The Gardeners’ Club

Posted on May 15, 2026May 15, 2026 by Econogal

Mid-life crisis abounds in the story. Multiple characters are trapped in careers they dislike. The retirees are searching for ways to stay meaningful. And the youngsters, they, are uncertain in which direction to strike out. All are searching for answers.

Winning a coveted gardening competition depends on solving the murders. And the competition prize may be the answer for all the members of the gardeners’ club.

As the key character, Gill’s growth is most notable. Particularly in how she relates to those around her. The transition from an individual seeking help to make daily decisions to one that knows what she wants is uplifting. Furthermore, after many years of identifying primarily as a widow she begins living life again.

You Belong Here Book Review

Posted on May 5, 2026May 5, 2026 by Econogal

The cover of You Belong Here has an almost hidden “Don’t” between the first two words of the title. This mirrored my thoughts on the Megan Miranda title. As I was reading the book I felt like the title and the book didn’t quite match. However, the ending gives deeper meaning. In fact, the entire book is loaded with many layers.

On the surface the novel is an intense drama filled with missing persons and murder. Then, family dynamics come to the forefront. Especially parent/child relationships. But other forces are also at work. Anyone with experience of living in a college town understands the complex nature of the town/gown relationship. You Belong Here has all of this.

Beckett Bowery is a single mom dropping her only child, Delilah, off at college when the story opens. Beckett, named for one of the buildings at the college Delilah will attend has a difficult relationship with her parents and a decent relationship with Trevor, Delilah’s father. Mother and child are close but not without secrets.

Unbeknownst to Beckett, Delilah had applied to the same college her grandparents had taught at and her own mother had attended. Beckett never shared why she distanced herself both from her parents and her hometown. This resulted in a forbidden attraction for Delilah.

Megan Miranda has written an intense suspenseful novel with incredible depth. The surface story captures the reader with action. But it is the under story that captures the reader’s thoughts long after finishing the book. Relationships between parents and their children are complex. Reactions have consequences far after the event. And life can change not only from a single event, but even a single (re)action or a misplaced comment.

Miranda is a top selling author for a reason. I highly recommend this book.

Dating After the End of the World Book Review

Posted on April 27, 2026April 27, 2026 by Econogal

Dating After The End Of The World opens up with a young Casey Pearson struggling with the doomsday prepping task of building a perimeter fence with her off-the-wall prepper dad. She hates the work and harbors bitterness for her dad and more so for the kids that torment her at school over the family lifestyle.

Flash forward sixteen years and Casey is bantering with her fiancé Nate Warner as the pair of doctors begin making rounds at a city hospital during an influenza outbreak. But this is not the regular flu and patients are biting everyone in sight. Zombies are here.

The pair escape the hospital only to be separated weeks later. Casey does the only thing she can and heads home.

Last Train to Paradise Book Review

Posted on April 16, 2026April 16, 2026 by Econogal

If Last Train to Paradise existed during my school days, I am sure the Les Standiford history would have been required reading. However, the text was not published until the early 21^st Century. Thus, the non-fiction account was an option. And a very good one for history buffs and others.

The Last Train to Paradise is more than a biography of Henry Flagler. The book chronicles his life and work. But at heart, the writing conjures the trials and tribulations of building the Florida East Coast Railway. A feat most said was not possible, indeed only a folly.

Les Standiford writes both fiction and non-fiction. This gives Last Train to Paradise an edge in literary circles because the writing is engaging even though it is at core factual history. Standiford catches the reader from the start with a snippet on Ernest Hemingway as the Hurricane of 1935 approaches. Then he dives into a deep history of Henry Flagler.

This roundabout approach works. The reader knows a catastrophe is on the horizon. The writer is up to the task of both entertaining and positing the inevitable outcome of building a railway over the open sea. Last Train to Paradise captures the reader.

For readers unfamiliar with Henry Flagler, the author does an outstanding job from a biographical viewpoint. Flagler made the choice to develop the Atlantic Coast of Florida instead of remaining actively involved with Standard Oil. The development of cities, hotels and railway lines used up much of Flagler’s oil fortune.

