Gives Women A Lot to Think About

Revisado: 07-07-21

I loved it and want every woman to read this book, preferably freshman year in high school before all the issues (hopefully) arise, then again at college or a the start of a working life. The characters were complex and great to relate to. The story's suspense kept me riveted. And I definitely loved the ending. But it leaves me with so much to think about, and with angst for my daughter.

I love Agatha Raisin

Revisado: 02-23-20

Loved a new romantic possibility for Agatha. Will we ever get more info on Charles's engagement or is this the last installment due to MC Beaton's passing? Hopefully there is one more drafted that can carry on the saga.

Lovely story about the complexity of life and love

Revisado: 12-08-19

No black and white for how our lives develop and intertwine with our choices, life events, and relationships. With a story that carefully unravels a story of sisters growing up and family life determined by adults with their own flaws and choices, current day events help heal the broken parts and make a resurrected life if stronger love, compassion and hope. Lovely voices reading the characters of the story.

Love the Mattie Winston series

Revisado: 03-20-19

This is a great mystery series. Mattie is a relatable character. She is smart and caring but has her human weaknesses of carb binging and not opening to love. But the relationship tension between Mattie and Steve got to the point, this book in the series, that it became more compelling than the 2 mysteries. I love the science of her forensic sleuthing, and the science tie in with her nephew. It is entertaining and absorbing without being too gory.

Compelling and absorbing

Revisado: 11-03-18

Tragic, gruesome yet still a story of belief that love and a higher truth prevail. I came away with a deeper appreciation of what the world wars must have been like for occupied European countries and the atrocities of war. But the strength of character from the women who spied for the allies and resistance was remarkable. Such courage and risk. The personal stories wove a lightness through it so the book wasn't all gloomy and dark, though there were those parts where the darkness of history had to be portrayed.

Loved getting the history and flavor of Cuba

Revisado: 09-27-18

I got a deeper connection to the history of Cuba by getting drawn in to the lives of the Perez family. I feel like I could visit there now and understand what happened to the everyday people. Really enjoyed this book.

Davis Way and Gretchen Archer keep making a splash

Revisado: 04-05-18

I love this series. Archer comes up with yet another bundle of kooky but also serious characters and plot twists. I don't want to spoil the surprises for Davis Way fans but this one kept me as entertained as all the previous in the series.

Love this series-funny, touching, complicated

Revisado: 03-15-18

Love the inside look at casinos, how smart Davis is figuring out bad guy plots, and the interplay with Bianca. Can't wait to see the next one.

Great story, fun narration

Revisado: 02-02-18

This was a great story with lots of side stories to get you drawn in. The southern accent of the reader added to the realness of the Mississippi setting. Hated for it to end but it had a great ending. Good character development - would make for a really good movie.
