Case Histories

CaseHistories.jpg

Case Histories, by Kate Atkinson revolves around three unsolved mysteries and how a not-so-savory PI unravles the tales that in the end are loosely tied together. I found it less of a 'who dunnit" and more of a character driven drama. None of the characters are sympathetic, and the actual facts of the cases are difficult to keep straight. There are a couple twists in the end. Overall I rate it a 5 out of 10.

Rashi's daughters

cover.jpg

Rashi's Daughters, is a new historial romance by a very talented author, Maggie Anton (aka my mother). It is hard for me to be an objective critic, but I will say it was a fast read and a good story. I also know the author has put alot of time and effort into researching the historial details and getting the novel published. So please pick up a copy, and BTW - I know how to get it autographed for you.
