The "ambiance" of Death at Thorburn Hall - if a story can have ambiance - is important, but hard to explain. So, I'll give an example. Have you ever heard a song (think It's a Small, Small World), and then could not get the song out of your head? What does it say about a book when a reader starts talking to family and friends using the same accent as the dialogue in the story? Well, it's like that!
Saving Grace was a wonderful read. I love a good mystery! And if there happens to be some romance between the covers (of the book!) - well, that's okay with me.
I'll start this review of The Mistletoe Inn with a little disclaimer. The only reason I purchased this book - and paid full price, I might add - was because the Hallmark movie of the same name was going to premiere on Thanksgiving Day. It stars one of my favorite actresses - Alicia Witt. I was a little concerned because, even though I made the purchase several weeks before Thanksgiving, I didn't actually start reading it until two days before Thanksgiving. However, that turned out not to be a problem. I eagerly tore through it in two days!
I love stories that blend historical fact with fiction. Although there was ample opportunity for Masello to dig into the science aspect, I think it was a good choice not to. There was plenty of excitement without it!
