lots of action

Her best novel yet packed with suspense and slapstick humor! Stephanie and Diesel are a great team!

I liked the pictures

This was a hard and beautiful book. I enjoyed learning about Korean cuisine. Michelle is a brave daughter taking care of her mom while pursuing her dreams as a musician. Her mom's strength and love rekindled their difficult relationship and creating lasting memories. As a family caregiver, I understood Michelle's pain and determination to keep family traditions alive forever. Tears of love cried in the Korean spa speak for themselves as she carries her mom's legacy in her heart and embraces her true self. Her mom's dream came true!

Great narration, interesting story and characterizations, but I didn't love this as much as many others did.

For book club! Disturbing and creepy!

Lost on her way to a book club retreat, Elsy Merriwether seeks refuge in the magical upstate NY town of Eloraton, where the burgers are slightly burnt, the taffy sweet, and nothing ever changes. I loved this author’s previous book, The Seven Year Slip, but I didn’t connect with any of the characters in this book. The premise was cute - discovering and living in the town of your favorite book series - but it had a the feeling of a groundhog’s day with repetitive characters and their kitsch. And there was zero chemistry between the two love interests. I really liked the ending. I wish the entire book had that energy.

Cute mystery. Did not figure out killer.

I couldn’t put this down! It was on the recommended list, and while I don’t read a lot of mysteries or thrillers, I’m a sucker for a time loop story. I ended up recommending it to my husband! It really kept me guessing the whole time.

the first in a murder mystery series featuring Lara Hansen...who steps in as a tour director as a favor to a friend. This story is set as a New Year's Eve trip to Budapest. There are currently 6 books in the series each set in a new country and at a different holiday. Quick, enjoyable read with lots of interesting details about the country they are visiting.
