I've not read this particular series before, so I was thrilled to discover that it's just as good as the other Jance series. A sheriff up for re-election and everything in her jurisdiction and in her home life seems to be imploding all at the same time. Add to that the intense Arizona summer and you've got a hot thriller of a read!
A fun romp through a rehearsal of a new musical pre-Broadway. A score that will put the composer/lyricist on the map and a leading who is giving a star turn, and a leading man who can't act, sing or dance. Someone isn't going to make it through Act II! This soon to be submitted manuscript is fun, and has several twists despite its short length. needs a bit of tightening in group dialogue scenes, but a good read!
WOW! It's is an intense read through one man's journey through illness. The reader follows our protagonist through feeling unwell, to diagnosis, treatment and to the brink. Does the power of our conscious and subconscious have an affect on our physical health and recovery? These are the questions posited and beautifully explored in this compulsive read.
This is how you tell a story!!! This novel is told with an economy of words, but they are the right words. Reads at a break neck pace, you won't want to put it down! I didn't!
An intense journey with a teenage girl, who finds herself moving to Alaska in the late 70s. Full of wonder, heartache, violence, love, guilt and redemption, this wonder of a novel will leave you in awe.
A scarily realistic look into the mind, thoughts and feelings of a 16 year old boy, as he deals with a life altering circumstance. Told with out a sugar coating, yet with a great deal of heart, humor and empathy. A lovely read.
A second go around on this one, and I was even less thrilled with it this time, than I was the first time. Not a lot of details on the investigations, just a laying out of what happened and then the outcome, if there was one. Very meh.
