Powerful and Compelling
This book might not be for everybody, but if you like good writing, a sense of place, compelling characters, and a tale well-told, check it out! Mary Logue writes with the voice of a poet and the intensity of one who has "been there." Five stars is not enough. Highly recommended!

Bone Harvest: A Claire Watkins Mystery (Claire Watkins Mysteries)

Fawcett, 2005

A Suspense Novel with a Heart
I love suspense novels, so when I came upon the title Bone Harvest I couldn't resist! I thought the title might be a bit overplayed and I might end up a little disappointed. I can definitely say I was not disappointed at all! It was creepy, suspenseful, kept a good pace, had great characters - and most of all a very satisfying conclusion! I will warn people - this is NOT a horror novel. If you ...

Mary Logue

Brilliance Audio on MP3-CD, 2004

Chilling and sad
Bone Harvest is the fourth entry in the Claire Watkins series, and is the first one that I have read-but I am looking for the first three books now! The setting for Bone Harvest is a small Wisconsin farm town that does not have, or usually need, many law enforcement resources. However, fifty years ago, a brutal mass murder in an isolated farmhouse eliminated an entire family and the police ...

Wonderful offering for Young Adult Mystery
This is the second in the Bloodwater mystery series, following Snatched. Hautman won the National Book Award in 2004 for his teen novel, Godless. Roni Delicata, reporter for her high school newspaper, is taking a summer course in Regional Studies along with her younger friend Brian Bain, a science geek. They really do not have much in common, except for a penchant for mysteries. The class is ...

Small Town Secrets=Big Time Trouble
Mary Logue has the gift of keeping the reader turning pages. In reading Blood Coutry you soon discover that there are a lot of secrets being kept in this small fictional town. Like peeling layers of an onion, the story unfolds to a surprising climax. The story is told from several points of view but the characters are well-developed and Ms. Logue gives each one a unique voice. Highly ...

Full house - Full of great stories!
I was lucky enough to get the ARC of this book and wanted to come and review it for others who are considering purchasing it.

We have "Poker for the Complete Idiot" by KL Going which features a hot-shot kid who thinks that ...

Pete Hautman, Mary Logue

Putnam Juvenile, 2006

A great read for reluctant readers
Pete Hautman has long been one of my favorite authors. I have since discovered Mary Logue and have become a fan of her exquisite Claire Watkins mysteries. Each author writes compelling fiction filled with sympathetic and sometimes off-beat characters. I was pleased to hear they had teamed up to write a new mystery series for younger readers. As a former middle/high school teacher, I have ...

Courthouses of Minnesota (Minnesota Byways)
Mary Logue

Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2006

They stand at once as silent reminders of time past as well as the hub of our daily lives. They are the focus of activity in every county?the site of political speeches, holiday parades, and community picnics. They are the courthouses of Minnesota?s eighty-seven counties. Writes author Mary Logue, ?With a clock tower, the courthouse becomes metaphor, literally the ticking heart at the center of a county.? In this beautiful book are ...

Mary Logue

Minnesota Historical Society Press, 1996

a powerful, personal journey
Mary Logue takes us by the hand and shows us, thread by thread, as she unravels the story of her grandmother's fascinating life on the Minnesota prairie. A memorable and highly readable memoir/biography. Anybody who has ever wondered about where they came from will appreciate this story of a granddaughter's search for her roots.

Dancing with an Alien

12 reviews
Mary Logue

HarperTeen, 2000

For everyone, regardless of age, who likes Love, or Space, or Both
Entertaining, tender tale, reminiscent of the 80s movie STARMAN, marrying sci fi space fantasy with young love. Kind of wish the ending was a bit different. This beautiful story also reminds me of another sci-fi love book, SUMMER OF THE GREEN STAR, from '81, which I also enjoyed, but the mood of this story is darker. Again, five (green?) stars
