It was a fun read with entertaining characters and humorous dialogue. It was an interesting premise for a covert operation if a bit unbelievable but it added to the absurd antics. There was a nostalgic view of metal (don‘t say hair) bands and some old school Cold War times. …more If a story about a rock and roll spy working with a group of CIA operatives on probation to end communism in the Eastern Bloc through music and T-shirts is your kind of story, this is the book for you!

I read this in two nights! It had friendship, mystery, and a little romance with engaging characters. I found the idea of a multi-generational same name club that solved crimes an interesting premise and the author executed it well. At first the dates were a bit confusing …more but once I realized the timeline shifted back and forth, I paid better attention at the beginning of the chapter to the dates. (less)

I enjoyed reading this book and found it engaging. The sense of humor throughout was similar to mine and had me laughing. If I could write a book, I imagine it with this type of writing. Some may find the light touch on a terrorist action to be disturbing. I am recommending …more friends to read for the phrasing and wit of the writing. (less)

I was not sure where the novel was going at first as it seemed to jump around but as I kept going, I found the writing lyrical and captivating. The development of the sisters and their relationship with each other and their environment (particularly the mountain) was moving. …more We do not always think about our relationship to nature and how where we live creates ties that bind us to each other and to the land. This novel captured that in a magical way. I found the mysticism in the story as a metaphor for things that can pull us down or lift us up. However, I am not sure if it will have broad appeal because it took time to get interested in the characters and story and the magical aspects may not appeal to a broad audience. (less)
