Historia
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Good read but a very long story.
Revisado: 10-18-23
Modern version of Dickens, David Copperfield, is a good read if you have the blocks of time to spend with it or you are a fast reader, Not recommended for those of us who read a few pages at clip as it gets “long in the tooth” quickly.

Historia
David Burroughs was once a devoted father to his three-year-old son Matthew, living a dream life just a short drive away from the working-class suburb where he and his wife, Cheryl, first fell in love—until one fateful night when David woke suddenly to discover Matthew had been murdered while David was asleep just down the hall.

Roadmaster: not one of Coben’s better effortsl
Revisado: 04-29-23
Disappointed! Events occur, and then Coben first has to explain them so they fit into the story. Case in point: Dave had a fight with the prison’s bully and wins . That is when you are first told that Dave is a martial arts champion. And then you go back to the story . Later on Dave is kidnaped,out from out of nowhere. And then it is explained in detail.
Actually.the story read as if it was a rough draft waiting for its final review.

Historia
So begins a press release from a mysterious group known only as “The Five,” shortly after a vicious predator is murdered in San Francisco. The Five is made up of vigilante killers who are very bored…and very rich. They target the worst of society—rapists, murderers, and thieves—and then use their unlimited resources to offset the damage done by those who they’ve killed, donating untraceable Bitcoin to charities and victims via the dark net. The Five soon become popular figures in the media …though their motives may not be entirely pure.

Sandford is back! After the mediocre The Investigator; which wasn’t about an investigation or an investigator but about a militia, Lucas and Virgil return in a good story. It is no match for his Winter Prey or Silent Prey but it’s still a good enjoyable read. Recommended!

After months away, Wilde has returned to the Ramapo Mountains in the wake of a failed bid at domesticity that confirms what he’s known all along: He belongs on his own, free from the comforts and constraints of modern life. Suddenly, a DNA match on an online ancestry database brings Wilde closer to his past than he’s ever dreamed, and finally gives Wilde the opening he needs to track down his father.

The story has a much thicker plot than the previous Coben novels that I have read and enjoyed. It stays within the boundaries of “believable fiction” and held its consistency and my interest from beginning to end. A thoroughly enjoyable read, I highly recommend this book.

First of many Penny books I plan to read
Revisado: 04-02-22
This was the first book authored by Penny that I have read. The plot is much thicker than other mysteries that I am used to reading, so it was a refreshing change. The cross action between characters kept the story alive.
I enjoy reading fiction novels that could be “non - fiction” Many good stories are ruined when the author takes the story into “that’s ridiculous “ territory as this did in describing the damage caused in this story. In other word: this couldn’t happen in the real world.
Other than that one piece, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading other Penny authored books

I am sorry that the author lost his son, but that is not what the story was presented as. A chapter and a half ie enough.

Good story, kept interest for entire read.
Revisado: 01-08-22
Liked story, as the base is different. We know who the killer is. We know who was killed and we know why an arrest had not occurred. The time element makes the fiction element plausible.
Most important to me was the ending fit the story; unlike some of the mysteries I have read recently where a good story is ruined by an ending that comes out of nowhere.

Historia
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

Interesting format, not my kind of story.
Revisado: 06-22-21
I tried several times to “get into the story” but failed. As it’s been a “Best Seller “ for so long,I tried to find the “glue” that attaches the reader to the story and makes them want to read it. As the pages passed, that didn’t occur.
I that also thought the narration was amateurish.

After enjoying reading Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone, I looked forward to reading another one of her novels so when I saw The Four Winds; I bought it. Warning! It is a depressing story. As I get into the story,I was absorbed. It is so well written, choice of words, so exact that you can taste,feel and picture the happenings. The icing on the cake is that the ending fits the story; unlike so many other novels I have read recently. I highly recommend this book.
