I can honestly say that this book creeped me out a lot. With Hoag setting the first scene with a graphic description of the murder victim, and how our bodies break down after death, I may have been off food for several hours while I finished this book. It seems this days I am destined to read book series out of order. I read book #3 last year, and finally went and bought book #2. I will so just go buy book #1 just so […]
Best Not to Get on Her Bad Side
So far the year of 2017 has been a dumpster fire for multiple reasons…many of those reasons you can guess, but also because I haven’t been able to find a book that I could lose myself in. It’s my turn for my book club selection and so I was feeling the pressure of trying to find something that ten women might like–no small feat. I’m glad that when I made my search for “suspenseful books” on the Internet that when I read the blurb about […]
Time rises and rises, and when it reaches the level of your eyes you drown.
“Having long ago whispered I want to die, I now realize that this wish will indeed be fulfilled, and sooner rather than later. No matter that I’ve changed my mind about it.” Atwood, having once written the Handmaid’s tale can do no wrong in my eyes. I trust her to the end of the Earth and back. And much of this book, I’ll admit, had to be read on that trust. This is not a whirlpool of a book, nowhere does is suck you in, […]
All conflict can be traced back to someone’s feelings getting hurt
Okay, I’m late to the party on this one, but I just discovered that the upcoming mini-series is based on this book which I hadn’t heard of previously. I realize that many of you here have read this already, so it’s not a new thing for you but I’ll leave my two cents worth anyway! On the surface, it sounded like the typical book about a trio of friends and their lives in a small community; everyone knows everyone else, gossip is rampant and someone […]
This is the book
This is the book I read. This is me giving the book 2.5 stars. This is the style of writing in the book that caused me to award only 2.5 stars. This is the sentence structure the author felt would be engaging but was, for me, enraging. This is an actual paragraph from the book: This is your brother with the gun in his mouth. This is your brother forming a cauliflower head on the carpet with his blood. This is his wife, hearing the shot downstairs in […]
Court is in Session
3.5 stars. I love a good courtroom mystery so when I heard about The Verdict, I decided to give it a go. The story centers on Terry Flynt, a man in middle age who has struggled to get his life together and build a true career after alcoholism stole away his youth. He’s finally found something he loves doing as a law clerk. He really likes the detail work and he has the potential to be great someday. When he gets the case of the […]
