She Walks in Beauty 24 reviews

Naiad Press, 2001
I can relate
It took me a while to read "She Walks in Beauty" but I finally finished it and did not have to struggle. I am not an eager reader or even a literary person, I am a romantic and Ms. Conn can surely make one feel, every bit romantic. This is "A MUST READ BOOK" and I genuinly recommend it to any woman but especially Lesbian types, like myself. This writer is very thorough and detailed in her every ...

Trisha touched my heart with her honesty
It's hard to get a copy of Trisha's "drive" when you live in Holland like me. When I finally did, I jumped in the passenger seat and couldn't stop reading. I feel connected. Her honesty moves me. Reading her thoughts, experiences and feelings helps me to stay on my track. Thank you Trisha.

Inner Circle
This addition to the Detective Inspector Carol Ashton mysteries is one of the best. Loose ends in Carol's personal life come together. As always, Claire McNab weaves a tale of intrigue and suspense. I have read all of the previous books featuring the premier lesbian detective, and have never been let down! I highly recommend this book!

Great surprise
I agree with the first reviewer. This book was a gift and much to my surprise it was a wonderful story. It is thoughtful, tasteful, and from beginning to end you are there. I also read many parts again and again. It is one of my most favorite books. This is the author's best book, and wouldn't it be nice if she'd write a sequel.

Not Great Literature But Important Theme Nonetheless
This novel tells of an important historical fact, one rarely written about. Well into the 20th century, women could be locked up for their entire lives in mental asylums for their sexual orientation or just about any reason their male family members wanted. The stories of these incarcerations are fascinating. However, what those stories have to do with the romance between the main characters is ...

Excellent Book!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The character development was well thought out, the plot was superiour, and the entire book held my attention from beginning to end! It's also nice to see a lesbian main character go through "real life".

Wheither it be her metaphors or her simple sentances it makes for an image and a life that will stay with the reader. I would definately recommend this book to the world, I hope someday, ...

A Wonderful Book - Moving in so many ways...
I found MEMORY BOARD in the "free" box at a local yard sale, and I must say, it is by far the most valuable "find" I've had in years. This book - it's difficult for me to briefly describe how moving it was for me. The story itself touches me because of how deeply I treasure my own relationship with my brothers, and my best friend ("sister") -- especially as we all are experiencing the ...

McNab's Back on Track!
Another good mystery from McNab. Detective Inspector Carol Ashton is back in Australia after her adventures in Washington. She called in to investigate the murder of a professional golfer at Australia's premiere women's golf tournament. As Bourke, Ashton's associate, says, "We have a victim who has more enemies than friends, a suspect list that's growing, and a wide-open time of death, so that ...

One of the best in lesbian fiction
I gave a copy of this book to all of my straight friends so they could read what romanace and love between two women is really like--and they loved the book too! The characters are so well developed and the love is very true to life. It felt good to read a book that echoed how I really feel. After I read this book, I dove into An Emergence of Green, which was also very good.

Every Time We Say Goodbye (Robin Miller Mystery, Number 7)6 reviews
Jaye Maiman
Naiad Press, 1999
Another great installment in the Robin Miller series.
Maiman is one of my favorite writers. She balances the personal/romance element of her novels well with the mystery element. The Robin Miller character is so likeable. She's struggling to become a better person as she recognizes what could hold her back. One suggestion: give us more KT! With each novel, I want to know more about what's going on in her head. Wouldn't that be a great spin on the ...

WOW
I don't generally like mysteries, but I fell in love with this book on the first page. I couldn't put it down and read the entire story in one evening. (I'm never really sure how authors feel when they've worked for months on a book, only to have it read in a few short hours!) This is a well-written book with a consistent story line. There is just the right balance of emphasis on the mystery ...
