Okay. This has made me laugh 3 times so I can’t trash it like I initially thought I would.
Last laugh caused by Alice .. her “break up” scene where she keeps throwing his stuff in her exit bag.

Lots of emotional healing in this book.
Different from most of her books ….

Lauren: I just want to put this out there to make sure you both think this through. Because one of you is emotionally bankrupt, and the other’s emotionally unavailable.
(Who is who ? Alice =b, Knox=u my guess)
L: “See, if you don’t even know which one you are, you have no business … fornicating!”

“He picked up a stick and tossed it.
Pickle went from zero to hero, leaping up in the air to try to catch it."

Eleanor leaves a box with surprises for the 3 inheritors … after her earthly life is done.

I am tired of the cheap sexual (and unnecessary)
wisecracks.
This may be a DNF for me.
Strange relationships between the main 3 characters….

We now have a dead body (murdered) and are deep into the police investigation :)
DCI Alec (Daisy’s husband) is personally heading it up :)
Wonderful peek into 1926 England too .. very interesting!
First book by Carola Dunn that I have ever read….

The Barleycorn, a sea going vessel .. Patrick’s 3rd one so far in this story.
I suspect Patrick is part of the Jessup’s liquor business.

Well .. this is lasting a bit too long 4 me.

Brought a tear to my eye ….

Cash Rawlings (eldest of the 3 brothers and a believer) visits Slater in Shotgun and meets Libby (Liberty) who is Slater’s sweetheart.

Griffin just hired Slater to be the new deputy.
Tess and Griffin are engaged to be married.

“Why did you that ?” (Gunner)
Sentences like this make me hate this story.
WHO wrote this ?!?

They R located 2 hours from Chicago.

Crystal Springs, IL (small town)
Ex Chicago cop, overcame drinking problem

Good start. JT Logan is sheriff and single father of 3 school-age kids.

Excellent start !!
Good writing here (surely Angie’s mom is exaggerated .. at least I hope so !)

Trying 2 decide what books 2 keep .. did NOT read books 1&2 ….

Jack Rabin, famous disc jockey many years ago
WPCH.
“He frowned, the fleshy dewlaps um his mouth drop’g like a depressed basset hound’s.”

Her beehive was gone of course. Architecture like that was never meant for the ages
(Rita Fontaine of the 60’s girl group the VelvetTeens)

Courage expanding .. along with increase in verbal cursing.
Ah the academic vie !

Teared up at Thanksgiving reunion of Nick & his family.

Nick’s Thanksgiving welcome made me tear up.

Laundry came out all gray. The angel statue was moved.

Interesting.

Not crazy that liquor is mentioned .. and crass comments are not welcomed. Some might say that makes the book grittier .. bad move by Harlequin imho.

Mattie’s family is a hoot. Dr. Ryan is written well.

I think I can see two ugly things coming ahead.
