I read this book years ago and just came across it again while moving some books from storage. It was so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. That was really an evil war. ]]> ReadStatus8429822284 Fri, 20 Sep 2024 11:48:51 -0700 <![CDATA[Su wants to read 'Tell Me Everything']]> /review/show/6862543832 Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout Su wants to read Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout

I have read each of Housewright’s earlier books and loved and devoured each of them. But I absolutely could not get into this story line. I’m sure his next novel will be as good for me as all his previous ones had been! ]]> Rating747719473 Thu, 11 Jul 2024 12:24:52 -0700 <![CDATA[Su Hafner liked a review]]> /
Su liked Katie’s Bookshelf's review of Man in the Water (Mac McKenzie #21):
Man in the Water by David Housewright
&ܴdz;2⭐️

I tried to push through with this one but had to DNF at 40%. There was just nothing holding my attention.
Maybe that's my fault- I thought this would be a thrilling murder mystery and it turned out to be neither. What it was was an investigation into a seemingly straightforward drowning and a insurance fraud case. I think the main character McKenzie was meant to have a dry, sarcastic sense of humour but to me it just read a total lack of personality

Giving it a two star because it was well written and researched.

Thank you to Netgalley and publishing team for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. "

As usual, her book is filled with an even amount of drama and humor. They do indeed make for great summer reads. ]]>
