interesting technique of intertwining the historical story with the modern day one, but none of the characters had much depth. It did offere information on Shakers that I never knew.

This book, though hard to read in the emotional sense, filled in the details missing from the history lessons given in school. Egan's use of diaries and other written words from those who suffered through this time lends veracity to the horror stories of the newspapers and politics of the past and the present. Those who suffered through the depression and Dust Bowl were certainly of hardier stock than most of us.
The book is well written, as was my first Egan book, "The Big Burn," and is a good reminder to all of us of our past history in the United States of America.
