Valley of the Shadow

Rating:
Summary: Good book!
Review: Boy I wish I could think of the fast comebacks Meg did! She cracked me up, never missed a beat. The mystery was a little lacking but the comedy (Meg's mother for example) made up for it. I did have some unanswered questions though. Why did Clay marry Becky? Why did they get divorced and why did he pay her so much to get out of the marriage? How did Meg and Clay leave things between them when she left town? Oh well, guess we never get all the answers but definitely an enjoyable book.

Summary: Charlotte Hughes is awesome!
Review: I chanced upon these older books written by C. Hughes before she started writing her comedy romance books. I LOVED them! This book was suspenseful and thrilling with a touch of her humor rolled into the plot. Although the book was scary, I still found myself smiling at some of Hughes' slight humor. I do think you would love these and I wish Ms. Hughes would write more of these types of books. I am currently reading Night Kills (another one of her early suspense novels--it is excellent, also) this is such a talented author! I am tempted to write her website begging her to write more like these! Maybe my wish will come true!

Summary: I didn't finish it
Review: I enjoyed the author's sense of humor, but found it grating after a while. The characters did not seem real to me. Instead, they were overdone and somewhat stereotypical. It felt like the main character was trying too hard to amuse us with her witty take on everything. I hate not to finish a book that I have purchased, but I gave up on it. The storyline definitely had potential, but I wouldn't recommend this for people who prefer more serious suspense novels.

Review: I really enjoyed this book. Hughes does good work with her characters; they were realistic and believable. Her style really flows. I just read and read until I finished and then I wanted more. I highly recommend it.
