As a latecomer to the works of Frances Fyfield, I decided to start with her first West/Bailey mystery. What a remarkable author. The character descriptions are formidable, the plot good enough but not really that important. It's the whole pyschology of the book that really makes it impossible to put down. I can't wait to start her next one! (This book can be found in out of print stock).

A Birthday Celebration Not to be Missed
Rating  (4)
Date: 2008-01-26
1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful
Cora Felton's birthday is coming, and the citizens of Bakerhaven are going to give their most famous citizen a party whether she wants it or not. Bur Cora's focus isn't on avoiding her birthday (she doesn't celebrate any more). Instead, it's on the old case she's be hired to investigate.
Lawyer Becky Baldwin has asked Cora to look into a 20 year old murder case. Darryl Daigue was convicted of the crime but still says he's innocent. Darryl's sister has hired the lawyer to see if there is reasonable doubt about his guilt.
Cora has barely started investigating before she is told to drop the case. Considering she didn't think there was any evidence worth pursuing, that intrigues her. A little more poking around produces a suspicious accident. Then, someone starts following her. Why all this interest in a case that is so old?
Fans of this series know what to expect, and this book is more of the same. The witty banter between the character had me laughing the entire way through. Cora has given up drinking, but her smoking seemed more obnoxious, at least at the beginning. The supporting cast isn't given as much to do in this book, but I found Cora plenty entertaining on her own. There are cross word puzzles included, but they are related to a sub-plot and not a part of the mystery.
The book does have one flaw, the ending. The story is so convoluted that it is hard to keep track of everyone's motives. And the ending is especially weak. It does make sense, although I had to read the last few chapters twice to make sure I understood. It's almost like the author had so much fun constructing the mystery that he forgot he had to end it somehow.
To be honest, I had so much fun with this book I really didn't care. There were so many great moments, it's hard to complain too much about the ending. So if you are a fan of this series, plan to read this book.

I've read all of the puzzle lady novels and have enjoyed them all, but this one is not up to par. First, the cursing has escalated both in frequency and severity. Before, it was an occasional "he-- or sh--", but now it's gone to more unexceptable ones & pops up much more often. This one is also too much about Cora. There is very little interaction w/the people who make the stories good. Her antics are way over the top & the solution is one that the reader couldn't possibly see coming. That's not all bad, I suppose, but it needs to have some line to follow & this is way out there. I'm about to start the next one, but if this style keeps up, it will be the last.

Enlisted to investigate whether reasonable doubt exists that repugnant Darryl Daigue actually committed the murder he was convicted of 20 years ago, Cora "The Puzzle Lady" Felton stirs up one hornets nest after another in "And a Puzzle to Die On." It's the sixth in Parnell Hall's series featuring Felton and the regular gang in Bakershaven, Connecticut, and if you've enjoyed any of Hall's previous novels you'll no doubt like this one.
This is a cozy with a slight edge: The violence is muted; the dialogue is pretty tame by crime novel standards; but Cora is a chain-smoking, foul-mouthed (compared to most cozy characters) old broad with an attitude. The fun is following along from one riotous chapter to the next, listening to the banter among the characters, getting lost in a comic misadventure that's light as air. If you enjoy that kind of thing -- and Hall is quite adept at carrying readers along on a wild ride with few hard bumps or crash landings -- this book is for you. You'll be able to ignore the implausible, hopelessly convoluted plot that exists solely to puzzle the reader. After finishing the book, I still wasn't sure what had happened -- but I didn't care all that much. Hall had entertained me for a few hours.
I had read the first in this series, "A Clue For the Puzzle Lady," and after reading this most recent entry, I'll go ahead and read the others. As a rule, I don't enjoy cozies. But Hall has a nice touch and a good sense of pacing, and this series provides a welcome change of pace for a reader who usually prefers a crime novel with a harder edge and bleaker vision.
One side note: A glaring error in the dust jacket copy has me wondering if the folks at Bantam even read the book. The copy twice refers to Bakersfield instead of Bakershaven.

