I enjoyed this book for local information, although very thoroughly researched and well written , the author included way too many unimportant background facts , seemingly irrelevant to the story which made it too confusing to give higher stars

Take an ultra-rich guy who like to go around hurting bad guys, add an art heist, an anti-war group, a pedophile, and a serial murder and you’ve got this book; something for everyone! Coben’s writing is always riveting, and this is the perfect example.

The historical fictiom story of bella da costa greene as personal librarian for morgan library she found success in a world balanced between civil rights and womens rights and her own independence and growth

Read out of order of series, but still enjoyable

I read this book in one sitting, it kept me guessing at every turned page. The relationship between Bailey and Hannah is so on point of a sixteen year olds gurl and a step mother dealing with a mystery and learning to love each other in the process! 10/10 recommend

While, in the end, I loved this book, I felt like it started in the middle of something that had been going on, and I fell a bit adrift. But it’s one of those stories that explains things after the fact, and it’s worth it so you just have to hang in there. Weird story about an autistic boy who becomes inhabited by something evil. Lots of violence, so you can’t be squeamish. The amazing thing is that the ending of this otherwise brutal book is actually very tender.

While I have enjoyed Cornwell's books very much in the past, this one is WAY too sci-fi for me. It also has a lot of technical detail about tools and equipment, but not a lot of explanation for the activity that is taking place. Very disappointed and I would not read another one from this series.

Now here is a genre that I would not normally read, but I have read two of her books recently and enjoyed both very much. And what book could be better for a bibliophile than his one that takes place in a library? The story bounces back and forth between two time frames and gives you a look challenges faced by a family who used to live in and care for the NY public library and the current challenges faced by the library’s special collection curators. I learn so much by reading her books.

I have mixed feeling about this book. The beginning is loaded up with a lot of medical details of surgeries, so that will not be for everyone. In the middle it got better, but then it got very preachy on how terrible the nutritional supplements (vitamins) industry is and how is mostly quackery. That aside, the book is supposed to be about how relatively easy it is to utilize technology to alter records so that professionals, in this case doctors, may now be as qualified as they seem. Whole story seems a bit far fetched to me and while it wasn’t terrible, overall I think there are much better books out there.

Fascinating storyline . Interesting characters . Satisfying ending . A worthwhile read
