This was a mystery. A missing British woman Monica Felder fails to show up in France for a cooking class. Chief of Police, Bruno discovers she was accompanied by an Irish man and now both are found dead. She has been stabbed, and it looks like he has hung himself. This seemed very interesting. However, there were so many characters, some British, some French and some American that I had a difficult time keeping them straight. In addition since it took place in France, there were quite a few French phrases, which was frustrating since I don't speak the language.

Steam of consciousness thoughts of one of Germany's great 20th-century poets. Brugge is Rilke's alter-ego, living in poverty in Paris. The "Notebook" consists of his thoughts on poverty, downtrodden people, his background, the art of story telling, love, and God. Many strange adjective + noun combinations.

This is the first Sherlock Holmes novel. I found it very engaging. There is a strange shift towards the end from a story telling perspective, but like anything you would expect from the world’s greatest detective, everything connects and comes together in the end. I may look into reading more Sherlock Holmes stories.

If you enjoyed reading The Bookwoman of Troublesome Creek and/or The Bookwoman’s Daughter, you will want to read this book. What happened to Cussy and her family? I could not put this book down. Historical Fiction is interwoven into the plot by an author from Kentucky who knows the journey.

A family on a remote island finds a mysterious woman who washes ashore during a storm.

A great murder mystery in which we know who the serial killer is, but wonder at who will stop him and how. Without revealing too much, there is actually another murderer (or two) also. Filled with surprises. This book will definitely keep the reader reading!

I really loved the concept of this book. I enjoyed hearing all of the different stories and perspectives. My largest disappointment is the supernatural elements that were completely unnecessary. I am curious if it could have worked without it all. I think it would. The author really wrote some detailed descriptions that were impressive. There were a number of reveals, some surprising, but all enjoyable.

You know how with some books you are so engrossed in them that don't want to put them down -- well for me this was not one of them. I found this story, despite all the glowing reviews, just okay and a bit of a slog. Perhaps my expectations were just too high for this story of two childhood neighbors and friends and their divergent journeys through their lives.

Lisa Scottoline does it again. Have you read "The Unraveling of Julia"? Well, in this book we hear more from those characters with a new murder. I really enjoyed this one.

I really enjoyed work of fiction/ Romance. It is a great summer read, light and with good , respectable characters. I always enjoy books written about someone in the medical profession. It was nice exploring Billie, Mick’s and Erin’s relationship.
