Cady Delafield discovers the body of her student in the home of accused murderer Doyle Flanagan. Putting her reputation, career, & life at stake she reluctantly joins him to hunt for the killer. Overall, the book was likable. The author put considerable effort to assure accuracy of the period (& probably the H.H. Holmes murders). Despite some continuity issues, it was a good Saturday afternoon read that will remove you from reality for a spell.

Mike Latta is hiding from the pain of his past. With the intent of exiling himself from the world, he sets out to live on an isolated, Canadian, island for a year. Bizarre encounters lead to dangerous secrets, mysteries, and brushes with death—leaving the reader glued to the page and hungry for answers. I recommend carving out some time and reading Caves in the Rain immediately.

Having a hard time putting this one down!

Thrust onto a trail of buried secrets, CIA experiments, & Russian agents, each must decide what is truly important or risk being shattered. When it comes to thrillers, I am extremely critical. This was superbly done & I look fwd to the next bks in the series.

Lindsay & Glenn Reade, are thrust into the epicenter of a murder-mystery when they discover a 40-year old diary. From that moment, their lives will never be the same. "A Page From The Past" is a compelling story of intrigue and mystery where nothing is as it seems. Despite some continuity issues toward the middle of the novel, Davis weaves an intricate web that will catch the reader and keep them entangled until the very end.

Although the storyline kept me interested, I found the anachronisms distracting.

The pieces were mostly there to make this a good read but, the execution was lacking. The author should have consulted an anthropologist to get guidance on writing an ethnography-- and how to be less ethnocentric. The author warns the interviews are redundant in the beginning and unfortunately, these are the bulk of the book.
