A villain with mommy issues. Women kidnapped and killed. A serial killer escalating. We've heard it all before, right? There's not much to separate this book from thousands of other books of a similar nature. These different elements do offer some reli ...more |

I struggled to finish this one. Most of the book is the paranoid ramblings of a writer having a mental breakdown. Cara is supposed to be writing her thirtieth book, a much-hyped milestone which has put unbearable pressure on her. She comes up empty fo ...more |

The main characters are Hayley and Jade. Hayley is an undercover journalist. Jade is a real-estate salesperson at a Spanish resort. Both are too whiny and gullible to be very likable. They feel too dependent on the men in their life. This book is a se ...more |

This reads like an old Elmore Leonard crime novel, and that is intended as a high compliment. The characters are gritty, the dialogue is realistic and the story is intriguing. One thing I really liked is the unusual sentence structure with a few words ...more |

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
― Collected Poems and Translations

And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.”
