It‘s a fake!!
Three little words, but words heard by everyone at the exhibit including a reporter.
How could this Picasso painting worth 500 million dollars be a fake?
Find out what happens in this slow-start read that speeds up when some evildoers come on the scene. So don‘t give up too soon.
Art fans and mystery fans will devour this book. 4/5

TODAY‘S PROMPT: DANGER
What a delightful read with delightful characters.
We meet housewives in the 1960s who say they are happy, but are they really?
When the neighborhood women gather together for a book club and read The Feminine Mystique by Betty Frieden, their bonds become stronger and some break out of their roles.
Hurray for these housewives and friendships women make!! 5/5

How could Hollie have passed by me and gotten out the door? She had on a huge butterfly costume that was hard to miss.
Elizabeth looked everywhere in the school but found nothing.
Sooo...why won‘t she call the police to help with her daughter‘s disappearance?
MY DAUGHTER IS MISSING is brutal and has a lot of violence, but the storyline will keep you reading. 4/5

A TRUE EVENT. It was part of the Earl Grey Scheme that took place in 1848.
The potato famine sent thousands of young women from Ireland to Australia for a new life.
They were told it was going to be a better life, but was it?
Enjoy the history lesson, the friendships that resulted, the descriptions of beautiful Australia, and especially Kate‘s journey. 5/5

Olivia Dumont is pretty much broke.
When she is asked to ghostwrite a book for none other than horror author Vincent Taylor who is her father she hasn‘t talked to for years, she has a difficult decision.
How will this all play out?
Find out in Ms. Clark‘s newest tense, pull-you-in read that started out slowly but ends with a bang. P4/5

The minute you begin reading you wonder who Ren is talking to because no one is there.
You then realize she is talking to her dead sister Margo - well Margo is talking to her telling her what to do.
WHISPERS FROM DEAD GIRLS is suspenseful and a bit creepy.

We meet Freya in 1930 in Berlin as she struggles to survive and as Hitler starts to get his power.
Then we meet Maddie in 2024, the great granddaughter of Freya, when she returns home to Los Angeles after an awful incident at work.
While helping her grandfather throw out things, Maddie finds a diary that her grandmother had written. What an incredible find!!
