The Girl Before
The Girl Before
by JP Delaney
Intriguing concept and a good read (11/27/2016)
I love the alternating POV of Emma and Jane! The concept of the house as a part in the mystery was intriguing and delightfully creepy. The male character, Edward, was a bit thin and as persona I am tired of in my reading, however, if enjoyed the other characters and their paths. I recommend!

Very good - but something missing for me (9/11/2016)
This has all the makings of a superb book. The subject is fascinating, the writing is perfect, and I love a controversial topic. But I couldn't gain enough traction with the main character to compel me forward. I read it and really liked it, but I personally needed more …more

Interesting twists and turns! (6/6/2015)
I had a tough time putting this book down. It certainly gave a frightening view of the devastating effects of Alzheimer's on the mind of the sufferer and those closes to them. I thought the plot was unique and exciting and to me, the ending was not predictable. My only …more

Interesting look into business in China (1/14/2015)
I was intrigued with the setting of this book~China~and the clash of civilizations with Americans doing business in China. I loved the main character Paul; I did feel his pain and loyalty to his departed son. It was fun to watch him wake up and engage in the world. I could …more

The Life I Left Behind
by Colette McBeth
4.5 stars! Intense and engrossing (12/5/2014)
I was surprised at how engrossing this story was. I am not familiar with the author, but will look for more of her work in the future. It's the perfect mystery in most ways. I enjoy the alternating voices of the victims and the DI, however, I would have loved a few chapters …more
