"The Violin Conspiracy" by Brendan Slocumb

In The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb, Ray McMillian has a dream of becoming a world-class professional violinist against the odds which do not favor him.  He is a poor black man, but thinks he can do it even though it is a white-dominated position he seeks.  I enjoyed this book.  The characters were true-to-life and the story line kept me engaged.  (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"Unmissing" by Minka Kent is a Shocker!

Unmissing by Minka Kent is a fast-moving mystery that I enjoyed.  I has two big twists I didn't see coming and my opinion of the characters changed as the book moved along.  It kept my attention from the very first page and had no boring parts.  It's about Lydia, who is kidnapped right at the beginning of the book and is declared dead.  After missing for 10 years, she returns to find her husband who has remarried, owns several restaurants and has clearly moved on.  (Karen's review 3/24/22, 5 stars)

Gerard's review:

Unmissing by Minka Kent tells the story of a woman missing for ten years and comes back.  She comes back to a married couple to settle the score with the husband.  This is good stuff!  It is told by two women and goes back and forth so you do not expect what is coming.  The ending is really, really good!  (5 stars)

"The Night Shift" by Alex Finlay

In The Night Shift by Alex Finlay, two crimes take place 15 years apart.  Three teenagers are killed but one is able to survive.  This has a good story line that kept me turning pages.  The characters were okay, but I would have liked a bit more action.  (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"Coach K--The Rise and Reign of Mike Krzyzewski" by Ian O'Connor

I thought Coach K by Ian O'Connor is really good because it includes lots of inside stuff about Coach K and the players who played for him.  I think anyone who likes college basketball would enjoy this book.  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"Rock Paper Scissors" by Alice Feeney

In Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney, Adam and Amelia win a weekend get-a-way in Scotland which makes them very happy!  They both need it.    I enjoyed this book a lot but the less you know about it, the better.  I don't want to spoil it for you.  The story line is great.  What I thought I knew, I really didn't!  I LOVED it and highly recommend this one!  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)  

Karen's review:

Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney was just annoying to me.  First off, it was very slow moving and although it did create suspense and was somewhat creepy, I didn't care for any of the characters except the dog, Bob.  Half of the story was in the form of letters.  It was definitely full of secrets and had an unpredictable ending.  (2 stars)
