Review:This is the second series that I've read by Pippa DaCosta and I was not disappointed in the least. As with other reviews, I won't go into the plot of the book as you can find that elsewhere.

One of the things that Pippa DaCosta does magnificently is develop her characters and ensure that the choices they make are realistic and not forced. I can't tell you how much I hate a book where in order to further the plot, an author forces a choice (or lack thereof) that is completely out of charac... Read more

Review:I really enjoyed this psychological thriller by Wendy Walker. It is riveting from the beginning and hard to put down. Some complex characters, some that I liked and some I did not, especially Mrs. Martin, the narcissistic mother of Emma and Cass, and a very interesting story line that was not predictable at all and that kept me guessing. Although there were a couple of things I did figure out, the ending was a surprise and totally not what I expected. If you enjoy reading books with many twists ... Read more

Review:Browsing in "Books and Books" in Coral Gables, near the setting of this story when I came across an autographed copy of his book "A Death in Live Oak". Author is a South Florida attorney and instructor at U of Miami so I grabbed a copy for me and one for the friend I was joining for dinner who is also a South Florida attorney. Now Live Oak is a long way from Miami so I also grabbed this book in trade paperback so I could get a sense of how he handles South Florida and to become acquainted with h... Read more

Review:I like the series, the only fault I can see is that I would like more of the family involvement as Mr. Box did in earlier books.That is one of the things I thought made his stories different from the run of the mill. Read more

Review:I love JE Rain's Samantha Moon series so thought I would read something else he wrote. I could not put it down. He writes so well and draws you into the characters so that you feel like you know them, and fall in love with them a little. Please read this fantastic story...you won't regret it. Read more

Review:Upton Sinclair at his best. The story of an accidental "secret agent" and the traps he falls into. The innocent victims this poor man takes with him is another example of the tyranny of the Fascist regimes Sinclair despises. It is an excellent example of this man's skills, never failing to keep the reader guessing as to where the grim tale will lead. If you like Sinclair with "The Jungle" and "King Coal", you will enjoy this one, too. Read more

Review:Conrad describes a scene, a feeling, a circumstance like no other. The story is a tale of internal struggle that might have been considered mediocre but for the unique style of Conrad's English. He is to be studied by any student of English literature. Read more
