Thought provoking book exploring how little we know about each other. Examples of passages: “…like almost everyone else on this Earth, her imagination could not take her fully to another place…” “But mostly we travel through life unsighted, grasping o ...more |

| An excellent mystery/murder/historical fiction! The two timelines (1929 and 2024) work well. The story flows in a well-paced rhythm through the dual POVs. The history of the times and the Dominion Hotel are told without sounding textbook-like. I was ...more | |

"4-4.5 stars!!

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
