This is one of those books where it starts off looking like it is about one thing, but it is really about something else, and even that isn’t completely clear. The author leads you along the path of discovery where many of the characters are not who they appear to be. Reading this is like discovering new stories along the way. And, as always, child’s central character, Jack Reacher, is enigmatic. I enjoyed this book very much.

I used to be a fan of Cornwell, but I have not found her recent work to my liking. This book, however, it one of her earlier works and I enjoyed it. This book is the story of what happens when a DA, a cop, and an investigator who all have troubled pasts come together to solve crime. The characters are well developed, the writing is good, and the story line is interesting.

Such a charming true story about 2 actors who move to upstate NY for a quieter life.

Fun beach read to end the summer!

This book was a story in the truest sense, It is about a Jewish immigrant who comes to America after she sees her parents and husband killed and her daughter runs away and is not heard from again. It is about adapting to America and being able to do what must be done to survive. I very much liked the story aspect of the book, but I was disappointed by the abruptness and events at the end of the book. A worthwhile read anyway.

Love these books and I just wish I had read before the movie.

I love Bradbury and I can’t believe I haven’t read this book until now. It was wonderful. He has such an insight into how the population can be lead to their own demise simply be wanting everything to be quick and easy and information only to be positive. Although written in 1953, it is frightening to see many of societies’ tendencies, particularly the desire for information to be quick and easy with no room for thought or discussion, to be seen in today’s society.

I really liked this book. Great storyline, characters, and some twists that surprised me.

This book was full of surprises! Upon returning to their home after what should have been a vacation to reset their marriage, Iris and Gabriel find their close friend, Laure, in their house. Laure has discovered that her husband has a child that she nor he ever knew about, and Laure asks to stay while she sorts out her life. A tangled web is weaved between the characters, with more links between them adding to the drama already facing them, not only because of Pierre's adultery and now silence, but also because of the secret that Gabriel has been keeping- the true final words of a teenager that Gabriel found in the quarry, on death's doorstep. As more secrets are uncovered that link the characters together, more deaths occur. What other secrets are Laure, Iris, and Gabriel hiding, where is Pierre, and what does the gardener have to do with any of this? Full of shocking twists, I couldn't put this book down and was truly surprised by the end!
