Abandoned in Death
This started slowly for me. But Nora pulled me in as she does. It is a heart wrenching story, but I am pretty sensitive; maybe over sensitive. The regular (and often lovable) cast of characters are here and others we see now and then. I don't know if this is as enjoyable a read as a standalone. … [Read more...]
The Big Fear
I found this a brilliantly thought out plot, with gritty realism and imperfect characters. The big fear is that it is all quite terrifyingly plausible.
