BOOK REVIEW

Decency by Rex Fuller

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Decency kept my interest because it was really a thriller that involved the government and secrecy. Take that and add a down to earth country family who run a farm and the mixture can be explosive. Samantha Pierce worked for the NSA and knew too much. So they did an evaluation on her and said she was psychologically unfit and fired her. But Samantha knew that wasn't so..so she coded a letter to her parents about it and the was mysteriously found dead. They said it was natural, probably an allergic reaction to medicine. But her parents didn't believe that. They in turn went to lawyers to help them find the real reason for their daughter's death....no one would go up against the government except for Kelly Hawkins .... follow her as she investigates and finds out the truth....a great read.

History repeats....

itself....or so I am told.  But the other day I had my grandchild over....he's only 19 months old....and a handful.  Not that young anymore to run after a toddler...so unless mommy is nearby he is put in a pack and play crib.  But we do entertain each other....actually he does all the entertaining.





Anyway, after cheerios and milk and a cookie thrown in.....we decided to read some books.  That didn't work too well....he likes to tear pages.  So I dug down deep in the basket and came up with a hard page book that we all love and realized that I read this one to my children as well.  The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.....loved it then, love it now.  What's your favorite story?

Best ever thriller. Women's mystery club does not disappoint.Not only does Det Boxer have her own problems to deal with after giving birth but now she has to deal with a serial killer who loves to torment her.

A page turner you cannot put down.
