Review:I was delighted with Jill Paton Walsh's original Peter Wimsey novel! She has put her knowledge of Dorothy Sayer's style to very good use, and created a worthy addition to the Wimsey works!
It is a good story, and the characters ring true. Read more

Review:I love this trilogy. Nothing can compare to the first, "Child 44", but Tom Rob Smith has created characters in whose lives I feel vested throughout all three novels. Full of intrigue, adventure and moral dilemmas that make me angry one moment and in awe of the strength of character the next. Could there be a 4th I n the story? A girl can hope! Read more

Review:The blurbs above, from "Publishers Weekly" and "The New Yorker," give a fair summary of the characters and structure of "The Night Watch." In Sarah Waters's reverse-chronological strategy, suspense takes on a different cast: not "What is going to happen next?" but "What is the truth of what's already happened?" This tactic allows her to leave out the heavy-baggage exposition of the ordinary novel, where personae unpack, for our convenience, facts they are already over-acquainted with. Instea... Read more

Review:In her novel Affinity, Sarah Waters takes us to Victorian England. Exploring a dual system of oppression, the prison system and the social condition of women, Waters weaves a master multi-layered tale. Imprisoned for a seance gone terribly wrong, Selina Dawes sits festering in horrific conditions in a women's prison.

Review:Victorian romance! With a twist (well many twists). The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is making this into a play for 2015. Everyone at work is reading this book. Great plot. Could not put this book down.. Glad I had purchased for my kindle so I could read it all night long. Read more

Review:I bought this book because I had read high fidelity before, and I think this author has a great ability to conduct a story. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down.

I can really recommend this book! Read more
