Dead Line (Liz Carlyle, #4)Dead Line by Stella Rimington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just love reading about Liz. She's smart, clever and never seems to miss a clue. She also has great luck, as is pointed out near the end fo this book. The book is partly, or maybe mostly sloved based on a chance sighting. This is the only weak plot element in this complex and interesting story.

Ordinary GraceOrdinary Grace by William Kent Krueger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An interesting book, clever plot and well executed. I like the characters and the writing style. This is a book for book club and it would not have been a choice that I would have made. That said, I liked it. The plot was a bit too transparent. I guessed it early on and only wondered how the author would reveal the ending.

The HuntressThe Huntress by Kate Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kate Quinn is brilliant. True or not this is a story and a lesson. Its worth reading for its entertainment value but stick around for the history. Remarkably accurate in ways that really count. A lot to learn about here. Love, war and just about everything in between. Action that is pulse driving and love that is tender and warm. The bad guys are bad and the good guys are entertaining and brilliant, in their own way. I loved the Alice Network and this book is worthy nest book. I can't wait for her next novel. What a great talent.

Big Little LiesBig Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great book. What a wonderful storyteller Liane Moriarty is. A complex plot with complex and subtle characters who pull you through the story as if you know the people.
The topic is so worth discussion and the story leaves all kinds of paths to think about.
This was a book club book and the discussion was rich and significant to all of us. Abuse and bullying is so common that we tend to miss it when we should decry it.
