Mystery Book Club The Falls by Karen Harper Buy book: $5.85
Claire Malvern is told that her husband, Keith, committed suicide by jumping off the bridge at Bloodroot Falls. Soon she and Sheriff Nick Braden dig into her husband's past and uncover a shocking picture of what really happened to Keith.
It does start out pretty fast and exciting. HOpe it
continues this way..will look for it tomorrow and I
plan to order it from the Library. Not always do I
enjoy mysterys by women writers....but I try them before I decide to continue or quit.
I like the start of this book. I feel hooked already. It is easy to imagine the fear in Claire as she discovers her husband is missing. Can't wait for tomorrow for the next part.
It has my attention, especially since I have always thought it would be fun to own a bed and breakfast. The disappearance of her husband in the middle of the night is intriguing.
I think she does remind the sheriff of his wife. Do you think Claire's husband turns out to be a cad? Will she then fall in love with the sheriff? A little love interest never hurts.
Normally I love mysteries set in Washington, but this one first got me confused because geographically it isn't located near anything real. I found some of the description to be too much, I really didn't care if the lead female put on underwear...why bother putting that in?
A "cad" - I haven't heard that word in a while. =) I think the synopsis does lead us to belive that the husband has some sort of suspicious past of which the wife is completely oblivious. I'm curious to know what that is...
Weird thing....I got this book out of the library this past Sunday, before it came on the book club!!
I'm enjoying the book. I'm about 3/4 of the way through it and still don't know the "who done it" part of the story. She keeps you on the edge of your seat, guessing who you can trust.....
I feel too distant from the characters in this book to really get involved. I'll admit to wanting to know the secrets Keith has hidden, but if I got this from the library, I'd probably just read the end, to find out what happened.
The book was ready to pick up at the bookmobile yesterday so I'll pick up where it left off in today's installment. I'm curious to find out who's behind the thick foliage.
