An interesting mystery story, well written

Well done, a story of trauma but that isn’t the the center piece. It’s about how you grow to handle it and learn to adapt and become resilient and forgive.

Great book and very enlightening. It’s not a genre I really tried before but I am reading new things and it gave me a new respect for him and his view points. I still don’t agree with him entirely but the same can be said on all politicians. You can see his heart was in it for the right reasons.

A story of friendship, love, forgiveness and mercy. And the lack of it as well.

This novel is by a Pulizer prize winning author who writes about couples and marriage. The characters have problems but are likeable and are working on their issues. The three days are the days surrounding the marriage of the main couple's only daughter.

Fun mystery with lots of fun characters and good food. And it includes recipes!

Sweet story and a quick read. Recipes added humor.

It is amazing -- the best book to read if you want a slow burn, a chase and can relate to the grief and love from the main character. It is SO HARD not to fall in love with each character
