The epigraph does work for this book, and yes, I think Ware may be someone to pay attention to.<br /><br />Raybourn's book didn't live up to what I hoped for, but it was OK. I didn't warm to the characters much.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-39297496097451586872015-08-05T18:31:43.501-05:002015-08-05T18:31:43.501-05:00I've been wondering about the Deanna Raybourn ...I've been wondering about the Deanna Raybourn book; I'm sorry it wasn't a better read.

Definitely a book I'd want to read. And no, I wouldn't attend the bachelorette party, especially not one for someone I hadn met in years. <br /><br />I need to try Deanna Raybourn's books one day since I've heard so many good things about them.

And no, I would definitely not go to a hen weekend / bachelorette party for someone I hadn't seen in ten years.

Had they at least been in touch by phone, letter or the internet? I love the epigraph you shared. It sounds like quite a suspenseful book! It sounds like the book had a lot going for it, even despite its flaws.<br /><br />I really enjoyed the Deanna Raybourn book I read last year. "Campy and charming" are good ways to describe my experience with that one. :-) I am sorry you didn't care for her latest.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
