The sisters had an argument and went their separate ways, but Maddie would never miss Alex‘s birthday no matter what.

Alex knew something was wrong.

THRILLER - MYSTERY

Clare Mackintosh's book from 2018 is the BEST of her first three for me.

Both parents committing suicide at the same exact spot seven months apart seemed a bit strange.

GREAT twists and is another Clare Mackintosh book you won't want to miss. You won't see it coming and ask yourself how you missed it.

Today‘s Prompt: TAN/BEIGE

A CERTAIN AGE began with an excerpt from a murder trial then moved to alternating chapters and told of the life of high society and how they adapted social protocol to whatever they wanted.

Beautifully written as all of Ms. Williams‘ books even though it took me a while to get connected, but it was still enjoyable.

https://tinyurl.com/2v4pz3rj

A reading of their father‘s will at the Bishop family‘s luxurious hotel brings everyone together.

They really do not like each other and have secrets.

Most likely it will be a stormy reading along with the hurricane that is predicted to arrive in a few days.

How will it all turn out? Or should we say: Who will win out - the storm, the siblings, or neither one?

Why did her grandfather bring a parcel all the way from Yugoslavia to Australia?

And why was her mother horrified by it and told Hannah that she could not look at it?

Another marvelous, heart-wrenching, well-researched book based on truth.

A gem you won‘t want to miss if you enjoy historical fiction.

You will love all the characters for their strength both past and present.

MYSTERY - HISTORICAL FICTION - MURDER MIXED WITH LAUGHTER

Chicago, Chicago my kind of town.....but at the moment it definitely wasn‘t Amos Jansen‘s kind of town since he is being accused of murder.

A history lesson with many names you will want to look up to find out what part they played in America‘s history of unions and civil liberties.

Murder mixed with laughter make this book an historical page turner.
