That is a fun little book.Mr Be-Gone by Clive Barker.
I found it sort of... ok. What do you think?Mr Be-Gone by Clive Barker.
I love Jance's JP Beaumont books! I lived in the Seattle area for about 30 years so I love it when she writes about a place that I've been. She's great to see in person, too.Trial by Fire by J. A. Jance is what I am gnawing on now.
I think after One On One that she went abit porno. I get that her characters are adults (mostly) and that there is going to be sex in the story at some point, but, yeah, she does overdo it abit in the later books. Have you read Pearl? There sex in it but I don't think it was overdone. Come to think of it, she had alot of sex in her first book Small World.I'm a little over 200 pages into Tabby's The Book of Reuben, and honestly....not loving it. I dunno. I'm not a prude by any means, but daaaang her books are sex-driven. It seems like everyone jumps into bed with everyone else. It gets a bit tiring.
She's a great author, don't get me wrong. It wasn't until I read One on One that I started having this problem with her stuff. (Thoughts, kingricefan ?)
Yeah I've been reading her books in order. So now all I have left is 150 pages or so in Book of Reuben, Survivor, and Candles Burning. Pearl is my favorite.I think after One On One that she went abit porno.

There's something in the water, my friend. So, what did you think of Caretakers? I liked it but the timeline was confusing to me. Sometimes I would be into a chapter and after two or three paragraphs realize it was set in the past, not the present like I had thought. It was weird, but I loved the story.Yeah I've been reading her books in order. So now all I have left is 150 pages or so in Book of Reuben, Survivor, and Candles Burning. Pearl is my favorite.
It just bothers me because her books (at least, One on One and TBOR) are just page after page of sex. It's like, can anyone in Nodd's Ridge keep their pants on for two minutes? lol.
I had the same thoughts as you-- liked it, but it got a bit confusing at times. I want to go back and re-read it now that I'm fully aware of what all is going on in Nodd's Ridge. I think I'd enjoy it even more on a second read.There's something in the water, my friend. So, what did you think of Caretakers? I liked it but the timeline was confusing to me.

Survivor was alright, not my favorite. Warning- there's alot of sex. Candles Burning was good, but it could have been better. I've read all of Michael McDowell's (the co-author) books (even the non-de-plume ones) and I could tell where he left off and Tabby finished it.I had the same thoughts as you-- liked it, but it got a bit confusing at times.
