REVIEWS

This book has it all. It has great characters: Mariah, Jules, Doc, Gil -- and everyone else. I especially liked the fact that real people were incorporated into the plot along the way. That just made it so much more believable. Makes me wish I could have been there. - Larry R. McCarthy, Seaside, California.

Wow! What a great story! - William Lange, Lacey, Washington.

Thanks, Joelle. I loved this one especially. I really liked the relationship between Mariah and Jules and the murder mystery that goes with it. -- Julia Roberts (no relation!), Los Angeles, California.

I loved this book. It is such an interesting story with such interesting characters. I was surprised to find out who killed who - a revelation at the end of the story. -- Diane Longue, Long Beach, California.

This was a very complex story about a woman who had a great job because all the men were off to war. She was consulted by a local doctor who was trying to figure out how three people died and who killed them. She was helped by her boyfriend and a police detective. It was very interesting to me, especially about the woman passing for white, because I could pass too, but don't need to in 2025. -- Denise Robertson, Newark, New Jersey.

I love this book, Joelle. I loved everything in it, including the characters. Especially Mariah King and her boyfriend Jules de Bergeron, but also Doc Catania and Gil Olivera. Great characters. -- Luanne Rimes, Seattle, Washington.