So, while J.D. Rockefeller remains a recognizable name, outside of Florida, Flagler is not as well known. Fortunately for history buffs, historians such as Les Standiford are preserving the past.

The details of the Florida East Coast Railway construction are preserved in books such as Last Train to Paradise as well as museums and other writings. Visitors to the Florida Keys can see remnants of the passageway. Those vacationers driving to Key West will have the best understanding of the magnitude of the task of building the railway.

Family Drama Book Review

Posted on April 9, 2026April 9, 2026 by Econogal

The current story focuses on the motherless twins growing up to adulthood. Viola and Sebastion differ in personalities as well as in memories of their mother. Viola is serious and scholarly like her father even though her looks resemble her mother. Sebastion is far more artsy and hates to study. Plus, he is obsessed with Susan the actress.

Fallon’s plot is intriguing, if a bit unsettling. Young Viola falls in love with her mother’s co-star when she meets him at the funeral. And again, many years later as a college student in England. Their relationship is troubling until the author unravels the plot.

Meanwhile, Sebastian continues his rebellion against their father. He is unwilling to accept a replacement for his mother even though her death occurred fifteen years prior. Fortunately, Sebastian learns to channel his anger into art.

The distancing between the twins as they mature is blamed by both on their mother’s premature death. Yet, they are also accountable.

The Fair Weather Friend Book Review

Posted on March 11, 2026March 11, 2026 by Econogal

Jessie Garcia’s The Fair Weather Friend captivated me from start to finish. This can’t put down book is full of surprises right up to the very end. And I am not quite sure how I feel about the outcome. Multiple characters in the novel face moral dilemmas. Not all choose wisely.

The story has numerous points of view with most of the main characters baring their souls to the reader. Some are deserving of empathy, most are not. The Fair Weather Friend is so much more than a murder mystery.

Faith’s early demise by foul play keeps her from protagonist status. But the story truly revolves around her. A popular TV meteorologist, her murder is the focus of the story. The other characters are either suspects, co-workers or fans. Garcia advances the story through various points of view.

Garcia’s twists in the plot are truly surprising. Additionally, many of the characters lack empathy for the murder victim. Indeed, they make the departed unlikeable.

Then a second character is murdered, and everything twists again.

We meet Wendell Jones on an executive bonding retreat for the various compliance officers of Peregrine Perch. He is out of his natural element and quite concerned about the first day task, rock climbing in California. He completes the task and immediately quits. Both the retreat and his job.

Back in Colorado, he begins walking dogs for a living. And starts a rebellion against his old boss. Key to Wendell’s transformation from compliance officer to renegade leader for common sense laws are friends, Michael Porter, Mr. Tuttle, owner of an area landscape company, Erica, and the many residents of Peregrine Perch.

Wendell becomes a hero to all as he sabotages park landscape rules and regulations.

The overarching theme in I Know Why Old Men Plant Trees is the dark side of algorithms and artificial intelligence. Common sense goes out the window when a society tries to keep everything within a narrow window of parameters. Exceptions and anomalies are part of life, but it is easier for bureaucrats to maintain conformity. Otherwise, those in charge must engage in critical thinking to ensure fairness and justice. Algorithms and AI are restricted by their inputs. At least for now, computers cannot think for themselves.

Innocence Road Book Review

Posted on January 19, 2026January 19, 2026 by Econogal

Leanne Everhart returned to Madrone, Texas following the death of her father. She now works for the Madrone Police Department just like he did. Following in his shadow is not easy.

Tough and experienced by a stint in the city, Leanne faces a complicated life back in the small town. Her brother is a recovering addict with a secret girlfriend. And then there is her mom. Since her mom remarried just weeks after her father’s death, Leanne holds a bit of a grudge.

