There was only one line that came to my mind when I finished reading this book - Much Ado About Nothing!!

Book Review – Initiated to Kill by Sharlene Almond
The blurb promised me a connection between Jack the Ripper and the new 2010 serial killer who roamed the streets of Seville, Spain, each belonging to the powerful organization of the Freemasons.

Book Review – In The Silence by M. R. MacKenzie
I wanted to like this book because it was a murder mystery, and the background motive made sense to me. But alas I didn't, as most of the book didn't make sense to me.

Book Review – If They Knew by Joanne Sefton
My review This book barely escaped being a DNF by the skin of its teeth... Whew!! A thriller of secrets which didn't thrill or entice me.

Book Review – The proposal by S. E. Lynes
My review This is one of the most difficult reviews I would have probably written. The book was so different, gruesome in places that I had no idea of what I was reading.

Lynes

When I Find You by Emma Curtis
My review I liked the brilliance of the plot. I like the convoluted roadway to the identity. I liked the anger and suspense of the situation. I liked the helplessness and fear of the main character.
