I felt this psychological thriller was just average. It was a different type of story taking place on a secluded island for wealthy people. They hire a new doctor for the rich patrons. Him and his wife, Lily move to the island and Lily feels something is not right. Immediately a woman commits suicide. Well, Lily’s intuition is spot on.

I have enjoyed this author’s previous books so I decided to try this one. The musical parts are very interesting, but it goes off on a weird comic book adventure that ruined it for me.

Two things attracted me to this book: an author I enjoy reading and the setting (London neighborhoods). It is set between WWI and WWII. Violet navigates dealing with loss of family and Laurence, her fiancé. Then taking the next step out of her Mother’s house. Her journey brings her to a group who embroider for Westminster chapel. Friendships develop, family changes, crises dealt with all Drew me into posing questions such as ‘What will happen?’ Interesting book to savor on days so hot you need to stay inside.

Murder, prejudice, poverty - all intertwined to create a very enjoyable mystery. One of Krueger’s best.

This was another amazing book by Kristin Harmel. It’s a dual timeline set in the time leading up to WWII and WWII itself in Paris and 2018 in Boston. It explores an intriguing theme of moral ambiguities. What if someone is doing what’s considered immoral but for a good cause? In this book, the main character, Collette’s family is descended from the legendary Robin Hood. They have succeeded in following Robin Hood’s mission from stealing from the rich to give to the poor. At the age of 10, Collette learns the family trade of being a jewel thief. It all seems to go well for her and her mother Annabel until a tragic event that shakes the family to the core during WWII. It was a mission to steal some jewelry back for their Jewish friends who were sent away to the death camp. But, it ends up going horribly wrong and has Collette losing her mother and 4 year old sister, Liliane in one instant. Flash forward to 2018 in Boston and at 89, Collette is still a successful jewel thief, still stealing from evil people with wealth, to benefit the disadvantaged or for a mission to fund a Holocaust education center in Boston. What she didn’t expect was one of the bracelets of the dear friends her family lost in the war on that tragic night to turn up again. The same one her sister had on her person all those years ago when she disappeared. This leads to the mystery of where it came from and the story flashes between two timelines to fill in the gaps of what happened all those years ago. Like many of her other books, this was a quick read. In fact, I finished it in a day. It’s a testament to her engaging characters and compelling storytelling that tugs at your heartstrings. I highly recommend this book.

If you enjoyed Interview With a Vampire you will like Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. This book is the epic story of three women bound by love and bloodlust. Sabine, Charlotte and Alice unwind their stories and connections to each other covering decades of years both together and apart. Love becomes their undoing. I enjoyed this book and recommend it as a must read.

If you have heard stories about Captain Kidd, this non-fiction book will set you straight. I found it an interesting read.

I really enjoyed reading this mystery/ thriller. It was interesting slowly learning the facts about Savvy’s murder through Ben’s podcast. He interviews several people in Lucy and Saavy’s town to find answers to the Whodunnit. I enjoy Lucy’s character and friendship with Saavy

I enjoyed this thriller. I was not a fan of the main character but I did enjoy the ending which I usually don’t with Thrillers.
