Niceville
Niceville: A Novel
by Carsten Stroud
Niceville (6/8/2012)
Enjoyed this improbable mystery from Carsten Stroud. The dialog was entertaining and so was the story. I found the ending unsatisfying and difficult to understand, but then the book's charm is that it is an improbable southern gothic type of mystery!!

The Tenth Song (10/20/2010)
Well written, inspiring read about life-changing events for a wealthy, ambitious Jewish family. Very spiritual.
Juliet
Juliet
by Anne Fortier
A DaVinci Code type novel (7/6/2010)
A Da Vinci Code type novel about the star crossed lovers who were the inspiration for Romeo & Juliet. The writing style was good, but the book was too long and some of the characters were unnecessary. It will appeal to the type of book club that reads current best …more
