A young woman escapes an arranged, abusive marriage to become a desired henna artist. She reunites with a sister she never knew she had. The art of applying the henna & uses for ceremonies & healing properties was very interesting. The girl, Lakshmi, also makes sachets of herbs that prevent pregnancy & she sells them secretly.

I like this book because l like Nancy stories. In this one Nancy has too much clothes but she wants more. This book teaches how to be kind to others. During a " swap-and-shop" at school Nancy wants the same thing like her friend does, but she decides to let her friend have it because she realizes she has so much already.

LAPD Detective Decker attempts to solve the murder of two unidentified totally burned corpses that are uncovered during a camping trip with his girlfriend's two sons. We follow the story line as he tries to identify the bodies and find their killers. At the same time he is trying to share his busy schedule with in-depth study of the Jewish faith of his girlfriend. A little more on the darker side than her first in this series (The Ritual Bath) but well written as he eliminates suspects from his list.

Interesting story about adoption tragedy and redemption. I would recommend this if you like that topic.

John Sanford always writes a good story. In this one Marshall Lucas Davenport & FBI are tasked with investigating who put up a website of Senators kids on the dark web. The website is filled with hate groups like Nazis,KKK stuff & it seems like its promoting killing the kids. The message is directed at people against the government, minorities & religions. A child is shot but not one of the targeted ones. The shooter, Dunn is a lone wolf antigovernment person. Now the hunt for Dunn is escalated & Lucas is tracking down every known home grown terrorist group. Davenport figures out that the website was a publicity hoax by a Senators daughter. Davenport does get the shooter, gets the site shutdown & gets in out in media that site is a hoax to prevent further shootings.

This book starts off so interesting. A man is traveling alone and is approached with a woman who wants to take his identity so she can escape death. He becomes so enthralled by this woman who drugs him and steals his passport that he just has to meet up with her again. She later abducts him and brings him to a very fat woman who used to know his aunt. Then it just gets very boring-in my opinion...
