Nighttime is My Time

Nighttime is My Time
By Mary Higgins Clark

So many times, I was sure I knew who the killer was! I actually enjoyed the guessing and the putting together of "facts" more than I enjoyed finally finding out who really did it! Great characters all around and a fun set-up, the class reunion thing.
8/10

If it doesn't give too much away, I love the twists in this book. But my favorite is how the "senile" old woman is telling the truth all along!

Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
By Barbara Leaming

This may be the definitive biography of Kate and her family. It starts back a few generations and goes through their history before she even makes her first appearance. I liked hearing about what her parents and grandparents were like, as well as her extended family, since it shaped her so much. Family was so important to her. Her relationship with Spencer Tracy is still somewhat of a mystery to me, but I think it always will be so I don’t hold that against this book!
9/10
