PROMPT: AMNESIAC

Jack wakes up on a deserted beach in Maryland and has no idea of who he is, where he is, or how he got there.

Meanwhile, Lily, his girlfriend, wonders why Jack never stopped by or hasn‘t called.

For fans of thrillers, biting your fingernails, solving mysteries, and page-turning suspense.

What a terrific read and ending.  5/5

FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/98f858sn

What a quirky group of residents living at Marigold Cottages.

They all felt safe until one resident that Mrs. B met at the bus stop and invited to live in the studio apartment arrived. Anthony was an ex-con.

All was well until a body was found outside the cottages one day. It had to be Anthony.

It was an entertaining read.

FULL REVIEW 9/22

Who are the wives of the exclusive neighborhood of Hawthorne Lane who stick together and never have anything go wrong in their neighborhood?

No neighborhood can be that perfect, right?

We have affairs going on, secrets being kept, unhappy wives, domestic abuse, and now a murder.

Oh the twists...you won't see them coming.

And you know with a title like this​ there is going to be a lot of drama.

Don't miss this one!! 5/5

Two women in charge of a mural but not at the same time.

Anna had won a contest to paint a mural of Edenton for the post office, and Morgan many years later was hired to restore the mural.

If you are an artist or are artistic, this book will definitely appeal to you.

I enjoyed learning about art techniques....especially what pouncing is.

TODDAY‘S PROMPT: MURDERER

My review of TOO OLD FOR THIS is perfect for today‘s prompt.

Lottie Jones retired, but not from a usual job.

9/18

Friends who haven‘t seen each other for 25 years were invited to spend the weekend to celebrate the life of their boss who had passed.

Was that really the reason? It was more like tell your secret or die.

A very tense, slow-moving read at first but picks up.

A little too brutal for me and a bit too long, but it was well written, cleverly put together, and the tell-all at the end was good. 4/5

Lottie Jones retired, but not from a usual job.

She retired from murdering people.

She decided she was done with murdering, but one day Plum, a podcaster, appeared at her door, asking questions about unsolved cases and she just couldn‘t let her go.

It‘s not as gruesome as it sounds, and Ms. Downing certainly knows how to write a good book. 5/5

Margot became the owner of the family business once her father died.

As she was stopping by the office a few days before their canning complex opened for the season, she found one of the employees dead and with an unfinished note addressed to her.

The note indicated illegal activities going on for years, but what could it be?

A MURDEROUS BUSINESS was an enjoyable, cozy mystery with great characters.

Unsavory characters with secrets and one big that is causing all that‘s going on.

Main character Georgia speaks in second person which is a bit confusing at first, but you become accustomed to it and focus more on if she really killed her sister Annabelle and what she is up to as well as what the other characters are up to.

It‘s a good one that will keep you glued to the pages. 4/5
