Helen Mallicoat walters7323f35 — I've enjoyed a few of "The Good Thief's Guide" books. They're excellent mysteries and I love the comedy in them. Great, quick reads.

Stephanie Beck _eck — I never thought I would really care about bass tournament fishing, but for the past week or so I was so very involved in Carl Hiaasen's fictious bass tournaments that I almost thought I was a fisherman myself. Very typical of his other books, Hiaasen has a strange cast of characters and a story line that deals with some kind of environmental topic that involves the Florida Everglades. In this novel we meet R. J. Decker, a former newspaper photographer turned private detective, who has been hired to take photos of cheating in action during the fishing tournaments. He quickly aligns himself with Skink, a strange man who eats road kill and is a lot smarter than he lets people believe he is. With their lives on the line the two men, along with the few people they can trust, devise a plan to call out the cheaters and save their own lives in the process. With twists and turns around every corner, Carl Hiaasen kept me guessing as to the outcome of this farce.

Maro Soliman marosoliman — Friendship, true lasting friendship can stand the test of time, but is it possible it could stand mysteries left hidden from seemingly ages ago? When Betts is nearing the completion of a long and grueling questioning before being named the next Supreme Court Justice there’s only one question that could ruin her chances as well as possibly destroy friendships cemented in the sands of time. What happens after her response and subsequent retreat with the Four Ms. Bradwells will have you questioning what it means to be a true friend and one that would endure nearly everything for love. A trial, a murder, friendship and much more, but not all in that order are what await readers of The Four Ms. Bradwells. So, firstly I should start off with what I loved about this story. Each of the “Ms. Bradwells,” as they have been so nicknamed since their time in law school, and how they each represented a smaller part of a larger whole. One without the group was still definitely accomplished, but together they were a force to be reckoned with. Standing together and loving each other through their faults. It was truly enjoyable to see how their friendship developed over the years and especially during their law school years. I especially liked how the story of how of them receiving their nicknames became part of who they were as a group. What I struggled with…I’m not sure if it’s because my husband is an attorney, but parts of the legal aspects of the story became quite dull to me. In ways it was interesting to learn more about some of the cases my husband has spent hours devouring, but in others it seemed to make the story drag a bit. I honestly don’t know if that’s because of my familiarity with the subject or because it simply was a tad drawn out. I couldn’t help but wonder at times if the right audience for this book might possibly be other attorneys? In ways, I wanted to know more about the mystery that was surrounding the four friends, but much of that wasn’t revealed until quite a bit later in the book. Another aspect I had a hard time with at first was the changing narrators. This isn’t something I normally have a problem with, though usually there are only between two to three narrators in a story. With four narrators I found myself constantly stopping to reacquaint myself with who was speaking. It wasn’t until I was close to 100 pages in that I finally started to get a handle on things; which coincidentally was also about the time I started to really get interested in the book as well. No doubt, Meg Waite Clayton knows her legal terminology & history as well as how to write an intriguing story. I adored the love the friends had for one another and the lengths at which each Ms. Bradwells would go to protect those they loved most of all. Unfortunately, the story was a little slower than I would have liked though I could definitely see someone with some type of legal affiliation being extremely interested in the finer details shared. It took a bit more than I would have liked to get into the mystery of the story, but was still very interesting just the same. Ultimately a beautiful story about love, friendship and what people are willing to sacrifice in exchange for those things.
