I listened to Elyse read her audiobook, and it was every bit as delightful as you would expect it to be coming from her. I laughed and cried, empathized and felt seen. Thank you, Elyse, for sharing yourself with the world.

Not a quick read. It was a slower read where you savored each page. Fascinating that the author chose the genre of fiction even though it was a true story. Loved the way the author described the scenery in beautiful detail and described the food in Taiwan so detailed and enticing. I am a Foodie so I appreciated the many meals that were mentioned. The history and culture of Taiwan was told in a very interesting way. The friendship of the 2 women (main characters) was complex and fascinating.

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden is a really interesting and suspenseful book. It has lots of secrets and unexpected twists that keep you wanting to read more. It’s an easy and exciting read.

I’ve enjoyed her historical fictions but this one just didn’t do it for me. Found myself skimming through the end just to finish it.

Katherine Center has a knack for writing lovable characters, and this book was no different. She writes stories with “happily ever afters,” which allows the reader to enjoy the journey the characters go on, without the stress of wondering if something truly terrible will happen. I’ve lived everything she’s written and can’t wait to read more of her books!

I enjoy the Women's Murder Club books a lot. They usually center around a particular murder mystery. This book, however, had three different plot lines, and the chapters kept jumping around. I found it disconcerting, so I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others in the series.

Was hard to put down. Kept me guessing if the couple would get caught and end up in jail. Also kept me guessing who the black mailers were. Interesting and sad to see how money changes people for the worse.

The pace of this book was slow and for a missing persons case, it lacked any suspense or drama.

A nice story, although a little sad. Not as well written as some other authors I've read, but a pleasant read overall.

I thought I had the book figured out until the final twist at the end. A great mystery!
