ONE STEP TOO FAR

 ONE STEP TOO FAR did indeed keep me guessing til the end.  Emily has a wonderful husband whom she loves but she walks out the door thinking she will never return.  Emily's childhood I'd very different because she is the good twin and everyone loves her except her bad twin.  Caroline is always in competition with Emily, for her parents' love, for friends, and for boyfriends.  Could this be the reason Emily left her family and is hoping never to be found?  This is the mystery.  Even if you read the last few pages (which is my penchant) you do not find out the answers you keep asking throughout the book.

YOU

YOU by Caroline Kepnes, seemed similar to other books I've read.  The story has been overdone.  It was well written. The details were vivid.  The characters were well described.  The beginning seemed to drag before I got to the meat of the story.  I would recommend it to someone who enjoys this genre.  

BONES NEVER LIE by Kathy Reichs

BONES NEVER LIE by Kathy Reichs will be out in September.  I think this is one of her better books.  Dr Brennan is faced with finding and arresting the one that got away.  Anique tried to burn Brennan alive while Brennan still lived in Canada.  First she must find her partner in the previous investigation, Ryan.  Brennan is stumped until her mother comes to the rescue.  Read the book to see if Brennan succeeds.

WITHOUT WARNING

WITHOUT WARNING by David Rosenfelt is great.  After his wife is murdered by her lover, police chiefJake Ribbins is faced with another disaster.  Someone is either out to get him or avenge Jake.  His hometown is flooded by a burst dam and the time capsule buried four years ago must be opened.  The capsule holds more than the city remembered being in it.  Who put these mysterious predictions in the capsule and why are they coming true.  A must read.

LOVERS AT THE CHAMELEON CLUB

LOVERS AT THE CHAMELEON CLUB by Francine Prose Is a bit difficult to follow.  Many voices tell the story. Lou is a muscular woman who is a very good athlete.  She is an Olympic track star, undercover agent, traitor, and cross dresser.  There are many accurate historical facts but too many voices.  At one point it is the writer, the girlfriend, and the photographer but all in first person.  I had to keep looking back or reminding myself who was speaking and then I would lose the thread of the story. I like learning the facts, and about the people but want to enjoy a book not struggle to keep it reading smoothly.

THE INVENTION OF WINGS

I just finished THE INVENTION OF WINGS and it was great.  The time period was the early 1800s and the slave trade was very wide spread.  Sarah Grimke was very much against slavery.  She had her own ideas and was not shy to tell everyone how she felt.  This is a book of historical fiction.  Sarah was a true person and was indeed, an antislavery activist and feminist when these were not popular opinions.  The author tells us in the back that she did take liberties with some facts and used some fictitious events to make the story interesting.  I really do enjoy learning when I read.

HUNTED

HUNTED by Elizabeth Heiter was great.  FBI profiler Evelyn is now the one who must get into the "hunters"mind even though she may have been one of his victims.  She may be too close to the case, but she refuses to give up.  She must find this killer and maybe she will be able to move on from the childhood that ended tragically for her and her friend.  A must read mystery.
