A who-dunnit kind of mystery with lots of "aha!" types of mystery explanations. An inventive retelling of a classic Sherlock Holmes mystery

Historical fiction, but based on the real life experiences of a brave, intelligent, caring, independent and undaunted woman named Nancy Wake. She grew up in Australia but was a heroine of WWII in France. A spectacularly told tale that weaves between flash backs and her time in the war. Captivating.

John Grisham still tells a great lawyer story - a mystery, a person wronged, a lawyer trying to fight a corrupt system, and good story telling.

A sometimes painful, but lovely story about a non-binary teenager learning to navigate the world around them.

An incredible journey by an impressive woman to create a life for herself after she defects from North Korea. Her life while in North Korea was astounding, the hurdles she went through after leaving just kept coming. I learned a lot about a culture and experience I knew nothing about before this

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Loved all the descriptions of the characters and the location. I felt I could picture all of it.

An excellent political/medical thriller. Stacey Abrams is a talented writer in addition to the rest of her already impressive resume

My 2nd time reading this novel and I think I enjoyed it even more this time, in that I was able to pay extra attention to parts I'd forgotten.

This series is a commitment, but it's oh-so good. It's got romance, historical fiction, adventure, sex, drama, and of course time travel.

The 2nd quarter of this book got a little slow, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The story developed, got deeper and more interesting.
