Summary: Builds Momentum
Review: ...this book started out slow. However, once you got past the introductions, it picked up the pace with lightning speed. There was a lot of information about Louisiana culture, one that I hadn't realized was so different from the rest of the US. An interesting read about a woman determined to find out who killed her husband, I endorse this book to anyone willing to trudge through the first few chapters. Carole Ann Gibson is here to stay. Candace...

Review: Carole Ann Gibson, newly widowed, and as a result very highly motivated, tries to track down her husband's killer. In more ways than one, in doing so she discovers her roots. This was an enjoyable book and is recommended.

Summary: Slooow but Gratifying!!
Review: I didn't actually enjoy reading this book until the very end. The beginning was extremely slow, but I had enough faith to believe that the author would pick up the pace eventually. I was right!! The ending was very exciting and suprises popped up at every turn. If you begin reading and find it difficult because the beginning drags along, hang in there! Penny saved the best for last.

Summary: Supurb Storytelling
Review: If the measure of a good book is that it totally captivates you such that you miss the first 2 (two) boarding calls for a flight out of town, then this a good book. I absolutely loved the authors ability to draw the reader into the story and not let them go until the very end. A definate page turner and left me with my mouth hanging open. (unconciously of course) I also loved the talk of New Orleans and the issues surrounding race, color, Creole vs. Cajun and all of the concpets indigenous to Louisiana. I was so impressed with the novel that about 1/2 way through this book, I immediately ordered her other 2 books. I truly hope the same depth and richness are present. Very, very good book and a must read for anyone who enjoys suspense, drama and wonderfully descriptive novels .

Summary: Highly disappointed
Review: This book started off extremely slow and never did pick up to the pace that I was expecting. I had heard so many good things about this author and her books, I was excited to read it, but I could have left it on the shelf. I guess I should not have read it after the fast action pace of Supreme Justice. But, I won't be deterred. I have another book by this author and hopefully will like it better than this one

Summary: Slooow but Gratifying!!
Review: This novel is about an "in" couple of lawyers in D.C. who find their world rocked by an ever expanding mystery that stretches from D.C. to New Orleans and back again. Carol Ann Gibson, a rich lawyer, chases the case and the truth through a twisted maze of Louisiana swamps where she finds one surprise after another. If you enjoy family history stories or stories about family influence, then you will like this exciting page turner.
