This was strange in the best way — atmospheric, a little eerie, and hard to put down. Some parts dragged, but overall it was good.

Another intriguing historical mystery by this author. Haven, a researcher of shipwrecks discovers something called the Amalfi Curse. We learn about it through two timelines , the present and 1820s. I was hooked from the beginning to the end. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed this book taking place in the south, nearing the end of the Civil War. A southern woman, her precocious niece, a freed slave who works for her and a wounded Union soldier leads to an intriguing story.

I really enjoyed this novel. I was inspired to read it after hearing the author speak and read excerpts from her book at EMPL. It is a fast read about why Grace left her family years ago.

An exciting , emotional novel which switches back and forth between 1980 and 1984. It tells the story of Dr. Joan Goodwin, an astronomy professor who is among the first women accepted into NASA's astronaut training program. We follow her through her intense training, as she forms deep friendships with her fellow trainees. Four years later, she is the voice of NASA at mission control in Houston as the unexpected happens involving her friends during a space shuttle mission.

Fiona Davis is my favorite author. I enjoy all her historical fiction novels especially this one because it involves the archaeological digs in Egypt which I find intriguing.

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.

The Frozen River is a historical fiction murder mystery that centers around Martha Ballard ( who actually is a real person, a midwife whose diaries are a rich resource for this novel). A dead person ( villainous) has been discovered in a block of ice and Martha, using her tremendous assets of courage and sense of justice, as she champions women's rights, must discover what happened. Between death, illness, rape, miscarriage and loss of children, these rights were pretty much non existent in 18 th century America.

A member of Three Pines community was found dead and inspector Gamache is called to investigate
