5.0 out of 5 stars the best book ever, Jan 21 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Margaret's Peace (Paperback)

Margaret's Peace is a book that you definitely can't put down. Linda Hall allows the reader to get right into the minds of her characters and know their internal struggles along with the suspense surrounding their lives.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Secular For Me, Jan 4 2002

By	Tammy Vickroy (Gilroy, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Margaret's Peace (Paperback)

I started reading books by this author as an alternative to secular fiction. This is the fourth I've read and I've decided against reading any more (I'm a little slow). While Hall's writing style is interesting and easy to read, I was disappointed to find incest, murder, premarital sex etc. in Christian literature. There was mention of church and some characters grappled with spiritual issues, but these themes were minor in my opinion. Perhaps I need to leave the mystery genre to find more wholesome topics.
Other Linda Hall books I've read: Sadie's Song, Katheryn's Secret, Island of Refuge

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent mystery, Jun 25 2000

By	Beverly "bevreader" (Mississippi) - See all my reviews

Linda Hall is truly a gifted mystery writer. Margaret returns to her family home to escape a failing marriage and emptiness after her daughter's death. However, instead of a haven, she finds that she must come face to face with her sister's mysterious death twenty-five years before. Her estranged family of aunts, uncles, and cousins all seem to be keeping secrets from her, as do the retarded man and his crazy mother who live next door. On top of this, Margaret also comes across a one-hundred-year-old legend that includes a curse on her house and a ghost who walks the beach at night. Before Margaret can find her peace, she must find her answers. Did her sister die accidentally, as she had been lead to believe? Is her house cursed? Who has been watching her and why? Did God desert her when her daughter died? Hall is excellent at writing multilayered mysteries, and Margaret's Peace is no exception. I could not put it down.