deliciously convoluted amateur sleuth mystery
Rating (5)
Date: 2004-10-27
2 out of 2 customers found this reveiw helpful
She is known as the puzzle lady but it is really her publicity shy niece who is the puzzle constructor. Cora's favorite pastime is solving real life murder mysteries, which is why she agrees to lawyer Becky Baldwin's proposition. Becky wants Cora to find out if convicted murderer Daryl Daigue really killed seventeen year old Anita Dryer two decades ago. Depending on what Cora digs up, Becky will decide whether she wants to take the case.
Sara visits Darryl in prison; he acts like a criminal but insists that he was working at the time Anita was killed and he was covering for Ricky Gleason, the actual killer. Before leaving the prison, Warden Profack subtly warns Cora not to work on Darryl's case. Sara find that admonition suspicious and keeps digging which leads to her being followed by a private detective who is murdered at Cora's birthday party. Later, someone throws a rock through her window and she is arrested for absconding with a toy poodle that belongs to a woman who was also murdered because she had something that the killer wanted. The truth about who hired Becky and the two murders comes out when Cora has her day in court.
AND A PUZZLE TO DIE ON is a deliciously convoluted amateur sleuth mystery in which everyone connected to the case has a hidden agenda. The protagonist is in fine form as she breaks into offices and homes, steals what turn out to be significant, winds up spending a night in jail, and refuses to conform to court etiquette. Parnell Hall has written a complex who-done-it that has the requisite number of red herrings and misleading clues.

Kudos to Nora Roberts - I bought the audio book because of the long commute i was experiencing with my previous job and because of this book along with a few others of hers, i enjoyed every second of my ride! to the point i would still be listening to it even after i arrive to my destination.
If you haven't read this book because your hesitant, then go for it, it's worth every penny and every minute of your spare time!

Classic Nora!
Rating (4)
Date: 2009-07-29
Every time I see a Nora Roberts novel that I haven't read, I grab it. I know that traditionally Robert's novels offer romance, suspense and easy to follow plots, and this was no exception.
The story begins with infant, Jessica Cullen stolen from her stroller while her family tried to take Christmas pictures with Santa. Distracted for a moment by her distraught son, Suzanne is devastated to find her daughter is missing without a trace. Faced with grief and guilt, Suzanne eventually separates from her husband but starts a successful baking career. Imagine after several years of disappointing leads her excitement when she turns on the news to see a woman who reminds her of herself and her missing daughter Jessica. Enters, Callie Dunbrook, archaeologist extraordinaire, has been summoned to a "find" at Antietam Creek, the site of future homes. Faced with the fact that her whole life may have been a lie and she may be the infant taken years earlier, Callie must re-evaluate her entire life, and solve the mystery of who took her and why. Sent to assist Callie on their most recent discovery is Jake Graystone, Callie's estranged ex-husband who intends to woo her back. With support from Jake and a host of other supporting characters (a widowed attorney with a child, Lana; a newly discovered big brother, Doug), Callie is determined to discover the truth. As deaths start to plague the site, Callie and Jake soon realize that her abduction could be the catalyst of all recent events.
I enjoyed this Roberts novel and would definitely recommend it to readers who like romance and suspense. It's a quick and easy read and has just the tight amount of twists and turns to keep you guessing, and a nice well wrapped up ending. I would suggest this Robert novel to all those that traditionally enjoy her works.

It was great...of course. Roberts never lets you down. Everytime you pick up one of her books you already know the outcome; you're going to get romance, mystery, comedy and a well researched plot, of course there are never really any surprises, but that's ok by me...I know I'll always get my money's worth!

Nora Roberts is every reader's Birthright
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-10-06
I know this isn't the newest of Nora Roberts' books, but I hadn't read it until recently. I really liked the way she treated archeology in general and these characters in particular.
Nora Roberts manages to express the importance of knowing where we come from without preaching about it and solving a mystery and a murder while she does it.
Of all the Nora Roberts books I've read (and I've read almost all of hers) there was only one I didn't like and "Birthright" was not it. I liked the characters and their interplay. The academics at the dig site and the people from the town had good chemistry both with each other and between the two groups.
Another masterpiece!!!

