Jane Doe
I couldn't even get through the first chapter. So many metaphors it took forever to describe even the simplest things.
Sooo good, finished it in a few hours, barely putting it down for a moment. Didn't see the ending coming, which was a nice surprise since I usually do with other authors.
I loved it, it was just what I needed right now. I enjoyed the different characters. Some may complain about the predictability but that's part of what I love. When I need a pick-me-up I can relax and enjoy one of her books that will give me the happy ending I need but with a bit of turmoil first.
The series gets better with each book, going deeper into the lives of the main characters. They are complex and fascinating in and of themselves. Finished in just 24h, I could barely put it down. Amanda is a modern-day Sherlock Holmes with her crazy-observant detective skills.
Really enjoyed learning about the recon process. Would be interesting to learn how he'd handle it today, given all the tech that would help or severely hinder his work.
Soooooo good. I thought the first in the series was good but this second one was even better. Fast paced
The accident could have been prevented but they thought this scenario was far too unlikely. The multiple levels of bureaucracy are absurd. Getting a permit to drive on a road, so you can bring critical supplies to the plant?!? Made me curious about what plants are nearby me.
A lot of photos and stories you won't find anywhere else. Anyone doing cleanup at Ground Zero deserves our full support after what they went through.
I wasn't immediately drawn in as I have been with past books in the series. It fell flat for me and felt rushed without as much character development as there's been in the past... but kept me interested enough to see it through. Maybe author is getting tired of writing Lincoln Rhyme? Or only doing it out of contractual obligation?
I gobbled this up in a single day. It left me feeling happy and hopeful, though I'm not the least bit religious. Filled with great observations and life lessons; I highlited plenty of them for later re-reading.
Good suspense novel with twists. First book that I've read by this author; I'll definitely be looking up more of her books as soon as she writes more.
i feel less safe flying after reading this book. I wish I had read the description more thoroughly, that the intended audience is other pilots, before starting. It's only snippets of reports, very few of which had included the “Lessons learned” section. Reading it actually opened my eyes wide as to how many ways things can go wrong (sometimes even before a plane has taken off), where many different people play a crucial part in needing to do their job 100% correctly. Complacency seemed to be the #1 cause of issues. This is followed by unrealistic expectations by management/leadership, especially for the maintenance workers, such that people are afraid to report that they are unsafe to fly (total exhaustion) or that they have made a mistake during maintenance
Definitely moving but left me sad. Some of it was unbelievable but I admit I've never been in any of the situations depicted. Overall I liked it
While the cover was intriguing, the items inside were not. The resulting pieces of jewelry from everyday items more often than not looked ridiculous for day to day wear.

gave up pretty early on, in 1st chapter. TERRIBLE compared to Tradd Street. Seriously, don't bother
Interesting but way, way too detailed in parts. How he could he possibly remember such minute details over such a long time period?
The book dragged on forever but I forced myself to finish it in the hopes something really exciting would happen. It could've been quite a thriller if it was reduced by about 50%
Very interesting. Lots of tidbits about the realities of what cops see as part of their job.
Read over a weekend and barely put it down! Fantastic read, great characters. Loved Wilde and Hester Crimstein, enjoyed the deep dive into complexity of those characters. Hopefully there may be more of either / both in future books.
I LOVED this book! Parallels my own life in so many ways (especially in the ‘90s), I'm thrilled it's out there for other tomboys like me and Liz. I'm extremely disappointed at whatever Karens decided this book should be banned. Girls who are having this same journey need to know they are not alone!! I don't usually read graphic novels, but I was immediately interested by the title and cover and it was a great read.
Apparently cryptids can read and perform all manner of ridiculous things like smelling something in an airtight container, using chalk to draw pentagrams, and being able to understand what a cell phone is. Stories were so grandiose and unbelievable that I quit the book just 30% in.
