This book is set in Tampa & starts out kind of slow. It is a plot driven mystery that gets better as you read on. A wild finish!

Helpful Score: 2


The book was very interesting, but it took me a while to get into it. The last half read much quicker. It was amazing to see how all of the real historical figures fit into the story!

I loved this book! Once I started I couldn't put it down. I loved the relationships between the women & how they changed. It's been a while since I've knitted, but I'm making plans to start a new project soon. It's not so much about knitting as it is about being creative & sharing your gifts. Great read!

As a Libraian myself, I was really looking forward to this book & series. I was very disappointed! Miss Zukas is a most unlikable character. She is the stereotypical old school librarian. A prudish, boring old maid. The supporting characters were much more interesting. I won't read another book in the series. It was work to get through this one!

This book was a non-stop thriller! I hated to put it down. Ridley Pearson really knows how to construct a story. He really keeps you riveted & wanting more. Who really is the bad guy? It may not be who you think! I loved this book!

I enjoyed this backstory of how Zorro came to be. I was surprised that a lot of it took place in Spain. We are reading it for my book club.
