Summary: Gripping!
Review: I just finished this book and it was a great read. I was totally immersed in the characters and setting within 20 pages and then just didn't want to put it down! I am already anxiously awaiting the next installment in the Sophia Gold series!

Summary: great read
Review: I was thoroughly entertained by this book. The story line kept me guessing until the final pages (which not that many mysteries accomplish). The characters were well drawn, their relationship real. I was impressed by the level of writing from this clearly talented young author.

Summary: Mystery Novel Novice
Review: Not having much experience or interest in suspense books, I throughly enjoyed this one. It kept me gripped and guessing all the way to the end, as well as up WAY past my bed time (and I am the mother of a 10 month old baby and desperately need my sleep!). Looking forward to Sophia Gold's future adventures.

Summary: A Quarry Worth Mining
Review: This is a terrific first novel by Jenny Kanevsky. It is a compelling read that commands your attention; indeed, I had to read the entire book in one sitting. Well-drawn characters in a vivid Philadelphia, the story engages the reader on a number of levels. The novel explores class tensions, multiple sexual dynamics, the life of a female sleuth, and of course demands that you complete the novel to discover "who did it and why". The characters and their relations are so vivid that one is left asking questions about their lives post resolution. Let us hope that Ms. Kanevsky brings the lead sleuth, and members of her retinue to life in a second novel.

Summary: Sophia Gold is to blame for my messy house
Review: Very few things cause me to forget my 'to do' list -- but this book did. The leaves piled up, dust bunnies roamed and dinner waited until I could finish the book to find out whodunnit.
