The Face Thief
The Face Thief: A Novel
by Eli Gottlieb
You MUST READ this Book! (12/17/2011)
Not unlike the protagonist, I quickly "fell" into this book. The juxtaposing story lines kept me on edge, and oh so nicely came together in the end. Mysterious, intriguing, captivating. I HIGHLY recommend this book.
The Dressmaker
The Dressmaker: A Novel
by Kate Alcott
The Dressmaker (10/26/2011)
I was looking forward to a new twist on the Titanic "genre." Unfortunately, The Dressmaker was a highly predictable, same ole', same ole'--the ships sinks, which guy should I be with? and my, oh my whatever career should I choose? Typical Titanic novel. Disappointing at best.

"'S wonderful ! 'S marvelous !
(That) You should care for me !
'S awful nice ! 'S paradise !
'S what I love to see!"

A Lonely Death
A Lonely Death: An Inspector Ian Rutledge Mystery
by Charles Todd
A Lonely Death (11/11/2010)
Charles Todd's latest novel was a little slow to start, but quickly turned into a roller coaster ride through the English countryside.

Filled with all the twists and turns and dead ends a good murder mystery provides along with a touch of unrequited love. You won't be disappointed!
The Language of Secrets
The Language of Secrets
by Dianne Dixon
The Language of Secrets (2/5/2010)
I loved the title. I loved the cover. I wanted to love the book, but some inconsistencies in dialogue tripped me up and I would only give this book an average to good rating. Good ending.
