Yes ... I read another book tied to As the World Turns. It all starts at one of the biggest events of the year. The hospital is hosting a major gala to recognize a local famil for many, many years of financial support. The Marron family is one of the wealthiest in America, but they have nothing on the rest of the people in Oakdale. It really becomes clear when Gregory Marron, Jr arrives, not-so-fashionably late. When he goes to step out of his limo, he ends up collapsing. He is dead of poisoning...more
I personally did not know that this book was based off a Soap...if I had of known that, I probably would have never read the book! That being said, the book was alright...there were quite a few drama moments in it and the "who did it" question came up a lot! 2 of the 3 main characters kinda sounded like they had been around the block a time or two, and I could never keep up with who there lover was now.

It was nice to o home to Oakdale. It was a fun mystery read with all my old fiends. It was nice to have Nancy as a major player. I wish more of the older charaters had had more than just a mention. Carley, Jack, Henry, and Katie are center stage in this enjoyable romp around the familiar haunts of Oakdale from Snyder pond to Al's diner.
I thought this was an interesting book and the mystery part was pretty good. I didn't know it was based off of a soap opera, but it was pretty interesting. It wasn't predictable, which is pretty hard to do with a murder mystery, so that's why I liked it. It was a quick read, which is why I liked it.
This is a book based on a soap I watch. I enjoyed the mystery of it, but it was not a real thriller. Also, it was difficult for me to get into it in the beginning, because I knew all the characters. Over all - an ok read, but not one I would run out to pick up.
Saw this at the library and read it on a whim. Still love Maddie and Henry after all these years (and in any format!).
I love my soap opera's.
This is a typical soap opera mystery, who done it !!
It is a fun book to read.

Yes, I love this book. Yes, I watch As the World Turns almost daily. Yes, I am gay. So what?
Easy read. Didn't love it, but didn't hate it.
If you like soaps this is it.
