I was fully absorb from page one.  Terrific prose.  Interesting tale.  A great evocation of the Isle of Crete.  And a wonderful fearless main character way ahead of her era.  An absolute delight!

Heart warming, touching and a nicely woven story and mystery. Funny and sad. With some thoughtful passages. Reminded me a bit of a more sober Midwest version of Crazy in Alabama.  Which I loved!  I gave it four stars only because I thought the plot and who killed One of the main characters was fairly easy to figure out.

I sadly had never heard of the author. When I saw he'd been writing a mystery series for years I bought his  first book Iron Lake. OMG it was a fabulous page turner. Many a sleepless night. I plan to read them all.

Franklin knows how to spin a yarn, trap you with the enjoyment of it.  Characters are well-drawn.  Story lines flow nicely.  I can't wait to read more of her works.

I absolutely loved this.  It was so good, I couldn't put it down.  Fascinating setting, terrific story, great characters.  I could practically see and smell it happening in my mind's eye.  I was transported to Morocco and enthralled with everything.  Awesome and delightful read.

What a wonderful weaving of the stories of three generations.  Though it gave hints to the outcome, the unwinding was delightfully told moving forward and flashing back.  Personally loved the details of hand quilting, being a quilter myself, and the history of the quilt was a great basis literally stitching the story together.

A great yarn set in a historical context. As long as you can accept it as just that it is a quite enjoyable read.

This was a gripping yarn. I love it when I read a book and can't put it down until it is finished, then once it is finished, wishing for more. I can't wait for the next book!

This is one of the best real-life yarns I've read in a long time. Great reporting. Great entertainment. The authors do a fine job of introducing the characters, setting the scene on that icy day, and letting you feel the emotions felt by the passengers on that plane. As a reader, I felt gripped. I almost ralphed at one point. If you love true-action thrillers, this occupies the top 10 of the year.