Finally, Duncan Harper, a sheriff’s deputy has a soft spot for Leanne. But she is keeping him at arm’s length despite her feelings for him. Why, is a bit of a mystery. So, life is complicated for Leanne even without two major cases popping up to catch her off-guard.

The Black Wolf Book Review

Posted on January 9, 2026January 9, 2026 by Econogal

Climate change is central to the novel. Specifically, the author writes about wildfire, similar to the huge wildfires North America has experienced over the last few years. She deftly ties the wildfires to water quality. Furthermore, Penny takes this point one step further. “What happens when the water runs out?” Historically, wars are fought over resources and power. Penny stresses this fact throughout The Black Wolf. And as often happens fiction can be a precursor to life. Is it possible that Canada could become the 51^st state?

One of the complexities of the Gamache series is the plethora of characters. It is possible for the reader to become confused. Another difficulty relates to Inspector Gamache inability to decide who the mastermind is. And who can be trusted. This is intentional. The twists and turns engage the reader.

The characters are divided into three groups, those always in the books, those appearing from time to time and first-time appearances. New readers will have a hard time keeping everything straight in The Black Wolf. Perhaps even devoted followers.

One of the zingers in the novel relates to the current political climate. The plot of The Black Wolf hinges on strained relations between Canada and the United States of America. Penny proposes in her fiction that a plot is underfoot to merge the two countries. Both misinformation and disinformation play a part. Power figures include politicians and the mafia as well as various police forces. The current real-life idea of a fifty-first state iterated by President Trump mirrors the fiction. Penny unknowingly foreshadowed this power move. Again, it boils down to “What happens when the water runs out?”

The Correspondent Book Review

Posted on January 4, 2026January 4, 2026 by Econogal

The Correspondent begins in 2012. At first, the letters are spaced close together and the reader discovers Sybil’s background and character in fits and starts. She corresponds mostly by hand-written notes with everyone from family members and favorite authors to children and teenagers. She also fires off missives of anger and contempt to individuals deserving such admonishments.

The book reveals everything through this format. And while it may be difficult to follow at first, Evans does an excellent job engaging the reader. Over the course of the decade, Sybil grows and gains understanding, even as she reaches her eighties.

Aging is a small piece of the novel. Health issues creep up as the years pass reflecting real life. Sybil is losing her sight, and this threatens her at the core. Writing letters becomes increasingly difficult and as the years go by, and time between missives widens.

The overarching theme is family relationships. The mother-daughter relationship between Sybil and her daughter, Fiona, is a major component of the story. As is the loss of a child. So, it is not surprising that grief, guilt, culpability and blame play important parts in The Correspondent.

All The Beauty In The World: The Metropolitan Museum Of Art And Me Book Review

Posted on December 29, 2025December 29, 2025 by Econogal

All The Beauty In The World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art And Me by Patrick Bringley is the most insightful and hauntingly beautiful memoir I have ever read. The author shares the pain of losing a sibling way to early and how a position as a security guard at the Metropolitan of Art helps him heal along with the passage of ten years. His descriptions of the plethora of masterpieces on display shine through the rote and routine of grief.

The reader only glimpses his home life. Much of what is depicted is life at the museum. Bringley focuses on his interactions with co-workers, the public, and most importantly the art. The beginning of his tenure is tinged with raw grief. As the years pass, his reflections encompass grief, current life and thoughts about the future.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art encompasses history of mankind and beyond. Illustrations include a map as a reminder to those who have visited. For those without that pleasure, the map and illustrations of various art pieces will stir a desire to visit New York, if only to walk through the museum.

Bringley does justice with his descriptions. Not just the masterpieces, but also how the public interacts with the museum itself. Various types of individuals are described, both good and not so good. From chattering school children to college student to art lovers, the museum welcomes all.

The book came recommended by a family member. Perhaps she guessed I might be ready for this introspective on grief. Certainly, my last five years have brought forward much pain. The glimpses into Bringley’s private life allow one to feel a connection. Reconciliation of the loss of a loved one does not occur in just a few months. It takes years.

