The Women of Arlington Hall by Jane Healey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I added this Kindle book when it was offered as a Prime First Reads book.
This is the type of historical fiction I enjoy. It is well-researched; the characters are likeable; and the historical threat is real.
I recommend this book to readers who are interested in "recent " historical events.

American Sky by Carolyn Dasher
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I downloaded the book when it was offered as a First Reads promotion.
I enjoyed the parts of the historical fiction. I dropped the star down to 3 because I did not enjoy the parts about family and friendship as much as I did the historical fiction.

The Player by Denise Grover Swank
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This e-book has been in My Digital Library since 2017. I read romance novels for entertainment, and there were some entertaining parts with the groom's family. I found the plot too contrived and still wanted to see how the author would get to the happily-ever-after.

Homemaker by Ruthie Knox
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I downloaded this Kindle book when it was offered as a Prime First Reads in May 2025.
This is not just another woman who wants to solve a mystery; Prairie Nightengale has upset the community before when she noticed something was wrong when a doctor did not send a check into the PTO. Now she notices another Mom has an expensive bag and yet cannot have a broken taillight fixed. Then another Mom goes missing. Prairie just wants to find her so that children do not worry about their missing mother. Prairie knows that since most police officers are men, they may not understand the culture of women around them and are unlikely to ask pertinent questions. And so, she keeps asking questions and helping other women to talk about what they may know about the life of this missing woman.
I found myself asking what did I know about the women's lives about the girls with whom I went to high school. What did I know about the culture of the women in this community where I currently live?
I think this mystery might be a good Book Club selection.
