I enjoy fast-moving mysteries, and this one started out okay, but I'm not happy when the authors can't keep the relationships of their characters straight. Not 50 pages into this, they mixed up the relationship of the male protagonist with his brother-in-law and called him a cousin. Where's your editor?

And then there's all the reading I do for professional development. This one might actually be worth the effort.

I love Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie mysteries. This is as good as the others, so far.

Already into the characters and a page turner.

Carl writes great mystery novels for adults and good young adult literature, too. This one is up to his excellent standards so far.

Read this far yesterday and could hardly put it down. It reads like the best novel, but it's not fiction.

I'll probably finish it tonight. This lady is one survivor.

I started this book last night and almost couldn't put it down.

interesting story of a woman running from a crime at the turn of the century.

I sponsor and coach speech contestants at my school. Thought this book might offer some suggestions and provide some material for students.

Great read about similarities between animal and autistic understanding.

So far a good history of acting theory and hopefully ideas for bringing some dramatic literature into my classroom.

Allende memoirs rivet me with their honesty and immediacy.

I am not really excited over this book. Who chooses this stuff we read in book club, anyway?

I'm getting a much clearer idea of the time from the death of Christ to the Renaissance than I had before.

So far, this is interesting and quite objective.