Perhaps others in similar situations will also relate. If so, my hope is that All The Beauty In The World: The Metropolitan Museum Of Art And Me brings you peace. Life does not stop for the living. There are new challenges and new seasons. Many reasons to keep living.

I highly recommend All the Beauty In The World. My parents took me to many museums. (Although I first stepped into The Metropolitan Museum of Art with college roommates.) Then we took my children. Now, my husband and I accompany our children while they introduce their children to the many wonderful museums. And of the many museums, The Met is at the top.

However, Bringley’s memoir is so much more than the inspiration of art. The process of grief differs for each individual. The loss of a parent, child, sibling, mentor or close friend brings a change that cannot be undone. Death is permanent. Patrick Bringley understands this. Furthermore, All The Beauty In The World is his acknowledgement of his brother’s passing; an uncle his children will only know through stories. And this story is a great tribute.

If you are grieving or know someone who is, buy this book, read and if appropriate, share. The memoir is as beautiful as the art at The Metropolitan Museum.

Econogal’s Top Ten Books of 2025

Posted on December 5, 2025December 5, 2025 by Econogal

The close of another year once again brings a listing of the top books read by this blogger. The year started out with lots of time spent turning the pages. However, the fall proved sporadic. There are many excuses. Hopefully, this trend does not continue into the new year.

Even with the slowdown, it was hard to keep to just ten. Once again, very little non-fiction. The one I connected with, The Ageless Brain by Dale E. Bredesen, M.D., was panned by the bigwigs. However, I stand by my review which you can click here to read. I think the other reviewers missed the forest while searching for trees.

I also enjoyed the sole Young Adult review, Fun Fact: I Love You. This debut novel by Gina Lynn Larsen makes me want to read more of this genre. And of course I need not neglect books for younger children.

A Matter of Pedigree Book Review

Posted on November 26, 2025November 26, 2025 by Econogal

Three generations of Capobianco’s are introduced in the novel. Frank and Carole are the sandwich generation. Big Frank and Mom are Frank’s parents (and very close to Carole). Connie, a lawyer, and Frank-O, a student artist are the younger generation. Eventually, Polly, Carole’s mother, arrives on the scene as well. All feature in A Matter of Pedigree.

Additionally, residents of the original condo as well as the apartments where Frank and Carole ended up, take part in the story. All fall under Carole and Mom’s investigative eyes. Of course, Poopsie steals the role of heroine.

Posted on November 6, 2025November 6, 2025 by Econogal

Ryan is a career military helicopter pilot. And a confirmed bachelor. He is in Shelter Springs to care for his thirteen-year-old niece Audrey, while her mom Kim is in rehab after an accident. His loyalty to Kim stems from the loss of their mother when they were both young teens.

However, he must also interact with his estranged father who lives in nearby Haven Point with his second wife Diane, who broke both an arm and leg in the accident. Ryan genuinely likes Diane but has no desire to be around his father. Most importantly, he must care for Audrey.

Holly and Ryan make a deal to help each other. Holly needs a date to a wedding she must attend since Lydia is the flower girl in her dad’s sister’s wedding. And Ryan needs help making Christmas bright for his niece and sister.

Idaho weather makes a romantic backdrop for the growing attraction between the pair. Snow kissed nights of family-oriented outings allow the attraction to grow. Naturally, both fight their feelings because a long-distance relationship is not easy.

I Cheerfully Refuse Book Review

Posted on October 6, 2025October 6, 2025 by Econogal

I Cheerfully Refuse is set in the not-too-distant future in the vicinity of the Great Lakes. There were references to events taking place in the twentieth century. Also, the book alluded to lots of pollution and great storms. Finally, the stage is set between “haves” and “have-nots.”

The “haves” are the uber-wealthy and the ones that work for them. Perhaps there is a parallel with the billionaires of the early twenty-first century. The main villain of the story is a bureaucrat named Werryck. He and Rainy cross paths multiple times.

