While I like Nicholas Sparks' writing style, I didn't get all the feels that everyone else on the planet seems to have gotten when reading this book. While it was a good story, it was too short for me to get to know these characters and the timeline was so accelerated that I found it hard to believe the depth of their romance.
This one wasn't my cup of tea. Although well written, I didn't buy a lot of the plot points, I personally don't care for books (movies or tv shows for that matter) that are set out west, and I didn't find the mystery to be much of a mystery and the story was bogged down by too many sub plots.
Have to admit...I wasn't expecting much from this, but I was pleasantly surprised at how charming it was! A light and breezy tale, well told about restoring a lighthouse. great many interesting, and delightful side stories lead to an endearing and touching ending. A perfect beach read!
A feisty, impatient protagonist, a bizarre bequest from a long forgotten person, and a 70 year old cold case all conspire to make a delightfully fun and oddly tense mystery! Huzzah to the Deadly Edits series!
A delightful visit with the folks and animals of Darrowby. Exquisite storyteller, James Herriot shares 10 lovely tales ostensibly about animals, when really they are about the human condition.
An updated and innovative twist on Strangers on a Train! Two women, from two different backgrounds, in two seemingly different circumstances meet by happenstance and it's up to Inspector Dan Riley to untangle the mess. Riley is a wry, sarcastic, gem of a character and his single minded determination to do good and what's right can lead him into hot water, but what fun it is to watch him work. This is a great read!
An intriguing story line, paced well, and well written. I feel like I'm missing part of the story because I didn't read the first book, and I wasn't thrilled with the ending (probably because I didn't read the first book). Guess I'll have to get the first book to figure it all out.
