The Girl Without a NameThe Girl Without a Name by Suzanne Goldring
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this a lot. It gave me another chance to be transported back to England during the blitz and the after effects of the war. The character development was beautiful. I ate this up until the last third when I'd figured out the plot and wanted to know what happened to the people. Still I loved the writing and I'll read another of Suzanne Goldring's books next. (That is my greatest compliment!)

Confessions on the 7:45Confessions on the 7:45 by Lisa Unger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great read. A mystery, sexy novel, crime expose and family story all in one. No kidding, this book is the real deal. Easy to read, complicated at times, characters who have just enough heft to seem real and a story that is interesting and hard to put down.
Lisa Unger knows how to write. She handles the pieces of this story masterfully and seeps just enough clues to keep you interested and mentally begging for more. Its such a comfortable read that I did not want it to end.

Don't miss this book. Put it on your list.

The Guest ListThe Guest List by Lucy Foley
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

A book club selection that just never rang my bell. I found the characters uninspiring and flat. They were sort of charicatures of real people who I don't know. I still don't know them. The story was just about flawed people doing odd things to themselves and each other. Its rare for me to dislike a book but this one would have been put down after a chapter or two. Because it was for book club I slogged through it.
