Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: I found this book in my family's bookcase. I had never heard of the title or the author before, but I thought I'd try it. It started slowly, but it was still interesting. By the time I got to the third chapter, I couldn't put the book down. Just when you think you've figured it out, there's a new twist. I recommend it.

Summary: Nancy Drew meets Ally Mcbeal!
Review: I was so disappointed in this book! I used to love Phyllis Whitney so much about 10 years ago. But after reading Patricia Cromwell, Robert Mccammon, and M C Beaton, I just cannot go back to the black and white morals and predictability of Whitney's plots. I think if she just wrote romance, we would be more entertained, for this she does well. But the suspense part of her stories are just, well, lacking of.

Summary: Boring, put me to sleep!
Review: WHAT ROMANCE?! Hollis Husband DIED before the book even started, she goes away to find CLUES to his death, upon a weird invitation only a moron would accept,let alone STAY in the Mansion as long as she did. She went MONTHS with NO lock on her bedroom door! HOW DUMB to begin with?! I was expecting ROMANCE, when I bought a ROMANCE Novel. There was a LITTLE bit of susspense, Birdy the maid had a BAD attitude and was a VERY undesirable character, I would have FIRED her, theres only ONE or TWO unromantic kisses in this book,No sex, which HARDLY qualifies for a ROMANCE NOVEL! Most of the characters were boring and/or hostile. Except HOLLIS, but she was DUMB! AS a woman,I HATE books that make women look dumb, especially, the LEAD character! The so-called climax in chapter 20 was, YEAH! lol, about as boring and predictable as a Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys episode! Or lets just say "A box office Flop" The end of the book, chapter 21, explains "What happend to all these characters, several years later" even THAT was a big dissapointment to, yeah, I put this book down MANY times. I buy many books from either... thrift shops/yard sales,book store sales, by MANY authors. I never HEARD of the Author, or read anything BY her, so in all fairness, It's THIS book I DO NOT recommend, if she's written 88 books, she can't be all that bad, right? But this one is DEFINATELY a flop. We all have our bad days in life, I'm just glad I got the book on sale for 25 cents, sometimes you get what you pay for.
