"Being a Southerner, I totally enjoyed the characters in this book because I've met people like them all my life. This is a fun, fast, and funny story with a lot more depth than I expected. I love it when books make me laugh out loud and this one did it time and again. I highly recommend it."

"This book is a nice romance set in the days following the end of WWII written in Dorothy Garlock's traditional style. For Garlock fans, it is another enjoyable read. She is very good at what she does."

"This series just gets better and better! I love all the characters and how they relate to each other and especially how they grow and develop and evolve. I finish one book and immediately pick up the next because there is great continunity in this series. Do read them in order and have them all on hand because you won't want to wait for the next one to arrive!"


The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town
The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town
Author: John Grisham

"This is a story that needed to be told. John Grisham was the right man to tell it. I admire him for all the in-depth research he did and for his keen insight as to what it all really meant. He has done us all a service in telling us how the 'justice' system sometimes really works.

Please don't judge this book by just its story, or how it was written. The vital message to take away is that these horrors happened to these people and likely to many more who don't have John Grisham to write their stories.

It is sometimes not a comfortable read, but its message needs to be known to us all."

"This series seems to get better with each book. Charlaine Harris's characters are well defined and seem to stay true to their natures throughout. I'll be reading them all."

"Another good story about the life and times of a cool character, though this one didn't grab me quite as much as the one just before it in the series. I'm sad to see that there's only one book left for me to read in Aurora's saga. I wish this series had many more because they are hard to put down. I recommend them all."

"This is a cute, little fluffy chick lit mystery that can be read in one sitting. Even though it is pieced together using the usual pattern for this type of story, it is enjoyable to read and the characters are somewhat believable."

"Don't be mislead by the cutesy cover designs, because the story between the covers is not cutesy. It is a well written, well developed mystery that keeps a reader involved and turning pages like mad. Parts are laugh-out-loud funny and parts cause breath-holding suspense. I'm glad there are a number of books in this series, because I couldn't bear to stop at just one!"

"I gave this book 3 stars just because it was OK. I've read other Den of Antiquity books and they were mildly entertaining, but I notice a pattern of unnecessary information being repeated. I also get irritated when the main character acts childish at the worst times for her to do so. Having said that, I have to say that it's an ok mystery and a quick read."

"This book is a good start for a new mystery series. There's murder and scrapbooking in a small Southern town. What's not to like?"

"This promises to be a good series, although it is written in a different tone from Charlaine Harris's other works. That is a good thing, however. I would hate for them to all sound the same. I like it well enough to order the next installment."
