Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-07 00:00:00 Nuha Al Khalili Sara Paretsky was one of the very first serial mystery fiction authors I began reading after Agatha Christie. I enjoyed her realistic slice of the harsh life with hardcore characters and a very strong female protagonist. I wasn't concerned over whether she'd do well writing a non-mystery, non-serial fiction novel; however, I was concerned whether I'd actually like it, but rest assured, there's no reason to be worried. She spins quite a tale in this fiction work. The characters are quite vivid and come from very strong families that very likely existed in this country years ago. For those who like to test their authors in different genres, this is a case of a successful transition. It carries over all the things you'll love about a family drama with an air of mystique. About Me For those new to me or my reviews... here's the scoop: I read A LOT. I write A LOT. And now I blog A LOT. First the book review goes on Goodreads, and then I send it on over to my WordPress blog at , where you'll also find TV & Film reviews, the revealing and introspective 365 Daily Challenge and lots of blogging about places I've visited all over the world. And you can find all my social media profiles to get the details on the who/what/when/where and my pictures. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. Vote in the poll and ratings. Thanks for stopping by.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-30 00:00:00 Bradley Calcaterra This library book interweaves present day Kansas with Kansas of the 1850s in the Kaw river valley, site of the Lawrence 1863 massacre by Quantrill and his raiders. They murdered hundreds of people. Descendants of the free settlers are the focus of the present day story, the Schapens and the Grelliers. The Schapens are self righteous bullies and the Grelliers try to get along with everyone. Then a woman by the name of Gina Haring arrives. She is a Wiccan and the ultra conservative Schapens call her a witch and start harassing her. There is also a Romeo and Juliet love story and a final climactic scene with a terrible fire. This book was published in 2008 and some of hate can be glimpsed in one word:"feminazi(p.300)."
