Wildflowers by Robin Jones Gunn

I read this yesterday afternoon/evening. It was a wonderful story about a woman coming to terms with how her life had gone and how she was going to make it better. There had been many trials and tribulations through the years and she had to figure out how to let go. The book is Christian Fiction, not something I would normally read, but the overall story was good. I am not all about the religious part but am glad that it works for people. I would read Gunn's other books because her style is very easy going and comfortable.

Scent of Evil by Archer Mayor

Subtitle : A Joe Gunther Mystery Novel -- It took me a while to get into this one. There were lots of twists and turns and you were just not sure how everything was going to fit together. At times it seems like things were going off on a tangent only to be brought right back in as something relevant. Mayor took the book right to the end, it was well written and it kept you thinking, which I always think is a good thing. The ending was a little anticlimactic but very fitting.

Wild Man Creek by Robyn Carr

I enjoy this author. She tells a good story, you may be able to relate to some of it and it never feels like a soap opera. It is about a woman who is forced out of her job and needs to learn to relax. She ends up going back to some of her roots and really flourishes. A gentleman enters the picture, of course, who is also going through a major life change. Things cross, romance happens, distance occurs and you can probably figure out what happens next. It was a fun book to read and just what I needed at the time. For a fun, relaxing read I think this is a good one.

How to Wash a Cat by Rebecca M. Hale

A very good mystery. There were a lot of twists and turns and it was a very creative story. It takes place in San Fransisco in an antiques shop. There is history and tunnels and intrigue. My biggest complaint was all of the description. Hale could describe things to death. It was not lengthy because of that but it seemed almost overly dramatic. That will not stop me from reading the next book she comes out with because it was witty and fun.
