Everything Sirious
The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh my! What a great great book. Couldn’t put it down. Really enjoyed this. Well written and such an interesting topic. And based on a true story, even better. Everything from the characters to the setting and the plot were well described; had the tiniest bit of a questionmark at the ending but certainly not impossible.

Great author (Diane Chamberlain) who handles a sensitive subject and time frame with grace. The topic is upsetting (prejudice and violence) but it is well done through switchbacks of the present with the past and all centered around a neighborhood and its houses. This is the third five star I have read by Ms. Chamberlain, the others being The Dream Daughter and Necessary Lies. Well done.
JoJo Moyes doesn’t disappoint in this one, another five star (she has many in my opinion). Unlike a few of them that despite being excellent were huge heart tuggers, this one, while having a few spots that might bring a tear, does end up tied with a red bow. The plot a novel one and a horse of course – no animal abuse here – if you love horses, and are familiar at all with dressage, you can absolutely picture the well described scenes in the book. Set in London and the countryside which also pulled a heart string, I highly recommend this one (as well as her others if you haven’t read them!)
