Looming Murder by Carol Ann  Martin
" This book has just two flaws:

1) The opening chapter, while it does introduce readers to the leading characters (though we do not officially meet the future murder victim until much later) there is a good deal of rambling. Chapter two rambles as w... "

"Ditto. Loved that one, also If Tomorrow Comes, Rage of Angels and The Other Side of Midnight. "
Scorpio Rising by Monique Domovitch
" "Surprising and engrossing". This pocket-sized epic is very reminiscent of Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth, but yet so much better. I cannot wait to download the next book. "
