An excellent book to read to understand the perspective of the people who actually had to live through the dictatorship of Adolph Hitler. It is starkly honest and not always pleasant. This should be read in all English classes so our children know the reality of Hitler's Germany.

A wonderful summer read. If I hadn't moved to the country already I'd be packing. This author has captured the heart of country living. Sharing her personal experience as she watched the seasons change, the many hardships she experienced and overcame. The numerous joys she experienced by watching the daily antics of wildlife and interacting with neighbors suited her life-style. Acquiring new skills to replace a pump-house, remodel her barn and cabin made me cheer for her. I enjoyed the little known facts about raising bees and harvesting their honey. By including her experience of marketing in a competitive world she reminded me of the fast-paced world she had left behind. Takes one back to our roots of self-sufficiency. Excellent read.

I've never met a J.A.Jance book I haven't liked and she doesn't disappoint with 'Deadly Stakes'. If you have read all of J.A.Jance's books you reminisce along with Beau as he looks back at cases he didn't solve early in his career. You, too will remember a lot of the people and places he is visits again in order to put the case to rest. If it's your first read the book will grab your undivided attention immediately. Always captivating, never boring, suspense to the end. A recommended read for any time of the year.
