"Tuesday the Rabbi Saw Red" is one of the best mysteries out there.It takes place mainly on a Massachusetts college campus during the Vietnam era.Kemelman opens up with pieces of information that seemirrelevant, but everything falls into place.There is a clear plot, adefined theme, and the characters are real.This book will keep youwondering "whodunit" until the end.

Fall Review

Fall
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
"Fall" is set at a prestigious boarding school in Canada, where two roommates slowly get to know each other. The two roommates are Julius - a guy who has everything together, is loved by everyone, and has the most beautiful girl on campus (Fallon, aka Fall); and Noel (aka Wink b/c of his lazy eye) - an introverted, quiet guy who doesn't really have any friends and seemingly doesn't care about that, but internally, has a huge crush on Fall, and what seems like a man-crush on Julius. Their relationship as roommates, and later friends, develops throughout the story until Julius's girlfriend Fall goes missing. One of the main things I didn't like about this book is that the point-of-view kept switching between Noel, Julius and William (Julius's ambassador father's driver), and it was confusing at times to figure out who was speaking until mid-way through the chapter. Also, during most of Julius's chapters, the writing was as if someone was actually talking which was completely hard to follow. The first chapter of this book (which I later found out was a Julius chapter) entirely captures what I did NOT like about the book as a whole. Also, after finishing the book, I still have NO idea what the purpose of the William chapters were - they could have been removed from the book and not have made an ounce of difference. Overall, the story itself was decent, but I did not like how it was written...it just wasn't very reader-friendly. I probably would have rated the book a 2.5 if I were allowed to give half stars.

You Have the Right to Remain Puzzled (Puzzle Lady Mysteries) Review

You Have the Right to Remain Puzzled
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I enjoyed reading this book.I am a big fan of the Puzzle Lady Mysteries.I have read them all, and often look forward to a new book each year.This was a fast read and some of the statements that Cora the Puzzle Lady says in the book are comical.

I have found over the past years that the earlier Puzzle Lady Mysteries were better than the recent ones.This story made the Puzzle Lady seem very mean and feisty.In the past the character was feisty in a comical way. The Puzzle lady used to drink alcohol a little too much, but she was a sweet, happy drunk. The author now has our heroine on the wagon and she seems very bitter without her booze. While reading this book I often wished she would start to drink or get another love interest so she would lighten up. I thought the Puzzle Lady seemed a little too mean for her own good in this story. The last couple of chapters left me confused regarding how the murder occurred.I felt like the author had to quickly write the ending.

Now & Then (a Donovan Creed Novel) Review

Now & Then
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A mystery book centered in Florida?NO....impossible.Okay, not really....but this one certainly stands apart from the crowd in typical Donovan Creed fashion."Now & Then" by John Locke has readers welcoming back this beloved character but not in a shower of emotion....rather another tale of mystery, suspense, and knock your socks off action.Blending a mix of fantasy and reality, author John Locke delivers another great addition to a growing series.If you are new to the series, I'd recommend starting from the top...but this one can still be enjoyed as a stand alone book if you really wanted to.Recommended reading for fans of the mystery and fiction genres.Enough action for the guys and enough story for the girls.A great escape for your next weekend read.....just be sure to fasten your seatbelt and hang on tight.
