Pretty grim reading - suggested to me by my son who knows I like horror , this is a horror like story but it is true crime - could have been edited down a few hundred pages but the story was written in a journalistic fashion .

First problem; I read the whole book and still do not know where the title came from. A single man, who is particular about the way things need to be, suddenly finds a young man on his doorstep who thinks he is his father. Sounds interesting, but I kept waiting for something to happen, and it didn't.

I love Kellerman’s books, especially the Alex Delaware books, and this one did not disappoint. A young woman is trying to discover the truth about the death of her mother. Detective Milo Sturgis begins the case reluctantly, but soon sees there is more to the case than meets the eye. Milo enlisted the aid of his friend and police consultant psychologist Alex Delaware and together they discover that things are not really want they seem to be, now as well as in the past.

This is an amazingly beautiful story about loss; loss of a spouse, loss of a parent, loss of a true love. And it is about how people cope with loss and how they sometimes find beauty and purpose in themselves and others. It’s also about getting older and what that can mean. Great book; I highly recommend it.

Jenn mckinlay cleverly foreshadows her other series by introducing characters in the library series

King is my all-time favorite author and the only reason I gave this book 4 rather than 5 stars is that it’s a bit dark, even for King and I had some trouble getting through parts of it. And unlike much of King’s other work, which is really about human nature and how people will react in certain situations, this one is primarily about some really terrible creatures. The books two main characters are Dan Torrence, the young boy, now a man, who survived the story described in “The Shining”, and a young girl named Abra who shares Dan’s ability to “shine”. They come together in this story to battle the evil creatures but they also discover something about themselves and their relationship. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you like a story that may frighten you, then you will enjoy this one.

An outstanding book by a pair of my favorite authors, both together and separately. Something very wrong is washing up on the beach; you won't believe what it is and even worse where it is coming from. For those familiar with the Pendergast series, this book showcases his sometimes partner and his ward. But in this book, Pendergast puts some innocent people in harm’s way and harm does come to them. I am looking forward to the next book to see how he deals with this.

This book has it all ! Murder mystery, inter generational friendship, female empowerment and is beautifully written . I highly recommend this “ page turner “ and was sad to see it end .

This is a most interesting compilation of short stories. Salinger brings his experience with life during war time into his narratives and combines a stark look at emotion and tenderness in a variety of different settings. He likes to look at life experience for the well-to-do, and just a warning, everyone smokes cigarettes here!

Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of biographies for the simple reason that not everything in a person’s life will be interesting,,,or so I thought until I read this book. Just about every minute of this book kept me engaged and wondering what would happen next. And to say that it is about an immigrant from Yemen who is working as a doorman and want to start a business importing coffee from Yemen doesn’t do it justice. It is the amazing story of a young man committed to improving the life of coffee farmers in his home country and of someone who will literally do anything to accomplish that. Excellent read!
