The more I read Crais's Elvis Cole novels, the more I find myself enjoying them. Sunset Express was no exception.

Never fear, though, Elvis soon enters the ...

All About Anna

+ This reader is satisfied

This one may be for readers who need to know every challenge in Anna Pigeon's career. Perhaps. This is not one of Barr's tightest plots. The wind-up takes awhile. The energy is flat at the beginning. Even after the initial fatality, events lull and sag for a few pages too long. Once energy gets ...

Traditional story and quilt history

+ Broken Dishes by Earlene Fowler
+ Love the Beni Harper books!!

Part of the reason I like these books is the quilt history. I have checked up on the authors data, and she is always correct. I also enjoy the relationship Benni has with Gabe--how it is changing and developing. However, the new man in the series, Hud, sounds like a wonderful guy and I can see why ...