Entertaining
Rating (3)
Date: 2010-02-04
While I wasn't overly impressed with this book, I would be lying if I said it was a BAD read. I actually enjoyed it - it was a nice, light read. I got this book from a co-worker of mine, so it was a decent hand-me-down. I love getting hand-me-downs, especially books because I have read/found a few great books this way. I kept it at work so I always had something to read during lunches and breaks, and it was a great way to keep myself amused.
The plot is fairly entertaining, with this soap-opera star who has to deal with a stalker/would-be assassin which has a surprise ending, though the more serious plot happens around her family and a family tragedy that has happened to their friends. There's several surprise twists in this book, and while some might have felt it cheesy (I did find the romance part to be cliched), I genuinely enjoyed this book and would recommend it as a light and fun read. Overall 3.5/5 stars.

SO unrealistic. SO bad.
Rating  (2)
Date: 2009-06-22
This book has 3 story lines... first the Malibu soap opera star (Mary Lisa) being salked, second a murder in a small town in Oregon, third the actual soap opera (Born to be Wild) plot. There is also a sub-plot that includes Mary Lisa's mother and sisters, none of whom get along.
I did not like this book. I skimmed over the soap opera plot sections. Booooring. And they had nothing to do with the actual characters.
It is ridiculous to think that a Police Chief (Jack) from a small town in Oregon would go to Malibu California to help the local cops find a man who is stalking a soap opera star. Sure, Jack has met the woman, but he doesn't really know her! On top of that, Jack thinks maybe he needs help from the DA of this small Oregon town (John), so John gets on a plane to help out in Malibu!! They are so far out of their jurisdiction ..... not even in the same state!
THEN... little miss soap star goes to Oregon to see if she and her 2 friends can help Jack and John solve this murder (suicide?) case. WhatEVER.
On top of all of this loony business, Jack and Mary Lisa don't really have a romance. Wait... does rolling around in the sand with their clothes on while Mary Lisa's friends watch count? No. They do finally end up in bed, but the scene is short and unimaginative. A real let-down.
Nobody in this book is actually FBI. The suspense was superficial at best. The plot(s) were very unrealistic. Romance? What romance?
The only reason I gave this book 2 stars and not 1 is because I did actually finish the book. Hard to believe, but I wanted to see how it ended. (Not a good ending, either.)

A surprise read

While I was looking for somemore of Coulter's books to buy on Amazon.com, I was surprised that this book was rated so low! I just finished reading it yesterday and was pleasantly entertained. It's a romantic contemporary suspense with a hunk for a hero and a beautiful heroine that needs protecting. I thought how Coulter wove the plot with scenes from the 'soap' she starred in was well done and flowed nicely. I also enjoyed reading the little trivia about the history of soaps at the beginning of each chapter. I would recommend this book and not let the poor rating detour you.

Born to be Wild by Catherine Coulter is a fun story about a queen of mean soap opera star who offstage is more like the girl next door. She goes home for a visit; she's hoping the cops will find the stalker whose trying to kill her while she's gone. She loves seeing her father and realizes the police chief isn't so bad, even if he did throw her in jail once, but her cold, spiteful mother her two manipulative sisters are just as nasty as ever. She returns to L.A and after he wraps up a murder in the little town, the police chief in hops down to L.A. to help find her stalker. Unfortunately there are no real surprises and the characters are a little too stereotyped to be interesting.

Whether you are a Northern Michigan native like me or whether you are or were a seasonal visitor to this beautiful region, you will recognize the types of people and actual, mostly renamed, places in Aaron Stander's most recent mystery. Everything including the pacing, the sensory descriptions, the tension between the natives and non-natives, and the sorts of businesses and people that work hard to carve a living out of a place most local working people struggle to afford rings true.
If you have never been to Northern Michigan (thinly-veiled Leelanau and Benzie Counties in this book) in the hullaballoo that is summer in the area, visit in the autumn color season (late September to mid October) and take this book. Intersperse reading with vinyard stops, biking the TART trails, hiking in the woods and walking the deserted beaches and you will immerse yourself in this world. Thanks for a nice mystery with a interesting cliffhanger, but also for portraying the places and people faithfully.

