Fond Of Jo Nesbo writes in a calculated manner. He is slow and steady handing out details like breadcrumbs and if one isn’t paying attention could slip by unnoticed. Besides Harry, an eclectic cast of characters clowns, aborigines, and strippers — oh my! With such a diverse grouping, it held one’s attention. An example being […]
Fond Of In The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey Mable and Jack’s neighbors were one of the high points in the story. They felt more developed and dimensional. Ester’s vibrancy and boisterous nature added some life that was desperately needed. The novel was lovingly written. The fact that no quotation marks were used for Faina […]
Fond Of My Sister’s Grave by Robert Dugoni had Fantastic pacing. It was slow but steady laying out all the information at hand. Robert Dugoni let the reader form our own opinion as the plot and characters develop.Truthfully, I thought I had it figured out within the first half of the book. It stared me […]
The Keeper of Lost Causes is first and foremost a thriller that holds your attention. Unfortunately, despite well-developed characters and a suspenseful plot I found it predictable and thought the evil villain was a little boy with a grudge, and once that thought came upon me couldn’t get it out of my head and therefore […]

Catherine Chanter kept this reader in suspense to learn what happened to Ruth’s grandson and for that reason was a […]
The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse by Alan Bradley felt rushed. This probably due to its small size. The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse did capture the uniqueness of Miss de Luce. Unforunately, it felt unfinished, or that the author ran out of room. The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse was a disappointment […]
Fond Of Crazy Hannah, Janie’s kidnapper was probably the most interesting aspect to the novella as her erraticness was entertaining and gave a break from Janie’s whining. Not Fond Of Like in Janie Face to Face Caroline B. Cooney neglects that Janie’s story began in 1990 before the invention of text messaging and YouTube […]
Fond Of The Ghost of the Mary Celeste by by Valerie Martinwell written and descriptive to a t. The characters were not lacking in development adding a boost to the overall story. I enjoyed Arthur Conan Doyle’s role in the Mary Celeste as I like reading fictional novels on writers, artist etc. Not […]
Fond Of I read Until Your Mine by Samantha Hayes last year. I thought it was a great, original thriller and therefore was excited to see a sequel What You Left Behind. What You Left Behind establishes another twisted thriller in the beginnings of a heart-pounding series. Samantha Hayes kept me guessing who did […]
