Across the Miles - L.M. Montgomery

Title: Across the Miles Author: L.M. Montgomery Genre: Short-stories Rating: 9/10 # pages: 254 Date read: May, 2008

Summary: Love notes, marriage proposals, heartfelt promises, honest admissions, cruel deceptions--these are the many variations on the theme of this collection, in which each story hinges on the writing or receiving of a letter. These stories, filled with all the wit and wisdom of L.M. Montgomery, take us back to a time when letters held not only news of friends and family, but the power to change lives.

Review: I think this is my favourite of LMM's short story collections. It's all about letters, diaries or other 'written things' being the main part of the story. I love reading books made up of letters or diaries, so this is right up my alley :) Also, there are a lot of really sweet and romantic stories in there as well.

The Truth Seeker - Dee Henderson

Title: The Truth Seeker Author: Dee Henderson Genre: Suspense Rating: 7/10 # pages: 330 Date read: May, 2008

Summary: Women are turning up dead. And Lisa O'Malley digging into a crime means trouble is soon to follow. She's a forensic pathologist and mysteries are her domain. Book number three in the O'Malley series brings back Lisa O'Malley and U.S. Marshal Quinn Diamond from The Guardian in a tense investigative thriller. She's not a believer, and her journey toward faith is a fascinating look at how a forensic pathologist views the Resurrection. Quinn has found loving her is easier than keeping her safe. Lisa O'Malley's found the killer, and now she's missing too...

Review: Unfortunately definitely the weakest of the O'Malley series so far. I really enjoyed the first two and especially the prequel, but it was more difficult to get properly into this one, and the evangalisation seemed a lot more heavy-handed... but perhaps that's just because I had a harder time relating to the main character this time. It was still good, but I'm in no rush to read the rest of the series.
