The Sign of Four

book cover


This book was a true Sherlock Holmes mystery and was very good. The characters are few and the plot is simple to follow and so this telling lets you focus on the character of Holmes, which I enjoyed. This offers a nice glimpse into his personality, seeing how he is when bored, frustrated, and exhausted. The only thing I was not thrilled with was the long description of the backstory at the end by one of the criminals

There is just something about this book I did not like. I’m not sure if it was the writing, which was flat and took way too many words to explain things, or if it was simply the plot, no pun intended.

While I love Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum books, I am not as thrilled with her other work. Nothing wrong with them, I just don’t find the characters as engaging, or maybe it’s that they are not as colorful. This book pairs together a NASCAR driver with a woman looking to find her brother in Miami. It’s lighthearted with some darker events and, of

A captivating book on accepting who you are and not listening to those intrusive thoughts in your head- the ghost is a metaphor for that. Realizing that nobody's perfect is a key theme in this book as well.

This was a gift from a great aunt and we love it dearly. Momma had it memorized quickly and recited it lovingly at bed time and in the middle of the night.
Montauk
by Nicola Harris

book cover


Overall a good book. The beginning is a bit dry with focus on the lives and habits of the rich people who come out from the city to summer at Montauk, but as the book continues you see beneath their superficiality. One woman, Beatrice initially driven by her own unhappiness and later by her true love of the people of Montauk and of one person in particular, begins to assert herself and make real changes both in life and in the community. The ending is great and is unexpected.

This is a simple story about a group of teens, 3 of whom go hiking and one who stays behind. Fire breaks out and the hikers are trapped in the park while the teen who stayed behind struggles to save his family from the fire. It’s a cursory examination of behavior while under extreme stress.
