@sunala If you liked Once We Were Brothers I'm sure you will like Karolina's Twins. It goes back and forth from WWll to present. I really enjoyed this. Ronald Balson once again.

The Best Kind of People by Zoe Whittall was a great read.
Going to read Sally Quinn's (nf) Finding Magic. Have read her fiction before but not her nf.

@sunala, I couldn't agree more. I just love the Harry Bosch novels, wanted to love this new character as well, but it's the first Connelly book that (1) I dragged my feet about finishing and (2) couldn't wait for it to be done & away from me. I kept hoping that I would like Renee but I just could not. And, I also had thoughts that Connelly wrote it with someone else.

hi @Judaline
I loved Once We Were Brothers. Thanks for the tip for Karolina's Twins. There's actually a series of 3 books starting with Once We Were Brothers. That's the first, then Saving Sophie, then Karolina's Twins. I'm not sure they should be read in order, but they are all called the "Liam Taggart and Catherine Lockhart Series."
I'm anxious to read them, and thanks for the heads up!

@sk888888- I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't care for Renee. She wasn't very likeable, and in my opinion she lacked humanity. She had no friends, only her grandmother as family, and seemed to have many enemies at work, which in a way is understandable the way she was $crewed over by Olivas.
On to bigger and better!!!

I couldn't wait to read All Summer Long by Dorothea Benton Frank. I wanted an adventure in the Low Country (Charleston SC) which is her norm setting. Usually it is about friends, family entanglements - basically life. So I was happy to read this book during the season it was named.
Was it awful - no
Was it great - no
Was it memorable - no

@sunala I knew about Saving Sophie but as I recall it's not a WWll setting. I believe the only similarity was that the same lawyers had this case as in the other two novels. But if I'm wrong, let me know! Hope you get to read Karolina's Twins. I think with his "Brothers'' novel's success, he is trying to use the same genre in "Karolina". Worked for me.

I just finished reading Every Last Lie by Mary Kubica. It's very suspenseful and a few parts even scared me enough that I had to stop reading for awhile. Great book!
