Enjoyable, fast, easy read. Very much a typical Grisham story. More of a teaser for The Whistler than a novella or short story. It made me want to read that novel sooner rather than later, so this one did what it was supposed to do.

This one should come with a warning sticker: tissues may be needed. Beautiful and heartbreaking, full of heart and oddly enough, math. I don't know how Fredrik Backman does it, but he has a way of translating humanity and emotion into the written word.

The was one of those books where there was nothing terrible about the story (other than it got really slow about 2/3 of the way through), but there wasn't anything exciting either. It was just there.

Though it did feel like a fall Hallmark Channel movie waiting to happen.

bleh. This book should have come with a better warning: Beware. Extremely old school, highly predictable, eye roll worthy, very cheesy, romance novel. It's books like these that remind me why I tend to skip the romance section. Much prefer Sandra Brown's suspense novels.

meh. So full of ridiculous cliches and over the top characters (even for a Sandra Brown book) that I spent most of the book rolling my eyes.

If not for the twist at the end, I would have only given this one 2 stars.

Started out pretty good, but lost something towards the end. Maybe it was that more of the focus went to Kristi - not a favorite character of mine. Would have been happy without the epilogue.

This was your average cozy mystery. Not terrible but also not anything to cheer gush about. Matt was still the best guy around I found Fran to be a little less annoying this go round, so there's that.
