by S. W. Hubbard
For all her faults, Ms. Hubbard pulls me in on the first page and keeps me in anxious suspense throughout. I don't like the way her heroine endlessly repeats the obvious, agonizing over her every thought. But that gets better as the book goes on and toward the end, I was barely noticing it. but I do love her characterizations, her very real people with uniquely interesting perspectives, and her main character, an estate sale organizer. Her previous book, Another Man's Treasure is a treasure--read it.
She left a plot line hanging that's I'd really hoped to see wrapped up neatly, Possibly she's going to revisit it in the next book? I sure hope so. I can't explain it here, but I will only say that it was so very true to life and so very infuriating, that I found myself listening to the narrative with clenched fists, boiling in rage. I don't like that feeling--
But it took a really good writer to make me have it.
