Another great book in the Women's Murder Club series. There were three different crimes being investigated, as well as the personal stories of some of the characters. The plot lines were all interesting, and I can't wait to get into the next book in the series.

I enjoyed this book much more than "gods in Alabama." The characters were more likeable, although they were still very quirky and eccentric as in "gods." I was able to get into the story very quickly and the pace picked up some as the book went on. There is no link between the two books, so if I was choosing one of Jackson's books over the other, I would definitely pick "Between, Georgia."

This was my favorite of the "Irene Kelly" series books. I have read them all, and they usually refer back to previous events in Irene's life so it helps to read them in order. This one in particular should be read in order, since a lot of what happens is about Conn O'Connor, Irene's friend and mentor, and Conn's sister Maureen's disappearance. The story line was pretty intense with lots of characters and taking place in three different time periods. At times it was hard to remember who was who, but it had an excellent storyline. A "must read" for any Irene Kelly/Jan Burke fans!

If you love the movie, The Sound of Music, this book will delight you. Charmian Carr shares many exclusive memories from the making of the movie and the years after that you will probably never hear anywhere else. At times the book seems disjointed, with stories of her mother's childhood and life thrown in and along with other random stories, but all in all it was interesting. There are a few dull spots but it is a quick read (less than 2 days!) with lots of pictures.

A great book! An exciting plot that kept me guessing until the end.

I loved this book! It's full of Scottish history, and the characters are believeable. The love story is good, and is full of enough adventure that I didn't want to put the book down. I went right into the sequel "The Destiny."

This is another excellent book by Kathleen Givens. The story takes place in 1254, in Scotland. Margaret MacDonald has been betrothed to Lachlan Ross since she was a child, and her wedding is in less than a month. Norsemen from islands north of Scotland are attacking the coastal villages, and Margaret's village is attacked while she is away. Without giving away the story, the book is about these attacks and a love story involving Margaret. Givens' books are always full of historical references to how the people lived at certain time periods. It is well-written and I could hardly put it down!

This was a great read from start to finish! The characters were totally believeable, and the plot took lots of twists and turns. It kept me guessing right up until the very end. One of my favorites so far by Sandra Brown.

I started reading this book with great anticipation--the summary sounded really interesting. Early on, I started feeling disappointed. I'm not sure if it was the writer's style or the contrived plot but I seriously considered several times not plowing through the entire 536 pages! The story is about a teenaged boy who, when hypnotized, takes on the persona and voice of a murderer who died 50 yrs. ago. There are so many shady characters following other characters that sometimes it was hard to keep everyone straight! One character in particular seems to change from shady to good guy right in the middle of the book. I must say that it was intriguing enough to keep me reading to the end just to see how it was going to turn out.

This book was so good, I couldn't put it down. You definitely need to read the 1st book (Kilgannon) before you read this one. Wild Rose is the continuation of the love story between Mary and Alex. She is an Englishwoman married to a Scottish laird in the early 1700s. Alex joins an uprising against the English, which causes him to be captured when the English win. This book is about Mary and the clan's efforts to get Alex freed. Full of Scots/English history, and of course, Mary and Alex's love story. An excellent read!

This book was good but not one of my favorites of Elizabeth Lowell. It took me a long time to get into the story, and the plot. I guess the subject matter--concerning Mexican drug cartels--was not that interesting to me. I liked the characters and wish there was more about them and not so much delving into the Mexican crime scene.
