The Obsession (Nora Roberts) was more on romance than the suspense. I knew right away that it was ______ who was stalking her. It was because… Read the book if you want to know what happened. This for me, is almost like a feel-good book with a little dark side.
3.5 stars
Although I found the plot likable, there were some things in it that made me question the time the story happened. It certainly felt like it did happen back in the 50’s.
Archie is like a geyser with so much energy and adventure-seeking spirit in him that is just waiting to come out. Lucy’s ability to reach out to others is in a way endearing. Or not,
Anyway, what I liked better was Lavinia and John’s story unfolding after 50 years. i teared up a bit when John’s letter was read:
“So I am left with nothing but to wish you happiness, my darling, to hope that any hurt I engendered healed quickly, that someone worthy of you won your heart and made you happy. If I were a better man I would hope that you forgot me. But I am not. I hope you remembered me, infrequently but kindly, because I know every day for the rest of my life I will have thought of you.”
Raining Cat Sitters and Dogs by Blaize Clement. I like the storyline though Dixie is not too nosy like the other main characters of cozy mysteries. I also like it that the romance part is slowly developing. I hope to read other installments of this series.
Cappuccinos, Cupcakes and a Corpse by Harper Lin, a Cape Bay Cafe Mystery
This book was an easy read, good for summer afternoons or cool evenings when you have a hankering to read somethinbg light. For me though, it comes a bit short with other cozy mystery plots.
Bun for Your Life by Karoline Barrett
Molly Tyler and Sean Corsino, bakery owner and detective, respectively, solving Calista’s murder in small town pop Destiny, NY. Love the setting and cozy mystery ingredients that I like are all there.
