The Look of Love
The Look of Love: A Piper Donovan Mystery
by Mary Jane Clark
The Look of Love (11/9/2011)
This is my first Mary Jane Clark book and I was disappointed in it. The format was quite choppy with short chapters (some only a half a page long. There was no character development. The plot was boring and predictable. I found myself hurrying through the last part just to …more
Before Ever After
Before Ever After: A Novel
by Samantha Sotto
Good Summer Read (6/13/2011)

The Crossing Places
The Crossing Places: A Ruth Galloway Mystery
by Elly Griffiths
The Crossing Places (10/30/2009)
This book was a very good read.I found it to be an engrossing mystery. The main characters were well drawn and so diverse - from a police detective to scholarly archeologists to new age followers. Also, the landscape of the Saltmarshes around Norfolk was so well depicted. …more
