With NOBODY'S FOOL, Harlan Cohen has once again written a marvelous, witty, thoughtful mystery filled with many twists and turns. Sami Kierce, a disgraced former New York City cop, has picked up the pieces of his life and is now moving on with his loving wife and new baby. Suddenly he is confronted by his post college past from two decades ago. A past that featured a dead body - or did it? The truth unfolds page by wonder ful page. I loved it!

My first impression as I started Murder Takes a Vacation by Laura Lippman was this is a farce and I am being fooled. It was light silly reading. While I was never quite sure of the ending, I found it contrived. I found the novel not intriguing. Since I didn't have anything else to read, I figured might as well read Murder Takes A Vacation to the end.

A couple of college kids find each other through their love of music. They plan to go to Nashville after graduation to pursue their music careers together, but life gets in the way and only one of them goes. Their paths cross again later in life, and this is the story of how their journey continues. Loved this book. I highly recommend it. I hated for it to end.

I was really impressed. I never got to read this book in high school, and I am glad I got to it now. It was a little disjointed, but I realized that is what made it work. It was half story, half memoir, and it made it very interesting and feel authentic. I still do not understand the point of the time travel and alien encounters, but I liked the book overall and am curious to read more of his work.

Normally not my type of reading interest and the intimate scene was a little too explicit.

I did not particularly like the book. Terry was weak and allowed herself to be taken advantage of. even Chris abused her I understand she allowed it in order to get her son back. she gave up Gabe because she was not able to raise him. I haven't read the earlier books so not sure how Chris and Terry came to know decker and Rina but thank god for them still I'm sorry the Terry was killed and Chris took the easy way out and committed suicide leaving Gabe without a father as if it wasn't bad enough he lost his mother

Loved this book. Great story line. So many twists and turns and surprises!!! Told from a male point of view which is a first for this author.

A crazy comedy. Jane wrote a book about terrorists blowing up a teahouse and now it's become a reality. Jane and Dan are at a restaurants that is taken over by masked people and it seems that they are following the events in her book.

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.

Another book in the Shana Merchant series. Another good one!
