I have a feeling my opinion is going to be much higher than those of you who are mystery novel buffs who may read this book when it comes out. But it would probably be the same as those of you who read books and have the ability to critically analyze them.

The Bay at Midnight was cliche, jumpy, and easily predictable. The characters were two demensional at best, and the story line was thin and lacking in certain places. It jumped characters, perspectives, and times much more often then...more

Mystery writer Julie Bauer is surprised when the daughter of a childhood friend turns up on her doorstep, bringing with her evidence that the man convicted of killing Julie's sister years ago might have been innocent.

Combines mystery and romantic suspense. Well-drawn, emotional characters and lots of family relationship issues. Highly recommend.

Ok, finished this one in less than a week. I swear I felt like I was there in 1962 at the Jersey Shore. Really enjoyed this one. She keeps you guessing right up until the end!

Surprisingly good! I would never have chosen it, but I am thinking about using another of the author's books for my bookclub and wanted to find out her style. I read it in two days because I was dying to find out what would happen!

This was a pretty well written book, but a little corny and predictable. The mystery aspect was good though.