Not a murder-mystery reader usually, I decided to read this for it is set where we live. However, it grabbed me at once for this colorful tour is a real trip into spaces and psyches of others that knock one off one's judgmental blocks and keep elevating one's estimation of Sheriff Elkins. The trip is so fantastic. While I was eager to know who "did it", I did not want to reach that destination where this exciting book must end.

Queen of Choppy Sentences
Rating (1)
Date: 2008-01-07
After reading my first Iris Johansen novel (No One to Trust), I have been compelled to review as much of her work as I can manage to help warn off those with more discriminating literary palates. I realize there are masses of readers who enjoy the simple plots and one dimensional characters Iris continues to churn out, but the next time you read one of her books, count how many times she uses the following phrases:
"She stiffened."
"Her lips tightened."
"She Tensed."
"Terror tore through her."
I am convinced she has these phrases and more set up as macros in her word processor. By my count in Fatal Tide, she used "She Stiffened" 32 times, and then there were derivatives of that as well.
She also peppers the text with one or two word "sentences" that do nothing but irritate. Her narrative is limited to superficial descriptions of the setting and monotonous reused peeks into the characters thoughts.
Ms. Johansen clearly is still a dime store romance novelist who is trying unsuccessfully to write thrillers. I guess it's working out well for her though since she has these snores displayed all over department store book racks.

Personally, I loved this book. I just couldn't put it down. When, I first heard about this book and about Melis. I couldn't believe it. I thought I would read about my favorite character Kemal again. But I was mistaken. Still, I loved this book. A lover like Kelby who was afraid to love because of his past. A dreamer like Phil who was obsessed and would do anything to get Marinth. A demented man ,Archer, who reminded Melis of her past and harrassed her trying to make her crazy. Then there were Melis' dolphins who were the only peace and sercurity Melis had ever known. Then everything was almost taken away from her. And all the deaths made it so dramatic. She was so strong. It all made the book so interesting. So many twists and turns like a rollercoaster. But I would like to see Kelby's friend Nicolas Lions in one of the upcoming books or to see Galen more. Or even maybe Sarah and her dog.

One of Iris's Worst
Rating (1)
Date: 2004-12-01
3 out of 4 customers found this reveiw helpful
Wow. I like most of Iris's novels - very rote though they may be. They usually have some semblance of a thriller plot, and characters that are interesting. Not this novel. She basically vomited up everything she has written in past books. But, no, this is not a "Best Of." It is a worst of. If I heard the main character whine one more time about where she was rescued from, *I* was going to vomit. Melis Nemid (the main heroine) is boring, a whiner, and needs strong love from the hero of the story. Get a life lady - you are not an example for females everywhere. The hero is cookie cutter Iris - ex-SEAL, rich, handsome, and rough. Big surprise. The most interesting character is a secondary character: Nicholas Lyons, the gentleman that helps the hero.
Save yourself the stomach pain - skip this book!

I'm just starting this book, and chose it because I knew it had recurring characters, something I always like. It's a little maddening, though. Melis Nemid, from what I can remember and have managed to find on the 'Net, was featured in a couple of other books.. Wind Dancer and at least one other.. (Nanci, I think Wind Dancer is the one you're thinking of, where she's rescued from a brothel by Kemal). I'm really hoping the back story becomes a little more clear, though from what I've read here, it doesn't seem likely that it will. It wouldn't be fair of me to form an opinion yet, as I've only just started it, but for anyone else who enjoys recurring characters.. this one will probably drive you nuts.

A Nice Change of Pace for a Talented Author
Rating (4)
Date: 2009-02-24
I knew immediately from the paperback blurb that this would not be a typical Chee/Leaphorn novel and was prepared to see what Hillerman would do with a new setting and a new group of characters. I found Moon very entertaining, a busy man who is very reluctantly drawn into locating the child of his deceased brother. The news headline chapter headings drew me back to the chaotic days at the end of the US involvement in Vietnam and the psychological changes in Moon's perspective as he is drawn deeper and deeper into his search were very believable. Of course, some of the action-sequences are pretty hard to believe, but don't we all enjoy Indiana Jones?? It's a pretty fast read, well-written, and I think you'll enjoy the change in pace from Hillerman's usual ouevre.

