Standard deviation - K. Heiny

Loved the first half, not so impressed by the second one. Nice enough, could have been better.

Rating:  6 out of 10

The President is missing - B.Clinton/J. Patterson

A good, solid Patterson's novel with some presidential insights. Ok but nothing special.

Rating:  6 out of 10

The good daughter - K. Slaughter

A good thriller, lot of actions and adrenaline. But easily forgettable.

Rating:  7 out of 10

The summer seaside kitchen - J. Colgan

Pleasant, romantic, summary read.

Rating:  6,5 out of 10

Clock dance - A. Tyler

Beautifully written, sweet and bitter, great read.

Rating:  7 out of 10

E' cosi' che si uccide - M. Zilahy

Un bel giallo, non sono del tutto convinta sul commissario, ma in generale avvincente.

Cattiva - R. Milone

Mi aspettavo di piu', in realta' piuttosto banale e scrittura buona ma non eccezionale.

Rating:  6 out of 10

A great historical novel, full of mistery, love and NY!. Loved it!

Pianto tanto, un libro crudo e reale, con un bel messaggio di fondo. Bello bello.

Noir intenso, le parti sul calcio non mi sono piaciute, il "giallo" molto.
