was the most fun to write and why? I am delighted to discover she has quite a few novels published, all of which have been added to my to-read

It means SO much to me. Chasing the Bear. The information about These Shallow Graves shown above was first featured in "The BookBrowse
Review" - BookBrowse's online-magazine that keeps our members abreast of notable and high-profile books publishing in the coming weeks.
Though not actually real people, the characters are also very realistic and at home in the setting. And certainly not a girl, either I sense a signature
here. Have you no sense of morality? This was all the more frustrating because of how unbearably naive the main character was. What a lovely
note, Lara! I recommend this to you not as a crime book, but as a historical romance. While I read the conversations, I somehow had this
sensation of hearing melodies, as if the dialogue had rhythm. Open Preview See a Problem? But then a tragedy strikes, and for the first time in her
life Jo's got an opportunity to pursue her dreams. She knew he didn't shoot himself by accident cleaning one of his guns, it's just not something he
would have done. These Shallow Graves was a rather well written historical mystery novel that features a strong female that doesn't want to go
with the arranged marriage that is expected of her and wants to live the life she has always dreamed of regardless of her being a woman. She's
naive and ignorant of many things - something that changes as the story moves along and I love good character development. And while I was
consumed by all of these feelings, I kvelled in the story's entirety most of all. Jo and Eddie's connection came pretty much out of nowhere. Any
favorite books? She is such a passionate character, fierce in her beliefs, brave enough to take risks to fight the battle she chooses. Jo and Eddie

often forgot that she was 17, was nothing short of creepy. This book marks your return to historical fiction. What's the Name o She could be
annoying as well, but it was what made her relatable. Rating details. So respectable. This character, Jo Montfort, is one I really connected to and
liked. And that is all. Under a Painted Sky. It was a mixture of frighteningly atmospheric, brainiac detective sleuthing, and a good dosage of humor
like the kind in Jackaby. She knows what she wants and what she's allowed to have. Matt Killeen. There was no going back. I'll sum up the book
by saying it has a gripping mystery - one with an emotional basis for the character when her father dies out of dubious circumstances that is
covered up as an 'accident' - and it propels her to start breaking society's chains around her to get answers. Full access is for members only.
Smyth do such a thing? Differentiates between the cuts of a hatchet and those of a carving knife. Readers who love costume dramas will relish this
one. And the list is much greater, and often graver, for girls and women in developing countries. The clues are all there, but it takes time to put
them together, time that is well spent getting to know Jo and her friends. At last, I want to say that although this book had a wonderful MC and a

usually where the love between two people is strongest. Jo is a highly likable, headstrong heroine. Consuelo, too. When Jo receives news that her
