Lee Martin did an outstanding job of pulling you into the story. He constructed the book from many points of view but does not reveal the details of the murder at once. He challenges you to close the book, he lies to you during his story, and yet you read on to confirm that you knew exactly what happen to Katie.

Some people will not like the dark nature of the story and that is the reservation I have in my recommendation.

You are a juror and the most deadly man in the world is on trial. He knows where you live, he knows you family, he knows where you work, he knows what you drive, and he has the power to change any part of your life he chooses. Enjoy the nail-bitting page turner that will lead you to the end of the world.

We had mixed reviews of the book during our discussion. Some of the women thought the characters were not fully developed. Also, some of the events were not explained in any detail.

Most of us enjoyed that it was a quick read and that it brought on the discussion of woman and their role in marriage. We talked about how a woman back then would not walk away from a abusive marriage easily. We loved Henry and all the wisdom he shared.

Fun Read.

Enjoy the life of Anne Boleyn and the intrigue of the courts of France and England. The danger of being at the whim of an womanizing King who has no trouble discarding wives. Lots to talk about especially women's roles in life.

A story of life during the events of war in Afghanistan over thirty years. This gives first hand experience of living every day with proverty, submission, deep love, and strong character. It is a book that will remain with you after you have turned the last page.

Jodi Picoult is a wonderful storyteller. She takes current events and weaves them into a story that has many unexpected patterns. In Perfect Match our group had so much to discuss. Rape of a 5 year old, priest involvement, DNA procedures that we were surprised to learn, antifreeze and what it can do, legal system does it protect, love for you child and what would you do, working mothers and guilt.

Karen Friedman finds herself a widow after 18 years of marriage with two children to raise and into her life steps strange scary men looking for huge amounts of money. Her long time friend and business partner of her husband say not to worry, but these men mean business and they send their message by a night visit to her daughter. Andrew Gross weaves a story of the heart into this action packed novel. How can you be married to a man for 18 years and not know him at all. Enjoy.

Our group enjoyed the adventure of the mountain climbing and the difficulty a mountaineer must face. Greg uses those skills to successfully build schools through out Pakistan and Afghanistan. The history of the time was very clear and that added to the story. The culture of the people and how Greg adapted to understand them and live as they lived made him a legend among the people.

I found Orphan Train to be an interesting story based on facts that happen in the past. Because it was based in fact it held my interest more than if it was totally fiction. I had to google the facts about the orphan trains of the past. The pictures that were included help me to visualize what it was like for the children on the trains. Their fight to survive and have full lives when they became adults was an important part of the story. There are so many issues you can discuss.

Our book group enjoyed this page-turner. We all learned new information on DUI offenses. The suspense kept you reading to find out what was going to happen to Ryan and Jake. There were many points to discuss. Fun, Easy, Read.

Laura Moriarty provided us with lots of discussion - but not on Cora, \\\"The Chaperone\\\", but rather on Louise Brooks the silent film and dance star. I along with Eileen found that really interesting. Laura did provide plenty of conversation on family, Prohibition, which Sharon informed us lasted a very long 13 years, race, with the play that Cora and Louise went to see and were surrounded by black patrons, lewd cohabitation, Raymond and Alan, Cora and Joseph, what would the neighbors have said if they knew, homosexuality and the difficulty to the point of jail time if found out and the ruin of your family, contraceptives and how it was not even acceptable for the married woman to use them much less the unmarried woman and also morality with so many secrets and lies that had to be told. It makes my heart so sad to think about the lives they lived. I know there were good times, but I still believe \\\"The Truth Will Set You Free.\\\" The point is at what cost? Louise was certainly the come-back kid. When Louise left Denishawn Dance, Flo Ziegfeld offered Louise a place with his glorified American girls and it was while working for him that a Paramount scout saw her and asked for a screen test where she was successful with one of her most famous pictures \\\"Canary Murder Case.\\\" Louise did finally venture into matrimony with Eddie Sutherland, a film director. Later they divorced and she married Deering Davis, Chicago sportsman in 1933 and then later separated. (Some of this material I found in The Wichita Eagle newspaper dated 1937).
