I loved this book from the first paragraph

Revisado: 08-16-24

My friend recommended that I listen to this book. She said she was unsure about it at first but then got into it and wound up loving it. Not me, I loved it from the beginning. It is a beautiful love story that takes in racial challenges as well as mob life expectations. Family love is strong throughout the book. It was a winner for me. I loved the characters.

Love the resilience of Tracey and Andrea.

Revisado: 01-13-24

I enjoy reading books where the female characters are strong women. They ultimately triumph over the enormous challenges the author, Robert Dugan, puts in their path. He must know some very strong women to use as models for his stories.

I was ready not to like it because of other reviews

Revisado: 12-11-23

Some reviews said it was very hard to follow because of all the texting and all the characters. I was feeling that in the beginning also and then all of a sudden it started making sense and was easy to follow. My favorite parts were still where Strike and Robin would have collaborating conversations. This was a different format for me but I still enjoyed it very much.

Entertaining and uplifting

Revisado: 11-22-23

This is a light story about a girl from LA switching apartments with a guy from New York City. She meets her next door neighbor, they are both getting over a broken heart. You guessed it, they spend time together, they both have lots of friends because his friends have taken to her. They share good times together and it winds up with the promise of a happy ending. Short book, quick reading just what you need to be entertained as d have your spirits lifted.

Totally Captivating

Revisado: 11-11-23

I love the ongoing development of the characters especially Strike and Robin. This is a series that, if it continues forever, I will very happily follow. The writing is superb and the narration is excellent. I usually listen to audible books while running or taking long walks. This book made me extend both just so I could keep listening. In the end I was listening in the car as well as in the house, just every minute I could manage. So many little sub plots, interesting interaction between very unusual characters. I can’t wait for the next in the series.

A World War II story from a different angle

Revisado: 12-24-22

I really enjoyed how the author unfolded this story and added the skills of illusion throughout.
I have read a lot of WW II historical fiction but this one was refreshingly different.

Beautuful story

Revisado: 08-25-20

I really enjoyed hearing about the French Resistance and the individuals who helped the Jewish children escape to Switzerland. As forgers Ava and Remmy had a strong tie which lead to a deep love never to be forgotten. The characters were well developed and the story moved along. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys knowing more about the side stories of World War II.

Maybe it is just me

Revisado: 05-15-20

Maybe other people know they will be getting 75% recipes read to you and 25% story content. I didn’t know. Maybe other people knew it was more a young readers novel but I didn’t know before purchasing it. The recipes sounded delicious but it was like reading a telephone book to me especially since it never stopped. Each chapter had at least one or two recipes. The story was simple and somewhat entertaining and not difficult to see coming a mile away. I would have sent the book back but I was too far into it. I use the audible books to listen to while I run and I was disappointed in this choice for me. I went back to the offering of the book looking for verbiage that would have clued me into what I was getting but I couldn’t see any warnings. I will not be purchasing any other books by this author.
