I enjoyed the fashion clue and the main character's detective skills. One of the main mysteries remained unsolved for me.

This was a 4 tear read for me as well. Connie Cox fed Dr. Cynical's life in a little at a time to explain and not excuse his apparent brisk bedside manner.

I enjoyed this book because Mary Claire Mahaney kept her character true to her beliefs. Nice to read in some of the contemporary world. Her love of sushi was descriptive to say the least. I recommend this book as an engaging full story about an older...more

I'm reviewing some books by tears. This was a 4 tear book. I read it beside a pool on holiday and scrubbed at tears because Fiona Harper had me engaged with her characters.

I read this book because I read a review which stated that George V. Higgins was a master of story telling with dialogue. This story does have mostly dialogue. And it is well told.

I enjoyed reading Emily's growing relationship with Trevor the obvious "Forgotten Child" but also Brad the man who realized that he needed his parents, especially his Dad.

I enjoyed this book because it was written about an age group that are sometimes forgotten. Although couples in their retirement age are expected to act a certain way does not mean that they will and the characters in this book, break the stereotypes.
