Rating:  Summary: keeps you guessing for the real criminal Review: excellent, however a little "Harlequin-ish" and melodramatic. Could have had the heroine and hero either live together or marry. Disappointed with the ending because of this.
Rating:  Summary: Boring, predictable and mis-categorized as a mystery Review: This was the most disappointing book I've ever purchased!!! The story was so predictable and boring. I knew who the murderer was soon after the initial appearance, the motive was not worth waiting for. Tami Hoag reads like Rosemary Rogers or Danielle Steel. Not at all what I was expecting based on the comparison to Patricia Cornwell on the book's jacket.
Rating:  Summary: Not great but very good Review: This is my first Tami Hoag book and it kept my interest all the way. A good romance and a few corpses' to keep you guessing until the very end.
Rating:  Summary: Very good book... Review: I think some people put too much into not liking books..they can't enjoy it. I thought this book was very good...a little cheesy on who commited the murder and why, but other than that..I loved it. It took me a while to start it..but once I got into it, couldn't put it down.
Rating:  Summary: One of my favorite by Hoag Review: I loved it and immediately went out to buy all the rest by Hoag
Rating:  Summary: One-dimensional characters; adolescent dialogue; weak plot Review: I couldn't suffer through more than 64 pages of Tami Hoag's "Still Waters." Talk about misleading covers and "blurbs." A Harlequin Romance-type cover would realistically reflect the contents of the book and saved me $5.25. The dialogue is adolescent, the characters are weak, ineffectual and irritatingly boring (do adult women still "roll their eyes"?) I was so disgusted with the characterizaton that I paid little attention to the plot. There was one, wasn't there?This was my first and last Tami Hoag book!
Rating:  Summary: Read like someone other than Tami Hoag wrote the thing Review: I have read a number of Tami Hoag mysteries, and was looking forward to enjoying another. Still Waters read like a warmed over Sidney Sheldon....not anything like what I expected from past novels of hers. Can't recommend this to anyone!
Rating:  Summary: disappointed Review: I was VERY disappointed. I had been told Tami Hoag was a great mystery writer. This was my first book by her and couldn't believe this garbage was appealing to anyone. I didn't even care who the killer was by the end. No surprises really either. I am afraid to read any of her other books in fear of more disappointment.
Rating:  Summary: IRON RANGER comments Review: I just finished reading Still Waters. It was neat reading something that was based in Minnesota EXCEPT I would like to invite Tami Hoag to the Iron Range. I would like to comment that we have more than wolves and people on the dole in Northern MN. Although the taconite industry has had it's ups and downs, my husband and many others make a very decent living here working in the mines. Otherwise, the book was pretty interesting.
Rating:  Summary: Slightly entertaining, but very cheezy. Review: This was my first book by Hoag, and probably my last. Even though the story was entertaining, I could tell exactly what was going to happen and who the murderer was. It seemed as if I was reading one of those cheezy Sunday 9:00 movies. (The ones with just a bit of sex and violence, so they come on just as the little ones are going to bed.)
