This is a good old fashioned detective story where women were “dames” and were “notin but trouble”. The language is fun and the central character is the grounding influence here as everyone else in the story is either crazy or a killer…..and one is both.

Catherine and Elena deal with intrigue, lies, and as their past catches up with them on a ship to Havana. The twists and turns will keep you engaged along with a few other characters

Found it interesting the comparison between the great grandmother, who had a stroke, and the great grandson, who was artistic and nonverbal how they managed to communicate with each other with the use of an iPad, and how the great grandmothers story from her childhood in Poland during the World War II unfolds

Very short, well written book. Told in the 1st person narrative, British soldier returns to England after WWI, works as an art restorer in a small country village's church. Thought provoking, insightful.

After a man uncovers something sinister at work, he disappears, and then is presumed dead, leaving his girlfriend behind. When she receives a text from him, five years later, she investigates the situation.

The sequel to The Perfect Marriage was very good as well. Should read the first one so you have an idea about what happened before you read the sequel. Good story. Not as twisty and not as good as the first one, but worth the read.

Albom delivers another story of faith as we read about the interconnected stories of people at sea and on land. He shines a light on how we are never alone and how that helps us heal from our deepest hurts.

Interesting premise family with very sick daughter genetically engineered another child to be born with a genetic material to save the first daughter’s life. Who are we to play God and play with biology like this

Excellent book. I almost put it down after a few pages, but I persevered and am glad I did. Very well written, interesting novel. Expats from Jamaica in England whose lives intersect and secrets are unraveled as the book progresses. Twists and turns I did not see coming. Looking forward to the next book by this author.

For those of us who read a lot of mysteries, after a while, you can often see the ending coming. Not in this one! The central character’s alibi appears to be that she is just too dumb to organize and commit this crime. And it turns out what she did do really ends up confusing the police. A good whodunit.
