I chose this book because it was free on Amazon Prime Reading. It was pretty good. Jane has lost pretty much everything, her friend Otis offers her a job tutoring his boss's daughter at a beautiful cottage with a fantastic view. Evan Rochester has been accused of murdering his wife. Will Jane be able to feel comfortable with him and his daughter? Jane hears things at night! Is it the Ghost of Evan's wife? It was an interesting read, not my typical type of read but good nonetheless.

This book is a great read whether you're familiar with Alan Cummings or not. In addition to his other skills as an actor and performer, Cummings is an excellent writer and an even better storyteller. I highly recommend the audiobook, read by Cummings himself, as the best way to take in this sad, funny, honest and very engrossing memoir.

Very good story, shows how far bravery can take you. Also demonstrates how judgmental people can be, and why it is bad for society.

If I could I would say 3 and a half, it is a good book with action and suspense, but it doesn't completly follow the rules of the real game.

This was a great book of suspense! It has an interesting story line which kept me coming back for more - one of those books that I was excited to find out what was going to happen next. I loved that there were some unpredictable twists. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers or suspense novels.

The books centers around Catherine always wondering what would have happened if she had a baby with her teen love. She thinks she missed out on a life of love and happiness, but does not realize the extent of the betrayal by her lover and her friend carried on throughout their marriage. The books drags in the middle with way too much description about the music career of Jimmy and could have had more of a focus on the emotions Jimmy experiences during the loss of his marriage.

I'm clearly missing something with this book, because the entire time I read it all I kept thinking was "there is no way this author is an actual human being." The book takes place over the span of 11 years. In most chapters, we follow Kate and Meredith, two neighbors living in a town where a woman named Shelby has just gone missing. Meredith, a doula with two children named Delilah and Leo, has started receiving threatening text messages from an unknown number. Shortly after, her and her daughter disappear. The book centers around what was going on with Meredith prior to her disappearance, with Kate providing insight into what happened after she disappeared. Set eleven years later, there are also chapters from Leo's point of view, where we get to see what it's like to have your sister suddenly return after being gone for eleven years. There are just so many reasons why this book didn't work at all. The biggest of them all is that it is poorly written. As an example of what you can expect, this is how the author thinks someone would describe potentially seeing figures outside of a house a few weeks before the occupants went missing - "It was dark out," Cassandra says, "a moonless night. The streetlight outside has been out a month or two. My husband, Marty, called the city about it a while ago, but it still hasn't been fixed. Our tax dollars...hard at work. The only light came from whatever porch lights were left on overnight." Yeah. Because when my neighbor turns up missing and I think I may have seen some strange figures skulking about their house, I'm definitely going to be remembering that it was a moonless night. Everyone else in the book is just as poor at their job. The pathologist couldn't correctly figure out how someone died. The police openly lied about evidence and just sort of hoped no one would ever question them or figure it out. A woman running a daycare is completely unaware of the abuse happening there - and then the mother just doesn't even care?? Who finds out their kid is being abused and is just like "eh, I better send them back the next day or they'll get soft." Are there no other daycares?? The final thing I'll mention is that the ending is completely bonkers. I guess if you're going to commit murder, this is the town to do it in - apparently no one is ever around to watch people murder people and then drag their bodies into their cars.

It was good. It left me on a cliffhanger at the end

Third book in the Rock Harbor series. Continue loving the characters and the lives they have entwined me into. I feel like I know the characters and care about what happens in their lives. In this book, Bree's dog Samson gets kidnapped and she tries to find him using the other dogs she is training. She doesn't give up and uses prayer and support of her family to help her get through this tough time.

I listened to this book, read by the author. It is a letter to his mother telling her how he viewed his childhood with her. She is Vietnamese and brought him up in America alongside her own mother. His American father was aware but not involved in his upbringing. His mother is quite abusive to him and he also has a relationship with a boy called Trevor so it is quite a difficult book to listen to, but beautifully written.
