panI had higher hopes for this but it really missed the mark. Too many story lines, slow to build, and it really barely had to do with obituaries at all. The romance, if you can call it that, was forced and unnatural. I picked this for the title and premise, especially in October but it just fell flat. Book #69 in 2023

This was a delightful change of pace from my usual reads. I love Me Before You, and the sequels, so I thought I'd give another of Moyes' novels a try. I was a tiny bit thrown by a change of pace just past the halfway mark, but it all evened out and made for an enjoyable read.
pickAt first I was unsure, but I like a good mystery so I stuck it out and got lucky. I also like an unreliable narrator more than most and this book has several narrators! A few hard turns at the end made for a good one! Betrayal, control, mental health and criminal activity made for a great recipe! Book#69 in 2022
pickBook 8 in the Bookmobile Cat Mystery series and I'm finally getting to really like the characters. Minnie still does (and says) a lot of ridiculous things but at least Rafe, Ash and Kristen are a bit more logical. #69-2022
pickSet in the 1940′s, this is a remarkable story that highlights the lack of justice during that time (even though the justice system today has a LONG way to go). This book shows how important it is to stay true to yourself. To never give someone else the opportunity to take and shatter your personal dignity; that you came into this world alone and, unavoidably, you will leave the exact same way. Book #69 in 2021
