\"Ocean<\/a> Ocean Waves<\/a> by Terri Thayer<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

My review<\/a><\/h3>\n

rating: 4 of 5 stars
\nYou cannot blast through this book. I did and I didn’t understand it at all, which meant that I turned back to page one and started over as soon as I finished it. Terri once told me that every word has to count so writers these days prune, prune, prune. I may have realized that with her other two books, Old Maid’s Puzzle<\/a> and Wild Goose Chase<\/a>, but it came home to me with this book when I knew the killers and didn’t understand the ending.<\/p>\n

Dewey’s character is developing and I like to be able to see that in the book. I also enjoyed seeing her develop as a quiltmaker and am glad she didn’t bail on her class.<\/p>\n

Terri has a knack for characters I love to intensely dislike and this book was no exception. One was a control freak and the other had a huge chip on his\/her shoulder. I am glad I won’t be seeing THEM again.<\/p>\n

This was a pretty exciting book. The ending was fabulous. Terri did not fulfill my fantasy of killing off Kym, but I liked what Terri did with Kym in terms of moving her along with her life. I would have liked a little more background on what has gone in Kym’s life since she was fired from QP, especially since, despite Dewey’s heroics, Kym doesn’t move beyond her self centeredness.<\/p>\n

The sad part about books, though, is that we only get a few days of Dewey’s life and I could really use more. Perhaps Terri should write a blog by Dewey…in her copious amounts of spare time!<\/p>\n
