Angelica was written in a Victorian setting, complete with the Victorian style of writing. Interesting that it was told from 4 different viewpoints, but they did not gel together. Was it a ghost story, madness, or murder? I still do not know, maybe that was the point. It reminded me alot of "The Turn of the Screw". Good book for those who enjoy reading the classics. Even though it was written in 2007 (?) , the writing style is very much like that of the authors from the 1900's.

Love this author's first two books, "Beautiful Lies" and "Sliver of Truth", this one was good but not one of her best. The story line has been done before and the female lead was a little too unbelievable at times. There is no way I would have gone on some of those adventures!!!!. Some good twists and turns and enjoyable to read, just not as good as I was expecting from Lisa Unger.

Bad Things Happen - Harry Dolan


We bought this book b/c the sequel "Very Bad Men" had really good reviews and once we discovered that "Bad Things Happen" was the first book, we of course had to get it!!!

The reviews of this one hyped it up a bit more as a suspense novel than I felt it delivered. It seemed more like a traditional mystery with a lot of police interviews, multiple suspects, and final recap at the end. The ending did give a bit more twist, but overall it wasn't the "edge of my seat thriller" I was expecting. Hopefully the sequel will be better!!!
