I enjoyed reading the story from Willa‘s viewpoint. She is a well-drawn character and a keen observer. The plot progresses nicely to a satisfying conclusion. And then, of course, there is all that cheese. Yum! Thank you, St. Martin‘s Press and NetGalley, for giving me the opportunity to read and review the e-arc of CURDS OF PREY.

Fans of Downton Abbey will surely enjoy reading MURDER AT THE CHARITY BALL.

This is a magical story about a pianist, mushrooms, and loss

This was an entertaining thriller from beginning to end.

A secret society at Harvard--what fun!

The Cuckoo's Calling and this book, Lethal White, are my favorite Cormoran Strike novels. I hope J K Rowling continues to enjoy writing as Robert Galbraith for many more years.

Have you ever gone to summer camp? I think you'll like this book.

Suzanne Valadon was one of Renoir's models, but she was also a painter. This is her story.

Do you live with a sleepwalker? If you do, you should read this book.
Are you curious about sleepwalkers? If so, you should read this book.

It's always fun to enter the world of Flavia de Luce.

Lace reading--a family mystery--a woman's mind. I enjoyed this novel.

Two whodunnits in one! I enjoyed them both.

This book was fun to read. You're always wondering, "How's it going to happen this time?".

I read a library e-book version of this book. I'm glad I didn't spend money on a hardcover.
What a ridiculous ending!

Good, but disturbing! Not as disturbing as the new Twin Peaks--two episodes, and I'm out.

Wilkie Collins or Charles Dickens? Wilkie Collins wins!

Marie Benedict wrote an interesting story based on the life of Albert Einstein's first wife, Mileva Maric. Albert Einstein may have been a genius, but he appears to have been a terrible husband to Mileva.

This book did not meet my expectations.

Just finished reading Mrs. Poe. Was Frances Osgood really Edgar Allan Poe's mistress?

Sex slaves at a bachelor party. What could possibly go wrong? Yikes!

With the title, Twelve Drummers Drumming, and a sleuth named Father Christmas, I thought I'd be reading a Christmas-themed cozy. I was mistaken but enjoyed reading the book, nonetheless.

I enjoyed the audio version of this book and look forward to watching the movie.

Just finished my first novel of 2017. There's a lot to think about.

Alan Bradley created a wonderful character, Flavia de Luce. What a fun book to read at Christmastime!

Julian Barnes explores what it was to be Dmitrii Shostakovich and to consider the place of art in life, society and one's soul.

Interesting characters and a fun read.

The Last Painting of Sara de Vos is good but not as enjoyable as B.A. Shapiro's book, The Art Forger. Both stories are about an art forger. This book, however, alternated three time periods. Too many time changes.

Can you believe my good luck? I found this book on a display shelf in the library and couldn't resist checking it out. What a good read!

One of the characters in this book is Elizabeth Sinskey. Sounds a lot like Rebecca Schinsky. What a riot!

I enjoyed listening to Simon Vance's audio rendition of The Girl in the Spider's Web. Stieg Larsson created a great character, Lisbeth Salander, and I'm happy that David Lagercrantz has continued writing the Millennium Series.

I finished reading my first book of the summer, On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. The author used a couple's wedding night as the catalyst for this novel. His writing captured my attention and never let go.

I never thought I would like science fiction. What is The Sparrow about? Jesuits in space and so much more. Thank you, Ann Kingman, for raving about this book. I'm so glad I finally read it.
