A Comedy of Terrors by Lindsay Davis

When rancid nuts begin making Romans sick just as Saturnalia starts, Flavia Albia, her husband Tiberius and their quirky household staff set out to investigate who is eliminating the competition in light snacks. They uncover an unhappy wife, a double dealing nephew, some mob bosses and lots of shady characters. Another great mystery novel by Lindsey Davis set in classical Rome. ~ Mary R.

I wanted to like this book, but could not. It felt rushed and the story line did not necessarily reflect the summary. It lacked details. Frankly, it was a good idea but a boring execution.
~ Miriam V.







The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

The Paris Wife is the story of Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley. Their love story is rich in intensity, friendships, travel and booze. Paula McLain does a superb job with her writing. I was pulled in from the first page. I now need to go back and read some of Hemingway’s books as I think I’ll interpret them differently after reading about his life.
~ Lisa G.




Jack Reacher prevails again! A thrilling read.
~ Sandra B.
