3 1/2 stars for this one. Way too long and drawn out for my taste to rate higher. Basic story of the haves and have nots. Then the script gets flipped3 1/2 stars for this one. Way too long and drawn out for my taste to rate higher. Basic story of the haves and have nots. Then the script gets flipped and then back again once more. I think the use of the word vanity in the title is very accurate to the story. Glad I read another classic. Glad it is finished as well....more
What a wonderful listening/reading experience. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Anyone who enjoys books by Dan Brown or the movie National Treasure What a wonderful listening/reading experience. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Anyone who enjoys books by Dan Brown or the movie National Treasure will surely enjoy this book too. Well written and well researched, this story blends enough fact with fiction to make me wish it was reality. I was thrilled to discover that it was not riddled with foul language. No gore or overly expressed sexual scenes. Pretty good considering a crime family is very central to the storyline. Looking forward to more Harry Fox adventures....more
I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by Levar Burton. Fantastic! It was like listening to a Reading Rainbow show about Mr. Rogers. The book I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by Levar Burton. Fantastic! It was like listening to a Reading Rainbow show about Mr. Rogers. The book starts in the beginning of Fred’s life appropriately. Informing us on how his youth led him to become Mr. Rogers. It is very in depth and continues on through his school years, college education, his relationship with his family, wife and children, as well as his coworkers. It follows his entire life. Giving us a glimpse at the man he truly was. I don’t want to give anything away, nor deter anyone from reading it. He truly was a good human being. I watched his show in its beginnings and my children watched it too. Pretty sure my grandkids have also seen some. I do recommend this book. Try reading or listening to the audiobook. I think you will find it’s a beautiful day to be a neighbor....more

I truly enjoy the stories that Nancy Mehl can conceive. I enjoy the mystery, the thrills and in this one the outcome. I had thought about this person I truly enjoy the stories that Nancy Mehl can conceive. I enjoy the mystery, the thrills and in this one the outcome. I had thought about this person as a suspect, then talked myself out of it. Of course, that’s who the villain was. Plus there was a twist at the reveal that I didn’t see coming at all. This book was more focused on the Christianity theme. It dealt with a cult who’s not even close to the Christian faith. It dealt with using germ warfare to bring an apocalyptic end. I recommend this book and any other book by Nancy Mehl. This book is well written. It is listed as Christian fiction, but is also crime fiction, a thriller and a romance. ...more
