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

Found it interesting her story went back-and-forth between German high school teacher and young Jewish bakery in small town. What was their connection was the high school teacher a Nazi story unfolds

I loved this book! It had a little bit of everything and I recommend it to anyone. Love books about bookstores and books!

In this story about women who go missing and then have their dead images appear in paintings, Isles does an excellent job in developing the characters and their connections to one another. And this is important because the subject matter here is often harsh and without this development of characters, it would simply be a brutal story. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and liked the ending.

Enjoyed this book. Rock and Roll combined with sibling fighting and competition. The end was satisfying.

Sona learns to accept herself, a woman of two cultures, by befriending a famous painter. Sona honors her friend's final wishes, traveling the world. Sona makes peace with herself, her past and the new life she creates as she moves forward.

Some fascinating accounts of a con artist. I would have loved a little more psychological insight into how someone can pull off such an act like this person did. Accounts of his earlier life are painfully missing. But there are some details about the person's life that really are quite amazing that the author could have put all this research together.

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.

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.

This is the second time I read this book and I enjoyed it just as much the second time, picking up parts of the story more intensely this time. This is a perfect story of 2 generations who are in need of each other and who come together in the best way possible. While each of the 3 central living characters (and I have to include living as one character who feature prominently is deceased) has their challenges, they come together to help one another perfectly, even if for some the motivation may be selfish. This is a story that will touch your heart.
