My review of
The Amish Quiltmaker's Unruly In-Law
3 and a half stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Probably the weakest book in an otherwise good series -
Die Last by Tony Parsons ⭐⭐⭐.3 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Kelsey is bubbly when they move into their new (to them) house, but Lauren is freaking out about being watched from The Other Side of the Road. I enjoyed thriller writer Andrea Bartz's suspenseful story and the ending I didn't expect.
My review of The Other Side of the Road
The Secret Daughter of Venice
by Juliet Greenwood and my five star review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
