Rebecca is not a quiet sleuth by any means and her (big) mouth combined with her combative attitude keeps things hopping in Grand Lake, Ohio.

I liked the glimpse into celebrity life. The message was clear: it ain’t all it appears from this side of the screen/media machine. A cautionary tale I liked the glimpse into celebrity life. The message was clear: it ain’t all it appears from this side of the screen/media machine. A cautionary tale. A bit too repetitive and “overdone” for my reading taste .. and I felt like it was aimed at a reader in their 20’s which I am way beyond....more

Really a 3.5 but the faith element was handled better than in most of these LIS books. The standard of guy movies plot where something explosive happ Really a 3.5 but the faith element was handled better than in most of these LIS books. The standard of guy movies plot where something explosive happens frequently is here and I do not like it. The book is short enough without this clutter. Women are main readers here so why is this “guy appeal” so mandated? Suspense does not require a hail of bullets, arson and car crashes. Had to get that rant out. The setup and characters are good but there needs to be more depth. I fear there is no room for it in the prescribed LIS rules....more

I enjoyed the unpredictable journey. Adella was by far my favorite character as she had me laughing throughout. July 2019 book club pick by CG. Setting: San Francisco,CA at start but mainly New Orleans,LA. Most baffling character was Jillian the protagonist. This is a great story about growing up, family and finding your roots. There is mystery, suspense, drama and a touch of sweet romance. Buckle up for a great reading “ride” ;) (This was a quick read for me as I was intrigued throughout the story.) This is not a five star because it is a perfect novel, but it delivers a captivating, unique tale with lots of surprises. [Read free ebook preview on 8th. Got the book on the 20th.]...more

Setting: Rural PA and Philadelphia What a great book ! It sucked me in and I loved (most) of the story. The Amish plain culture and the English are very well presented here. Caleb and Reese .. they had so many challenges to cope with .. as did 11 year old Jonah and his teenage sister Hannah. The Clydesdale horses part was very interesting for me too. It lost one star in my review for Reese’s taking God’s name in vain and mutual choice of fornication. ...more
