This is one of the most famous mysteries of all time. I have to admit I knew most of the story but was surprised by the reveal. I knew the red Herring meant something but it is ironic that the reveal was so revolutionary then and has become borderline cliche now. I can see why it is the standard all modern mysteries are compared to

Very good book. Fast read, kept me interested. Great historical fiction novel.

This is the 3rd book in the Molly the Maid series. It focuses mostly on her gran's story using a diary. And the mystery of the Fabergé egg. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first one. I listened to the audio version.

This was a wonderful book. Una Kelly is a young woman in 1883 New York who is a grifter and thief. She is arrested for murder which she has not committed. Somehow she manages to escape the jail, and decides to enter a nursing program begun by Florence Nightingale at Bellevue. She doesn't want to be a nurse, just needs to hide from the police.

Well written book that starts on Long Island. The back story explores the ravages of the Vietnam Nam war, Vietnamese Refugees, and humanity. For those who lived through the turmoil of the Vietnam Nam war, it will bring memories flooding back. Another ‘Cannot put down’ book. There are many lessons embedded for Millenials, Gens X, Y, Z.

5 stars are not enough for the latest novel by master story teller Stephen King. Holly is back, Barbara is back and Jerome is back but you don't need to know who the are, but if you are a King fan you do. Be prepared to NOT want to stop reading Never Flinch with plot twists and don't try to figure it out. Great way to start my Summer Reading

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.

This book was just what I needed for a summer read, light and breezy. Twin Olive announces to her very close family that she and her fiancé are going to elope in Hawaii so not to remind her sister, Amelia, of her failed marriage. The family plans to surprise the couple in Hawaii with a full blown wedding. Ami and her cousin Diego set off early to start the preparations. Ami is forced to plan the wedding with charismatic best man Brody and eventually they like each other. Was this whole elopement a ruse to get Ami out of her rut. Read and find out. I also recommend the audiobook, it is read with multiple actors and sound effects.

A beautifully written historical novel by one of my favorite authors. Eliza Rivers, 88 years old, tells the story of her childhood growing up on Mayfield, her family's estate/farm to her grand-niece and granddaughter. She wants them both to understand how important it is to her to conserve the land and hopes they will join her in her fight. It is a very emotional story of family, young love, friendship, and betrayal.

This novella is from Warner’s point of view after the events of the first book: Shatter Me. I gave this book three stars not because I don’t like it but because there wasn’t anything crazy out of the ordinary about it and I think that had to do with the fact that I read the first three books and then came back to read this novella. I feel like it also got repetitive at times. I really enjoyed it in the sense that we get to see Warner’s feelings after he portrays himself as a tough bad guy in the first book. I think if you really want an element of newness, you should read it directly after the first book when we don’t know so much about Warner from the next books already. However, even though I read it after the first three books, I still enjoyed back tracking and getting to experience the events from the end of Shatter Me and beginning of Unravel Me and everything in between from Warner’s perspective. We also get to see bits from Juliette’s journal that is spoken about in Shatter Me and of course Mafi’s writing and use of similes and metaphors are excellent. It makes you feel the character’s pain.
