so-soYeah no. Unlikeable unfeeling characters, tasteless transitions from serious business like discussing child abduction to having (ofcourse amazing) sex. Glossing over sexual abuse, child abduction. And also the weird reaction of the detective love interest when mentioning giving birth to a child at home. I wasn't into it.
TBR since 6-8-2023; 242 pages.
pickThis is the fifth and final book in the Lily Bard Mystery series. Things are open-ended enough that Harris could continue the series. I thought every book in this series was excellent. Since we all know that this author tends to write about a given character or characters for too long I think it is probably for the best that she only wrote five books in the series. The mystery is intriguing and the final revelations are surprising.
pickI took Tae Kwon Do in college. Lily Bard is a student of To-Shin Do ninjutsu. I don‘t know why I think this is important to tell you, I just do. This is another excellent book in the Lily Bard mystery series. Who is murdered and why are both shocking. And whodunnit is a surprise. I‘m about to start the fifth and final book in this series. I‘m also going a little bonkers that cell phones were new and videocassettes were common not that long ago.
pickLily Bard returns to her hometown for the first time in seven years to be in her sister‘s wedding. Her new beau, Jack, coincidentally has a case in the same town, the eight-year-old disappearance of an infant girl. A clue points to three little girls and their parents. Lily gets to reunite with a couple of old friends. It‘s not an easy reunion for anyone but the mystery is solved. If I were casting this as a movie, Jack would be played (cont)⬇️
pickI think this was a fine whodunnit. I had a knee jerk reaction every time one of the villains used the N-word. The white supremacist bad guys threw the word around in public. I‘ve been around when that sort of thing happened and it is not pleasant. I don‘t know if the author felt it was important to have the villains use because she wanted to make things realistic. She‘s a Southerner and so am I. It is, unfortunately, very realistic. Cautiously rec
pickI was surprised at how good this book was. Maybe she should‘ve stuck with mysteries instead of writing mediocre vampire/supernatural novels. I enjoy fantasy, and I had such high hopes for the Sookie Stackhouse series. I‘m not sure why I continued to the bitter end. But this book was a complete surprise with its high entertainment value. The whodunnit and why were quite a surprise. I have a good deal of sympathy for them. I‘ll continue this series
Idk who Mary Alice is but I'm shocked she gave these books away. I will NEVER get rid of my autographed books. This one makes 5.
so-soHappy to be finished this series. Harris is great at writing unconventional mystery but her characterization in this series is not as good as im used to. Lots of holes attributed to the backstory that never get satisfactorily explained. #27-2022
