Stunning. Profound. Powerful. Read it!

An absolute fave! I have read it many times but never actually near the ocean until now. Made it even more lovely!

"My life cannot implement in action the demands of all the people to whom my heart responds." Written in 1955 and even more relevant in today's world.

Sisterly love and murder make for a potentially good combination. But...not quite sure what to make of this psychological mystery. Liked it but did not love it.

"I sometimes wonder if you are trying to come to terms with two mysteries almost four decades apart." Ayup.

Reading Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire novels is like meeting up with old friends for an afternoon of good conversation, laughter, and storytelling.

"Oh God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space – were it not that I have bad dreams” - I normally enjoy both McEwan and Shakespeare, but this odd retelling of Hamlet, with a fetal narrator, was a bit too "out there" for my taste.

I usually enjoy Ann Cleeves, but I was disappointed in this particular Vera Stanhope mystery. I just didn't care who did it. Or why. That being said...I love Vera and Joe as characters.

I think this is at least as entertaining as watching television, but certainly not worth all the hype it has received. Only average.

A morbidly fascinating mix of forensics, mortuary science, and philosophy. Not for the squeamish.

A favorite of mine that I first read 40 years ago. It's a quintessential gothic! I meld the plot lines of Rebecca, Mistress of Mellyn, and Jane Eyre together because I read them each in one memorable summer as a teenager.

An amazing read despite a lack of full character development. Whitehead's use of a physical Underground Railroad is clever and fresh. And I loved the way he moved the reader through various significant events in black history.