Extremely Disappointing Compared to Hillerman's SW Series
Rating (2)
Date: 2008-05-21
I thought this would be a well-written mystery, like Hillerman's Southwest stories, but I found the story line in this book ridiculous. It's as if he got started on a story about the recovery of the daughter of Moon's dead brother from a disintegrating Vietnam, and just had to force the story along no matter what. The cadence is wrong, and there are dozens of pages which go no where and add nothing to the story. And, who needs the high-moralizing? The final part, where Moon incredibly drives an abandoned armored vehicle from Vietnam into Cambodia during the child recovery operation defies even suspended belief. Good luck finishing this!

While most reviews that you read, give you the opinion of the reader on that particular book, I tend to read as many books as possible by that author and then rate the book(s). I've always preferred history, biography and romance novels until my eldest daughter introduced me to a new mystery writer at the time...Tami Hoag. I started reading as a skeptic as mystery never really did anything for me; with an over populous of mystery writers, it was always the same storyline, thus I was always disappointed in the end. I have to say Tami's writing gave me a new respect for mystery. I have yet to read any other mystery books that I enjoy as much as Tami Hoag's. I recommend, Cry Wolf, Still Waters, A Thin Dark Line, Dark Paradise, Night Sins and my favorite, Guilty as Sin. I think what I love the most about her books is even when you've figured it out, your wrong, yes you are wrong fellow readers. Even when you finally know who "don-it" you still can't put her books down. As Tami's storylines unfold, I found them to be wickedly deceitful. The ending in Guilty as Sin shocked me and left me wanting to read more of her works. Full of suspenseful twists that only the written word can truly master, much like the old black and white Alfred Hitchcock tales did for the screen.

Good follow up but not as good as Night Sins
Rating (3)
Date: 2008-05-16
This book finishes the story started in Night Sins. The movie based on this story actually includes only the first book and I guess it's for a good reason: Night Sins is way better than this one. Well, this one is entertaining but in comparison to the other one this one is boring. Read it if you need to know who is the master mind behind the crimes.

Or, Night Sins, the Next Chapter
Rating (5)
Date: 2007-11-22
0 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful
As written by several others here, 'Guilty as Sin' is the sequel and/or continuation of 'Night Sins'. Mitch and Megan are still around although with decidedly reduced roles. This book focuses on Ellen North and Jay Brooks. The two books together kind of remind me a bit of a 'Law and Order' episode, where one book is centered on police work and the second is centered on convicting the criminals. Ellen North is an assistant district attorney in Deer Lake, Minnesota and is simply one of the finest female (or male for that matter) characters I have ever seen in a novel. She is described in some reviews as the 'Ice Queen', but I don't see her that way. I see her as the Ice Queen wannabe. As for the dangerous love interest, Jay Brooks fits the bill well. Their attraction to each other is kind of funny at times as are most of these dangerous attractions in Tami Hoag's books, some bordering on laughable, but this one took more time to develop. Ellen North was tough and wanting to be in control of her emotions but she was constantly trying to reign in her anger or if she wasn't reigning in her anger, she was letting it fly uncontrolled. I loved her. I'm not sure about Jay. He took some getting use to as he was kind of obnoxious at the beginning as are many of Tami Hoag's hero types. Unlike 'Night Sins', I pegged the second bad guy in this book early and held firm in my suspicions right up to the end where I was proven right. The epilogue is kind of a chiller though...Is there another sequel in the works? hmmmmm... Anyway, this book was over 600 pages long and not dull at all. Probably the only thing I did not care for was Megan's replacement, Agent Wilhelm. Did Tami really have to make him so totally incompetent? If he rose to the rank of special agent, wouldn't he have at least some degree of intellignece when it came to investigation? Anyway, this is an exciting book that really deserves the title: Page Turner. Good characters, good plot, lots of chills and lots of twists. I would recommend this eagerly especially if you are a Tami Hoag fan, which I am. if you are not, well maybe you should be. Great book
