 The Book of Eve

by Julia Blake



The writing is superb, a pleasant read. 

This was an exciting story, with multiple secrets and twists, good solid characters and back stories, and a delightful ending. 

The emotional ties between the eclectic characters remained sound and tied the bunch into a proper family. 

I strongly recommend this book.


5 STARS

"Should some secrets go to the grave?"


The Deep, Deep Snow


by Brian Freeman


A story well-written story and smooth narration with developed characters, an interesting setting with a long history back story, and a nice hook in the beginning. 

The loyalty and strength of the town locals played against the uncertainty and evil that intrudes the serenity.

I enjoyed the natural surroundings that meshed into the plot and was also used to control the pace. The voice was entertaining and wholesome. The characters rang true while they dealt with personal choices, personality conflict, and sickness—things most people will relate to. 

This is a definite page turner, though I listened to the audio version. I recommend this story if you enjoy women sleuth crime stories with natural surroundings. Some moments will touch your heartstrings.

5 STARS