Ranier, known as Rainy, is married to Lark. Their marriage is solid and their lives happy even though they do not live among the astronauts. Apparently, those with money live on the coasts of the country and are referred to as astronauts. But money doesn’t buy happiness.

Rainy is a musician and Lark is a bookseller. She is the optimist and her upbeat way of looking at life while pushing the edges allows Rainy to get through the dark days of life. He is one to learn from others. Furthermore, Rainy is the person who is always there for others, even at a personal cost.

Parents Weekend Book Review

Posted on September 29, 2025September 29, 2025 by Econogal

I very much enjoyed this thriller. Although this was a library check out, purchasing the book is certainly an option with respect to gift-giving. The author is not the happily ever after type. Furthermore, there is more than one male character with sexual exploitation as a character flaw. But when it comes time to reveal the culprits, Finlay packs a surprise punch. Buy a copy or check it out from your local library. The depth of cultural observation coupled with a fast-paced mystery/thriller creates a winning novel.

One Golden Summer Book Review

Posted on September 8, 2025September 8, 2025 by Econogal

Alice is a professional photographer working her way past a devastating break-up. She’s worked 9 days straight when the call comes in regarding her grandmother’s fall and subsequent hip replacement. She immediately clears her calendar. That is Alice.

With her gran, Nan, down in spirit, Alice decides a summer at the lake would be the perfect tonic for both Everly’s. Alice hasn’t been in over a decade. She was a shy self-conscious seventeen-year-old on her last visit. But it was a summer that changed her life. Good memories remain of that one golden summer at Barry’s Bay.

Charlie is enigmatic. A charming flirt. A successful businessman. And a man of depth. Charlie grew up in the area, indeed he was one of three teenagers Alice used to watch from across the bay. Furthermore, he figures in her first great photo. The first she sold and the one that remains close to her heart.

But Charlie is battling demons and loss from his past. He needs friendship. Perhaps even more.

While others see the spark between the two, Alica and Charlie each fight the attraction for their own reason. But attraction wins out.

These Summer Storms Book Review

Posted on August 9, 2025August 9, 2025 by Econogal

Franklin Storm exerts control from the grave. Three of his children and widow receive letters. And each missive contains one final challenge. Per the will, all must succeed, or no one will inherit.

There is no fairness to the requests. Furthermore, protagonist Alice Storm wants no part of the game. Since she was banished five years ago, no letter was included for her. However, she is instructed not to leave by her father’s second in command.

Greta Storm has the hardest task from an emotional standpoint. Thus, Alice tells her not to comply. Second born Sam, the only male offspring is determined to make everyone comply. Even if it means detaining Alice on the island. Emily, the youngest, has secrets to disclose and the widow Elisabeth is compelled to tell the truth.

Jack Dean, Franklin’s second-in-command, is present to see if the rules are followed. But he has already broken one. Seemingly he is attracted to Alice. The feeling is somewhat mutual. Unsurprisingly, there are complications and greed shines through. Can the siblings work together?

I love this novel, and it is perfect for summer reading. However, the writing leaves nothing to the imagination when Alice and Jack come together so it may not be acceptable to some readers. Plus, I do not recommend for readers under 18. But for those who enjoy spicy romance novels with more substance than just a love story, this is a winner. My understanding is this is MacLean’s first contemporary novel. I plan to look for her historical releases. Furthermore, I hope she continues to spin tales filled with rich characters such as those in These Summer Storms.

Fun Fact: I Love You Book Review

Posted on August 4, 2025August 4, 2025 by Econogal

The leading pair have been friends forever. However, their friendship took a backseat to high school. Nellie and Jensen run in the same social circle. But she is unaware of how he feels about her. Then a high school prank goes awry, quickly followed by real life tragedy, and the pair are thrown together again.

Nellie is the school valedictorian with a five-year plan. She will graduate with an associate’s degree and a high school diploma and looks forward to leaving home for UNLV. She is close to her dad and at odds with her mom. Occasionally she forgets her studies to crush on school heart throb Sterling. Until he pranks her. Also unsettling for Nellie is the prankster’s cohort in crime is her best friend, Britta.

