A very well written book. As a recent emigrant out of India, I long to feel the Indian air around me. This book did just that! Took me back into those slim and slender streets, the overly dense colonies, and the ever warm civilizations. Furthermore to the trip back home, it also helped me explore some major European cities via its text explanations... The narrative is very gripping and engaging. Sonaz story and the way her feelings and thoughts have been expressed are not just true like but equally captivating. A lot of effort and research has been put into this book. Such great character building and lovely scene setting in the beginning and the novel reaches a NECT level when it turns from just fiction to mystery... Loved every bit of it...

Still Life by Louise Penny Really appreciated this sophisticated Mystery. Well written, well thought out, exciting, and engrossing. A different type of Mystery then many of the popular fiction I have read. Intricate plot planning, good character development, multi-dimensional characters, and a good mystery as well. I was very involved in trying to solve it. Also loved Armand Gamache, an introspective, honorable, diligent detective, interested in the people as well as the crime. I delighted in his manner of investigation, his desire to listen, to learn, to admit when he is stuck. Jane is dead, and many are suspected. As it is with small towns, everyone knows everyone and there are secretes, but there is also a marvelous feeling of community. The town itself becomes a character. A “Who done it”, of the highest caliber.

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.

In a small town , Three Pines, Canada, an older woman, a spinster named Jane, is shot dead in the woods by a hunting arrow. She had just had her first piece of artwork accepted into the local art show. Art she hadn't shown to anyone before that moment. Is her death related? who would want her dead ? In a small town where everyone knows everyone, someone is lying. Chief Armand Gamache is called on to investigate. Good character development but a little convoluted in spots.

The book is set in the 1980s, a Story of a 19 year old who loves clothing and gets her dream job in I. Magnin in San Francisco. Friendships, relationships, dreams, growing up. A sweet book.

The cast of a horror movie made twenty years ago gets together for a reunion, and a remake of the movie. Ella, the “final girl” in the original movie has disappeared from the acting scene and refused to make a movie or join in a reunion. Something awful happened during the first shooting only the cast members know about. Finally, she has agreed to shoot the film as a way to get back into movie making. What could go wrong? As the filming begins, old wounds surface, and then, people start getting murdered. A fun if not realistic read. I enjoyed trying to guess who the slasher was.

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!

Ok so I'm not a huge space fan, to be honest it scares me but I am a big Taylor Jenkins Reid fan so I had to give this one a go. On the surface, as a reader I thought I was getting a novel about women in NASA's Shuttle Program, but that was only a piece of what this story was about. Pros: I'm going to be honest, I usually don't go for this kind of romance but it worked and I liked both of the main characters. I loved the dual storyline with Barbara and Frances as it added depth to Joan's character and who she was. I also loved the NASA aspect and the nods to history. Cons: I wanted more of the space aspect. The book started off on such a high note but then it dragged in the middle. Thankfully the last quarter of the book really picked up. Overall, I really enjoyed this one!
