The Last Father - Daughter Dance

I was looking for a book that was going to be short.  So this is what I picked. I'm glad I read it. It was a good book. The story flowed very well.

Although it wasn't a visit home for pleasure for Kalista, but a visit for her dad and do some organizing of her feelings of home.

Her dad not doing so well after hearing of no heart transplant talked Kalista against her mothers, and doctors wishes to take him away for a while at the old family farmhouse in the Blue Ridge mountains.

He wanted to recreate memories with her.

Working hard to do what her dad wanted. And to make her fiancé happy she tried her best for the month. Not getting along with her fiancé and getting help to set these memories up when her dad, from one Calhoun boy. A memory for each season. Special moments around by blooming dogwoods.

The last season was recreated from a play. And even though Cal helped Kalista and her dad out. It left that wonder for the readers if Kalista married Cal, the one that really knew her back in childhood. That will have to be left a wonder for the importance and last was her dad finally having that dance with his daughter Kalista.

I give The Last Father - Daughter Dance 5 

 

Its been a long time that I read a Christmas book that was of murder on the comedy side. I had a good laugh through out the book. Okay it was more comedy than murder, but a murder did occur. 

From the time of a party to the time Anna wakes up and heads to her pantry and sees a dead person. What the hell happened?

In typical Anna style she tries to solve the murder on Christmas Eve, with her in laws coming. Uh Oh!

She tries to protect her daughter Lily and son Ben. Ben though somehow gets to be involved with this because well he wants something. And Anna really does need his help to keep Lily occupied and have his tech savoy.

Her husband Oli does help a great deal and keep Anna from going off the rails. Her friend Jennie and she mentions  a great deal of Agatha Christie characters that they feel they relate to. Even Anna and Oli's cats are called Tommy and Tuppence.

At the end through all her mess ups and whatever's she gets her person. 

Grateful as the police should be because of Anna!

I give Happy Blood Christmas 5------>

Can't wait to read the next in line!
