Caroline has been missing for over 25 years. Her three best friends know something, but what is it they know? The three remaining women have led different lives. They all keep a promise to return to their hometown 25 years later, on the anniversary of the disappearance of Caroline, a promise they made to Caroline. While they are there, Carolines high school boyfriend from all those years ago, is found dead. A complicated plot, with some great clues along the way, if you recognize them. I had some idea’s, some proven right, some proven wrong. I enjoyed this intriguing mystery.

book cover


In 1936, a young Charlotte Cross has the chance of a lifetime to explore the ruins of Ancient Egypt at an archaeological dig in Valley of the Kings. She is given opportunities to work alongside archaeologists, excavate artifacts, and do research on an ancient female pharoah, Hathorkare. She falls in love with a fellow archaeologist from London and then tragedy strikes. In 1978, Charlotte Cross is now a curator in the Egyptian wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY. Over the years she has continued to research Hathorkare and come up with a theory of her demise. On the night of the Met Gala, Charlotte's extensive research and an Egyptian artifact are stolen from the museum! Nineteen year old Annie Jenkins, who just began working as an assistant to Diana Vreeland, former Vogue fashion editor and organizer of the Gala, becomes a person of interest in the robbery. Charlotte and Annie team up to clear her name and find the thief and stolen artifact. This leads them to Egypt where the story began. If you like archaeology, ancient history, and this author I think you will like this book. I think it is Fiona Davis' best!

This book was just OK. The first few chapters really drew me in and made me want to read more, but the ending was such a big let down. It moved quickly, but had such a disappointing ending.

Smile For The Cameras

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.

The Wedding People

book cover


Penelope Stone, the main character in Alison Espach's THE WEDDING PEOPLE, is at the end of her rope ....After years of unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant, her husband has divorced her. Her job is going nowhere. She has no family. Her cat has died. What's a person to do? What follows is Phoebe coming to terms with life ...or not. As the book states, the novel is "In turns absurdly funny and and devastatingly tender..." I loved the cast of characters she runs into as she runs for, or from, her life - the bridezilla bride, hopeful groom, hotel staff, and a group of friends and relatives that make up the wedding guests where Phoebe ends up. A very enjoyable read!
