The House at the Edge of Night: A Novel
by Catherine Banner
Good Start but... (7/28/2016)
A good start, strong writing and characters of depth and interest. However, 2/3s in, Banner takes on too much. The story of the family and the children was plenty: rich, evocative and satisfying. The tangents weakened the plot and the characters became secondary to the meandering story line.
Sweet Caress
by William Boyd
Wonderful (6/28/2016)
One should buy Boyd's mystery writing because it funds his real writing, such as this gorgeous novel and the novel he was born to write, Any Human Heart. Beautiful character depiction, gorgeous phrasing, and a humanity rarely found in modern writing. Buy Boyd.
Girl Waits with Gun
by Amy Stewart
(Boring Predictable) Girl with Gun (6/28/2016)
A very disappointing read. I do believe, or would like to believe that we are waaaaay beyond the 'feisty female' protagonist. Main character (see, I have already forgotten her name) is so deeply stereotypical in too many ways. The writing was redundant and plodding in toomore
Little Bee: (aka The Other Hand)
by Chris Cleave
A Missed Opportunity (4/3/2016)
An OK read but not strong enough for my book club. Far too predictable in places, child character stretching the boundaries of credibility with far too much 'product placement' (is Cleave hoping for a screen writing gig and/or movie deal?) The characters' voices wavered inmore
