Booker nominee 2018...

Fun. Humorous at times. Kept me going...Booker worthy - no! I’ve read better.

3.5 out of 5 stars. Rounded up due to the last half of the book...I did enjoy the repartee.

And??..."


Just finished it last night, Elyse. An enjoyable read...but Booker nominee? Some humorous part though...

The farm to dinner was terrific. A very relaxing evening. No music at this one however. Turns out the veggies were the most outstanding dishes of the night!

Jenna ❤ ❀  ❤ Glad it had its redeeming qualities with the repertoire.


message 12: by Kaceey (new) - added it

Kaceey Glad you at least enjoyed the last half of the book Paula! I’ve had this one sitting on my shelf...maybe it will stay there a bit longer! Hope you love your next read!🤗💖


Richard (on hiatus) I agree very much with your review Paula ....... as a straight forward, quite amusing thriller it was fine - it was just strange to find it on the Booker list.

Snap was entertaining, Jenna. Some humorous dialogue.

Thanks, Kaceey.! There are two police officers in the book that have such different personalities that added to the enjoyment of the book as their characters developed more as the book went on.

Thank you, Richard. It was amusing. I chuckled a few times when the police officers didn’t want to report what they knew or had done during the investigation!

Barbara I am familiar with those 3- 3.5 books - not a waste of time, but so many better out there. Thanks for your honest review, Paula.

Appreciate your kind words, Barbara!


Carol I agree with your honest review, Paula. I was so excited to read this author that I downloaded 3 of her novels. This one was just okay for me.

JanB Paula, Sometimes I wonder how certain books get nominated. I've had this in my tbr for a long while but I'm in no hurry no read it. Thanks for an honest and fair review!

Thanks, Carol. I hope her other 2 books you downloaded are better!

You are welcome, Jan. It is such a hit or miss on nominated books. Usually the Booker is a pretty good indicator for decent books, but not always!
