The Ladies Have Their Say Again
October 17, 2007
Here's the latest picks from my dear friends, the wonderful WW ladies. When I was at the
Moonlight and Magnolia Conference in Atlanta, you ladies were the talk of the group and everyone loves what you do. So, tell me, what have you been reading?
The Salt Maiden by
Colleen Thompson
Reviewed by Jan
Dana Vanover, of Houston, is caught up in romance and suspense on a search for her sister, Angie, a talented weaver of tapestries, whose last known address was Devil's Claw, Texas. Though hardened with a long history of alcoholism and drug addiction, Angie had sought solace in the barren desert wasteland of west Texas. Her daughter, whom she she had given up at birth, was in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant. Romantic sparks flew at Dana's first encounter with Sheriff Jay Eversole, a decorated Iraqi war veteran plagued with psychic flashbacks to that troubled land. He'd returned to Rimrock County to take over the position of his late uncle who had raised him.
Small town dirty politics, a real estate scam that left many local residents penniless and the discovery of a salt-mummified body combined to make this book a "couldn't put down until I knew whodunit" read even though my eyes were gritty from the endless blowing dust, sand and salt. (BTW, this book will be out in December)
Die For Me by
Karen Rose
Reviewed by Loretta
Don't miss the Prologue of this book since it pulls you into a most fearful scenario by an inhuman character. As the book begins, side by side chapters of the workings of this sociopath's brain are revealed and the progress of the Police Department, as they work to discover his location and identity. Frightening doesn't describe it all. Helping to lighten the terror, a sweet love story winds its way throughout the book.
My Sunshine by
Catherine Anderson
Reviewed by Judy
Random acts of kindness often brighten our lives and warm our hearts much more than the brightest sunshine. Kindness, caring, joy and love flow throughout this story. Malicious treachery and jealousy are weaved in providing a very compelling storyline. Just couldn't put this one down.
Killing Her Softly by
Beverly Barton
Reviewed by Barbara (not me)
The story is fabulous. Some characters I really cared about and I will absolutely read Close Enough to Kill. I loved Detective Jim Norton! (Barbara, a former teacher, did mention that "It bugs me when spelling errors occur in published books and I found several." I covered this in a former blog and I agree that it is irritating, but it should be noted that it has nothing to do with the author. Several have told me that even though they corrected the errors, once the publishers got the book there was nothing they could do about it. So, I guess we'll just have to live with it)
Once again ladies, great job with the books and thanks for letting me take your pictures. Barbara wasn't available when I had the camera.
Bottom Line: Say "cheese" when reading that next book. You never know when I'm around with a camera.
