Thanks, Susan. I’d love it if someone else I know read Late in the Day. I’d love to compare notes.

In reply to Annie. It's hard to say where I get my books, Annie. All over the place, book lists, catalogs, recs from other bloggers. You know!

In reply to Catherine. I'm happy I can vet a few books for you. You do the same for me often enough. If you're looking for a thriller, I actually just finished The Winter Sister and liked it more than Her One Mistake.

In reply to Allison | Mind Joggle. Late in the Day might be a bit like Tin Man, but I liked Tin Man much more. I wish someone else I trust would read it so we could compare notes.

In reply to sarah. You said it perfectly. McColl was trying too hard to show the readers how smart she is. It's sad. Had she stayed focused on her mother it might have been a much batter book. Glad you got that refund! (Luckily, my copy was from the library.)

In reply to RK. Yes, Talent was a big disappointment for me. I'd avoid it!

I like your Clearing the Shelves feature, snappy reviews! The Tessa Hadley book interests me a bit.

I’m so glad I was denied for Joy Enough, based on the premise I thought it sounded good but after reading your review, not so much. I’m still thinking I’ll get to Her One Mistake sometime. I like this mini review format!

I had never heard of any of these books :O Where do you get them from?
