Diana O’Toole is perfectly on track. She will be married by thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art auction world. She’s an associate specialist at Sotheby’s now, but her boss has hinted at a promotion if she can close a deal with a high-profile client. She’s not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galápagos - days before her thirtieth birthday. Right on time.

Very well written

I love Jodi Picoult, and this book was very well written. I think it was a bit too soon for me to read, though. I love to escape while reading, and this was no escape.

As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything - beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses - but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets.

This book missed the mark for me...

Historical fiction is my favorite genre of book. This book just totally missed the Mark for me. I could’ve cared less about the characters; it was confusing jumping back and forth. I’m so bummed, because I was really looking forward to this.

Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

Such a great story - awful narration!

I love, love, LOVED this book! I cannot wait to watch the series! I’ve never played chess, but now have such an interest in learning. The only reason this was difficult for me to listen to, was because the narrator was terrible. I will never listen to anything by her again. Other than that, a strong four stars from me!
If and when I recommend this book to someone, it will be a hard copy. Not through Audible.

FBI Agent Nell Flynn hasn't been home in 10 years. Nell and her father, Homicide Detective Martin Flynn, have never had much of a relationship. When Martin Flynn dies in a motorcycle accident, Nell returns to the house she grew up in so that she can spread her father's ashes and close his estate. At the behest of her father's partner, Detective Lee Davis, Nell becomes involved in an investigation into the murders of two young women in Suffolk County. The further Nell digs, the more likely it seems to her that her father should be the prime suspect.

I love thriller type books, filled with twists and turns. This has a few, but was more predictable than I’d hoped for. It was a quick read, and I would pass along to someone looking for just that!

Anna Fox lives alone - a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times...and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenaged son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn't, her world begins to crumble. And its shocking secrets are laid bare.

Reviewed: 06-03-20
I really enjoyed this book! I felt at times the narrator didn’t fit the voice of a 39 year old woman. I felt it was more of a 59 year old, so that kind of deterred me a little. The storyline was great; loved all the twists thrown in there!

This was a good, summer read. I enjoyed hearing about Sunshine and Margot. I almost had to stop listening because of the narration. Oh my GOSH was it awful. I will never listen to another book narrated by Tanya Eby.
