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.

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.

I loved this book! The science behind the neuroparacites and the black rocks was interesting and made sense. I also liked how the relationship between the characters developed and evolved. I just wish the MFC could focus a little more on the plot rather than THIRSTING OVER HER PROFESSOR!!!!
The Summer We Ran

book cover


This is the story of a woman and her ex-lover who wind up running for governor at the same time. It’s wonderfully done, mixing the story with present day natation and that of the past. It also tells the story from both protagonists’ point of view. And there is so much more to this story than first appears, and even when you think you have the whole story a whole other layer appears. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

The Kingmaker's Daughter

book cover


This book follows the 2 daughters of the man who was responsible for people seated on the throne of England in the 1400's. It follows the 2 girls through their lives and does a beautiful job of following their changing view of the position of Queen from their childhood until their death. It is a wonderful, albeit at times a grim, look at the life of powerful women during that time period.

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.
