She is one of my favorite authors. I like the way she and her husband love each other and work together. It kept my interest all the way. I kind of had it figured out before the end however. Too many clues given not to be able to guess what happened the girls who were murdered and left in the old schoolhouse.

I love mystery novels and the first two in this series are great! I really am looking forward to more page-turners like Killing Sacred and One Hand Killing from author Nancy O'Hara.

This is a good book, by one of my favorite authors, but I found this one a little on a strange side.  As usual, her characters stay with you way after you have finished the book.  The problem I had was realizing just where I was when things changed in the book, time, places, and people.  You have to read it to understand.  It might be me since I'm getting older, but I sitll enjoyed it like I have all of her books and look forward to the next one.

I had read some of the negative feedback regarding this book and considered not reading it but having been a long time fan(I consider her my favorite author and I like quite a few!), I was curious.  This is not a sensational murder.  It is probably one of the least unfamiliar cases I feel she has selected to write about.  My son was stationed at Whidbey  in the 90's and my daughter-in-law is from there as well.  When I visited them, I stayed on the island and visited places like Coupeville.  I have an interest of that area and since most of Ann's books revolve around the northwest I told my kids I would look it up before she finished the book and read about the characters.  As usual, she gives an awesome background of them and their families.  I believe this is why I love to read her books.  I feel as if I really get to know them and how they grew up, their family dynamics, and what makes them tick.  Her reporting of law enforcement procedures and court dynamics are clear and understandable.  I feel like I know everyone involved.  The book is an easy read and I couldn't put it down.  I am never disappointed.  The pictures in the book are an added bonus.  I would recommend this work to her long time fans and newbies of true crime genre.  I only hope she doesn't take as long to publish her next one!

Whitney Otto has a writing style that I find irresistible. She's one of my very favorite authors. Her books tend to be a bit too idealistically romantic, but they're written so beautifully and poetically and melodically that they're a joy to read. I listened to the audiobook first (it's wonderful), then read the book. I've read the rest of her books since then and think this is her best. The way it traverses time periods is lovely, and the women are strong, intelligent, artistic and complex. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I've enjoyed all the books in Tiffany Snows' Kathleen Turner series - so much so that I've read them all more than twice!  Naturally, I'm looking forward to all future books she's written and was not disappointed with the first Tangled Ivy book.

This 3rd book in the Dandy Gilver series is wonderful. The author continues to develop the character of Dandy &
her cohort as they grow into professional sleuths. Dandy had a very predictable and conventional life for an upper
class woman of her time and the detective agency represents the opening of new worlds for her. The author gives
us in each book and especially this one an interesting locale - a rural village and farming area in 1920's Scotland
and lots of very specific historical context. She is a master researcher. You feel as if you really can "see" the
places and people. The plot is very clever. Each of her books is better than the last - you can really see her growth
as a mystery writer. Can't wait to read more of her work! This one has witchcraft & all sort of supernatural things
right next to Scottish Presbyterianism. Loved the history, the characters, the plot!

Nancy continues to develop a new series and making it a delight to read and looking forward to the next book in the series. I was afraid this was going to be a normal type romance, but I soon dropped that idea. I like her smooth writing and how she makes you feel like you're right there in the middle of the story with them. I don't like to talk too much about the actual story line as I always hated reading a review and most of the good parts were told in the review. If you have read any of Nancy's works, you'll enjoy this as well as you have her other novels. If you have not read any of Nancy's stories, she is definitely worth picking up and reading. I have yet to miss a story.

I love Debbie Macomber books and have for years.  This one, like most of hers, is pretty predictable because she is a 'positive' writer - so the ending is always a good one.  However, it's not just the beginning or ending of a book that makes the book good - it's the MEAT/CONTENT of what's between the first and last words in the book. Debbie always throws a curve and even if you think you know the predictable outcome of the book (which is a complaint I have read many times in Debbie's reviews), the almost 300 pages of each book are a delight to read and even if I know the good guy is going to get the girl with Debbie's characters - it's fun to take that journey with the characters. I always feel like I've made new friends when I close the book after reading the last page.

This is one of my favorite authors--I love the way she tells a story--and I admire the heroine!  For me that is important--I gotta like them!

Elizabeth Adler is one of my favorite authors. This book is very much like earlier books that she is written. I love all of her books. My two most favorites are Summer in Tuscany and The Hotel Riveria.

Another great read from one of my most favorite authors because she has never let me down in my reading enjoyment.  This is the story of David Turner, one of the top profilers for the FBI who has recently been told he now has a new partner by the name of Rene Murphy.  Agent Turner is less than thrilled even though she is a very beautiful woman because he likes to work alone.  Rene recently graduated from Quantico in the very top of her class for profiling and is excited to prove herself on the job.  Agent Turner lets her know he is in charge and how she will act, respond, and how every aspect will be handled.  Agent Murphy may have a little "in charge" of her own that he will soon find out about that will blindside him.  This is a great story about a serial killer that they must profile , try to stop and arrest.  Great story and really enjoyable interaction between these two characters.  Off the charts lust between them, a lot of the dialogue amusing at times and sexy at other times.  Interesting story and I was surprised at the end who the actual serial killer was.  I love the characters in Suzanne's books.

Having pre-read this book earlier this year and all of her prior novels, I know anyone who wishes to be enthralled with a hard-to-put-down book will enjoy her series.  This book had several twists in the plot, which I found to be interesting.  Of course, knowing the author for many years has made all of her works very meaningful for me.

Julie Garwood is one of my favorite authors and I love this story line.  Her historican romances are my favorite but she has done a good job with the mordern romances also.  These characters in this book reminds me of her earlier books like "Honor's Splendour", "The Secret", "The Lion's Lady" and others.

As I have said before, I love reading Nancy Turner's books.  She makes them so real and wonderfully believable.
