Tana French is a word smith and I just love how she lingers over a description till I can remember it long after I put the book down. It's a psychologcial triller without all the gore and violence.

Let me add th...I agree with the review posted here. Let me add that I went online to try and email Mr. King himself, such was the enormous level of my frustration at the "non-ending" of this book. The author spends the 180 plus pages setting up a seemingly impossible to solve mystery and then just leaves it that way. Which left me frustrated, annoyed and feeling ripped off of the few hours of my life I wasted reading the piece of junk. King tries the old "it's about the journey not the destination" line in the afterword - but that is what LIFE is like... and the whole point of reading a book (for me at least) is to ESCAPE life for a time. Escape yourself - don't pick up this waste of paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012909.post-4294047052367970052011-06-13T07:33:42.252-04:002011-06-13T07:33:42.252-04:00Hi Lourdes,

Sisters in Crime meeting ~ so glad you have found us!<br /><br />This is a terrific interview with Douglas. I was privileged to meet him at Bouchercon in San Francisco last fall, while he served on a panel with RJ Ellory, Hilary Davidson, Brad Parks, with Jen Forbus moderating. What a treat to be in that audience!<br /><br />I visited Hawaii in 1994, and it would be a dream to revisit. It is by far one of the most beautiful places on earth -- if not the most! People applaud when the sun goes down, it is such an awesome sight. <br /><br />Best wishes to Douglas with NIGHT ON FIRE. It sounds great! All the publicity in Hawaii is super!Kathleen A.

Other book group members can take advantage of my offer to chat for free with reading groups by going to popejoan.com and clicking on the "book group" link. <br /><br />Also, anyone in the Washington, D.C. area and surrounds might want to know that there is a showing of the movie version of Pope Joan at the Landmark E Street theater on January 27th. This is a one-night event only, so tickets may go fast. Info can be found at popejoan.com. <br /><br />Thanks again for your support of Pope Joan--in my view, an inspirational woman!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784845164775607037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012909.post-32299188660967757822010-01-09T14:59:53.102-05:002010-01-09T14:59:53.102-05:00I was just reading about Louise Penny on so many 2...I was just reading about Louise Penny on so many 2009 top lists on 4 MA and only when I saw your synopsis did I realize I had read 2 or 3 of them and did really like the village and the whole set up.
