- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5excellent. Harry looks into stealing of professors writings. Led to a town with a Purple lady and the fortune teller madame dupree. He meets intriguing, peculiar Maggie and falls in love. People in the town don't like these unusual people and think something is going on in their broken temple, trailers and acreage. Ziegart's secrets lead him to academic power, unsolved deaths, and perhaps love. Free electricity to all? maybe.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Harry Sterling has lost much in recent years: his brother, his marriage, his job, his self-esteem. A teaching post at a small college in Florida has given him an opportunity to reevaluate his life and reconnect with his teenage son. But Harry is above all a reporter, so when he stumbles upon a rumor about physicist Charles Ziegart--world-famous for a breakthrough discovery in electrical conductivity--he feels compelled to investigate. Could it be true that the highly respected scientist stole the credit for the "Ziegart Effect" from one of his students?This book was very intriguing and had a surprise ending. I was not looking or even thought of that ending. I don't know if I would read more of her books. It was a good read, but very slow. Maybe I didn't like it because it was so "scientific" in parts. I am reading another of her books (at the same time I was reading this one) called "Every Secret Thing." That one seems a little more interesting.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A traumatized journalist starts over as a lecturer in a rural Florida town, there he meets some locals who tell fortunes and communicate with extraterrestrials. He's especially intrigued by a woman who's all wrong for him, age and class-wise, yet he can't help seeking her out every day. At the same time, he's investigating a intellectual patent case which have some unexpected impact on his new life. The big surprise is well-hidden and threw me for a loop. Each chapter starts with a tarot card and a three-line poem.
