The Confessions of Catherine de Medici
The Confessions of Catherine de Medici: A Novel
by C.W. Gortner
The Confessions of Catherine de Medici (5/23/2010)
Great read! Very easy to get into and a story you don't want to put down. I haven't read much about this period so it was truly interesting. Catherine was a strong woman and was more involved in the history of this country than you think a woman of her time would be. I …more

The Wives of Henry Oades: A Novel
by Johanna Moran
The Wives of Henry Oades (12/19/2009)

Heavenly Pleasures (4/20/2008)
I received this book wanting to love it. I enjoy light hearted mysteries and this seemed like it would fit the bill. My problem? I did not enjoy the characters and the writing style. It is a little too detailed for my taste and I kept wanting to yell "Get on with the story!! …more
Signed Mata Hari
Signed Mata Hari: A Novel
by Yannick Murphy
Signed, Mata Hari (11/25/2007)
I am very impressed with the author. From the beginning, I loved the lyrical language and the character that she was able to flesh out. I knew nothing about Mata Hari, which drew me to the book. With the short chapters, it made it easier for me to pick up and put down at …more
