"Whistle" by Linwood Barclay


In Whistle by Linwood Barclay, Annie has had a rough year.  Her publisher finds her and her son a house in an out-of-the-way place, a small town in upstate New York.  Now Annie can get back to doing what she does best--writing books!  I have read a few books by this author, but this one is by far his best!  It is filled with twists and turns with plenty of action which is why I enjoyed it so much.  I always looked forward to reading it and had to force myself to put it down so it would last longer.  Stephen King said this one was "Terrific" which made me want to read it.  He was right!  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"The Best of Friends" by Lucinda Berry


The Best of Friends
by Lucinda Berry is narrated by three moms of three teen boys who had an incident one night.  This book is full of family drama.  Read it and see how many of the mothers you like!  I liked this book very much.  I liked the storyline and the action in it!  It was hard to put down.  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

Karen's review:
I read The Best of Friends by Lucinda Berry because my husband said it was so good and the summary sounded good too.  It is about three good friends that played soccer together and their moms who were also good friends.  When one of the boys is killed at his friend's house, all the friendships start to unravel.  I liked how the story was told by the three mothers.  It kept my interest, but was disappointed in the ending.  This is a dark story with drugs, deceit, domestic abuse and trauma.  It was kind of depressing.  (4 stars)
