Book Reviews from Investigate Some Good Books participants

Sacred Sins by Nora Roberts: You can't put it down.

Inner Harbor by Nora Roberts: A good one. A lot of love and passion. With a little blackmail thrown in the middle.

Villa by Nora Roberts: Once you pick it up you can't put it down!

Two of a Kind by Nora Roberts: A good book. Two different stories. Two different women who decide to do something out of the ordinary, and take a chance to find the love of their lives.

Sebastian by Anne Bishop: A sultry novel full of passion and seduction. Ephemera is under attack and two young women must find their path through it. One to use her gift of light, the other to find the courage to follow her heart.

Vivaldi's Virgins by Barbara Quick: This novel opened my eyes to a different side of Italy and the life of cloistered girls. A remarkable tale of a young girl's struggle to find her place in the world while following the music of her heart.

Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King: Even though the movie was good, the book was a lot better because it's a lot more detailed than the movie is.

Rumpole by John Mortimer: I enjoy *any* book about Rumpole of the Bailey. It was a PBS series for years. Great fun. I think Mr. Mortimer has passed away. Also, I read where the actor who played the barrister Mr. Rumpole is deceased. Did you know that the actor had a part in the first movie with "the Beatles"? "A Hard Days Night". I spotted him! Just a silly note.

Medicus by Ruth Downie: This author's first novel will please you if you like history mixed with mystery and humor. Made me thankful not to be from a poor family in early Great Britain. Hope I can find more of Downie's work!
