Magnolia Nights

Magnolia Nights by Ashley Farley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Ashley Farley has written an unusual story about life in the South from the perspective of three people. There is Ellie, Ashton, and Abbot. There is a mystery to be solved, but not a crime per se. The mystery is what a pathological liar can do to their lives. One can't expound on that because it would give a lot of the plot away. A psychopathic grandmother plays a huge role. One will hate her in an instant. The book is well written. It draws you in. One picks it up to read and a few hours later, the reader finds that the story has come to the end without realizing that it has. One feels the tension and heartaches that the characters are going through. This is a must read and hopefully there will be some sort of sequel.

Perfectly Good Crime

Perfectly Good Crime by Dete Meserve

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Very interesting novel. It is a cross between a crime drama and Women's Fiction. The story is decidedly different than most crime dramas. Can't say much about the crime because the ending would be easy to give away. The main character is fully developed and one can relate to what she is going through with the crime, her boyfriend, the choices she has to make, and her father. The plot keeps you interested from beginning to end. Rest assured you won't be sorry that you read this.

Drawing Lessons by Patricia Sands

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is my first book that I have read of Patricia Sands, although I connect with her through her newsletter and Facebook page. I needed tissues to get through the story. It isn't in the least bit depressing, but sad in parts and very hopeful in others. One can travel the area of France that the book is set in through the main character. You can smell the flowers and the food in reality, I swear. The descriptions are enlightening. The characters are real. The book is '"magnifique'" or would that be "tres magnifique"? One can't put it down. You will enjoy this novel.
