From the back of the book:

Corrie McAfee
50 Harbor Street
Cedar Cove, Washington

Dear Reader, considering that I'm married to Cedar Cove's private investigator, you might think I enjoy mysteries. But I don't--especially when they involve us! Roy's been receiving anonymous postcards and messages asking if we "regret the past." We don't know what they mean...

On a more positive note, we're both delighted that our daughter Linnette has moved to Cedar Cove to work at the new medical clinic. A while ago I attended the humane society's "Dog and Bachelor Auction," where I bought her a date with Cal Washburn, who works at Cliff Harding's horse farm. Unfortunately Linnette is less enthusiastic about this date than I am.

Speaking of Cliff, the romance between him and Grace Sherman is back on. But that's only one of the many interesting stories here in Cedar Cove. So why don't you drop by for a coffee at my husband's office on Main Street or our house on Harbor and I'll tell you everything that's new!

In this spectacular new romance from acclaimed NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Jane Feather, fate deals one stubbornly single young woman and one deceptively heartless man a shocking hand in a high-stakes bet. But is love in the cards?

Jack Fortescu gamble to win, and this time his prize is not only his rival's lavish mansion but everything in it--including the man's beautiful sister! But when it comes to games, Jack has met his match...

Left homeless by her brother's escapade, Arabella Lacey has two appalling choices: pack her bags--or agree to marry the lunatic who's taken over her house. Why would such a handsome--and outrageously wealthy--man want such an unromantic arrangement? Arabella intends to find out, and have a little fun in the process at Jack's expense...literally. As Jack discovers that his reluctant bride is no ordinary beauty, he feels a stir of admiration, among other emotions, that wasn't part of the bargain. Now he's the one with everything to lose...

Very, very good book; don't care for his Joe Pickett novels at all (too much outdoorsy stuff for this ol' big city bookworm, lol) but really liked this one a lot. Great characters, gritty (and therefore realistic) setting. Hope to see more of Cassie Dewell; finally: a female cop who's not a cleavage-showing, shampoo commercial bimbo! Thanks for the great book, Mr. Box!

A Beautiful Mind: The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash
Review Date: 4/15/2006


The true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was a legend by age 30 when he slipped into madness, and who--thanks to the selflessness of a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the mathematics community--emerged after decades of ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize and world acclaim. The inspiration for a major motion picture, a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over incredible adversity, and the healing power of love.

They were the chosen ones--and the ones who chose to be the best. Never before had the United States given so select a group of fighting men such punishing preparation. Now they were heading for their ultimate test of skill and nerve and sacrifice, in a war unlike any they or their country had ever fought before...in a land that most of America still knew nothing about...Vietnam.
