Tim White said Very Disappointing. Very disappointing - I'd read a previous Owen McKenna novel that was pretty good. This one is not, for several reasons:1.

True Beauty in the Eye of this Beholder Laura Needham Tahoe Ghost Boat is another "difficult-to-put-down" novel by Todd Borg. I loved it. One thing I was very impressed with was the underlying message that there is more to life than physical beauty. This is such an important message to share with everyone!

Chrism said I love this author. I discovered this writer about two years ago. I was happy to see that there was a series of books.I love mysteries and I have yet to guess "who done it".

It is not a "cutesie" relationship, but one that adds to the story.
