A bit of adventure and quick cash is all that good-natured drifter Anthony Cade is looking for when he accepts a messenger job from an old friend. It sounds so simple: deliver the provocative memoirs of a recently deceased European count to a London publisher. Little did Anthony suspect that a simple errand to deliver the manuscript on behalf of his friend would drop him right in the middle of an international conspiracy, and he begins to realize that it has placed him in serious danger.

Kate McGuire’s life was sweet in Manhattan before she lost her restaurant job and fiancé both. But sometimes that’s just the way the cookie crumbles, and soon she finds herself starting from scratch in the island town of Coral Cay, Florida. It has everything she’s looking for: sunny beaches, friendly locals, and a Help Wanted sign in the bakery shop window. Once she convinces the shop’s crusty owner Sam Hepplewhite to hire her, Kate can’t tie on her apron fast enough. Little does she know that trouble, like warm dough, is on the rise.

Resumen del Editor
Internationally acclaimed Martha Grimes once again turns her hand to crafting a story of such rich atmosphere and intricate suspense that she transports the listener to a world unlike any other. A once-fashionable, now fading resort hotel. A spinster aunt living in an attic. Dirt roads that lead to dead ends. A house full of secrets and old, dusty furnishings, uninhabited for almost half a century. A 12-year-old girl with a passion for double-chocolate ice cream sodas, and decaying lakefronts, and an obsession with the death by drowning of another young girl, 40 years before.
Like all important events in the past, there are repercussions and ramifications in the present. In the world as seen by Martha Grimes, those repercussions simmer and seethe and wind their way through hearts and souls. The ramifications can be subtle. Or exhilarating. Passionate. And they can also be deadly.
Hotel Paradise is a delicate yet excruciating view of the pettiness and cruelty of small town America. It is a look at the difficult decisions a young girl must make on her way to becoming an adult and the choices she must make between right and wrong, between love and truth, between life and death. It is a novel with extraordinary range and depth that ultimately becomes a thrilling morality play.

Generations of Waverleys tended this garden. Their history was in the soil. But so were their futures.

For the past twenty-five years, Margaret Atwood has written works of striking originality and imagination. In The Blind Assassin, she stretches the limits of her accomplishments as never before, creating a novel that is entertaining and profoundly serious. The novel opens with these simple, resonant words: "Ten days after the war ended, my sister drove a car off the bridge." They are spoken by Iris, whose terse account of her sister Laura's death in 1945 is followed by an inquest report proclaiming the death accidental.

Disappointed
I liked the story BUT it did not end with this book. It leaves the story hanging with nothing resolved. I felt cheated. I will not be forced to buy another book.

Took a while, but ...
Enjoyed the book after I got into it. Emma is a busy young girl solving mysteries and very determined at that! She doesn't give up, even though people think she's wasting her time. The narration was good and kept me interested. Recommended!

Disappointed - lover her other work
I really wanted to like this -- I have loved her other work, the Jury series. But this.... this just didn't grab me, even though there is an assortment of funky characters. I think the problem is that I don't like the narrator (not the real human who voices the book, but the character who tells the story.)

Curious adolescent, Emma Graham
This is a different approach for Martha Grimes. It’s enjoyable to hear a story from the perspective of a 12 year old girl. Emma Graham is a curious straight talking adolescent girl. I’m looking forward to book 2.

No 12 year old has that vocabulary or ability to describe
Performance was difficult to listen to and certainly not the voice of a 12 year old. I usually love Martha Grimes but this really misses the mark.
