The sweetest story! This book is a perfect introduction to chapter books for preschoolers. It has colorful illustrations and a humorous and engaging storyline. We love this series!

I listened to this audiobook on Libby because it was picked for the Portland State alumni book club. I enjoyed the various perspectives and unreliable narrators in this tale of a Halloween murder. The plot skips around in time and feels like a tangled web of infidelity, betrayal, and financially motivated deceit. While rather elaborate in plotting and timeline, I did enjoy this twists and felt it was well paced.

Great book, took a long time to read, descriptive dialogue. For more matured readers.??????

This book is a sequel to Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley.

Like another book in this series on which he collaborated with another author, this lacks the humor and quirkiness of his other novels. It’s well written and an interesting story, but not quite as entertaining.

In keeping with the-looking-at-a-familiar-story through a different lens, this offering to the genre does not disappoint. It is not always a pleasant read, but definitely a good one.

Fun, cute, sweet, funny!

Outstanding view of Welsh coal mining village with wonderful prose. So touching and full of feeling. I have his next book on hold.

Another visit to Olive Kitteridge’s corner of Maine, but this time she is not the total focus of the story. Instead the reader is introduced to a number of previously untold stories from the town’s past, a murder is exposed, and various characters explore love and the meaning of life.

Almost like part 2 of Ritual not quite as thrilling or scary as her previous novels but very interesting development of all the characters