Jensen is on a different path. No college in the immediate future. Instead, he plans to continue his current (secret) work. Unbeknownst to his classmates and teachers, Jensen Nichols is writing sci-fi/fantasy under the pen name Jen Dimes. Only a few people know of his secret life including his mom, and Nellie’s dad.

Gina Lynn Larsen is outstanding in her debut novel. Perhaps there were a few weaknesses. (How on Earth could Nellie and Britta be BFF all the way through High School?) Yet, I found Fun Fact: I Love You to resonate with realism with respect to Nellie. And Jensen? I am sure there are many teen writers out there with various levels of success. So, I found the story stirring with emotion, satisfying on a plot level and over the top with respect to the growth of the characters. I highly recommend for teens and above. I really need to start reading more YA! Closing the book yielded satisfaction from a really good story.

Strangers In Time Book Review

Posted on July 29, 2025July 29, 2025 by Econogal

Readers of the action-adventure genre are familiar with David Baldacci, author of Strangers In Time. However, this novel is a stand alone instead of one of his many series’. Since I am not familiar with his previous non-series novels, I can’t compare. All I can say is, Wow!

Strangers In Time reminds me of a classic story such as Tale of Two Cities (Charles Dickens), The Sound and The Fury (William Faulkner) or The Sun Always Rises (Ernest Hemingway) and yes this is high praise. The kudos are well-deserved. One caveat, historical fiction is not for everyone.

Baldacci captures the reader’s interest with the actions of young Charlie Matters trying to pilfer from those with excess in order to eat. He stumbles onto a bookstore run by Ignatius Oliver and scores a great amount of cash. Unbeknownst to the scamp, he has witnessed wartime intrigue.

The final main character in the story is Molly Wakefield. She is just returning to London from a five-year exile only to find both city and home drastically changed. Molly, Charlie and Ignatius Oliver form a bond more like family than friendship.

But can the bond survive the secrets of the three?

Historical fiction is one if my favorite genres. Additionally, David Baldacci is a favorite author. In fact, Baldacci has made an Econogal Best Books List. Since we are over half way through the year, I believe Strangers In Time will easily make the 2025 index. While there is action and intrigue, the heart of the story is the relationship between the main characters and their struggle to both stay alive and sane in the midst of war.

Baldacci’s writing is not formulaic. His storytelling stands above. I highly recommend this book for both reading and gift-giving! Find a copy today.

Summer In The City Book Review

Posted on July 23, 2025July 23, 2025 by Econogal

Elle is a very successful screenwriter with a hidden identity. She is up against a deadline to produce a script centered around New York City. But her last stay there ended on a bad note. Because her instant attraction to Parker Warren was spurned by his “I can buy anything” billionaire attitude. She hopes to never run into him again.

However, Elle returns to the city hoping to break her writer’s block with free rent in exchange for overseeing a remodeling job. As luck would have it, (or perhaps bad luck) Mr. Warren lives across the hall.

With a case of opposites attracting, Elle and Parker try to ignore the tension. Furthermore, each needs the other for business reasons. So, they agree to “see” each other just for the summer.

Parker tries to ferret out her true identity and Elle fiercely protects her anonymity. All the while slowly falling for each other. Finally, they run into someone who knows, really knows Elle and her story tumbles out. Parker falls more in love than ever. And like a true romance-blows his opportunity.

I enjoyed Alex Aster’s love story and found her characters compelling. The romance is real as is the angst when things don’t work out right away. Aster keeps the reader hoping for a happy ending and then delivers. This was a library checkout, but between the title, the map highlighting NYC on the inside cover and the blurb on the cover, it could have been an easy buy if I first spotted it in a bookstore. It is a spicy love story with explicit scenes so I would label this for adult eyes only.

Where the Rivers Merge Book Review

Posted on July 6, 2025July 6, 2025 by Econogal

As Eliza shares her history with a younger generation, the reader becomes a part of the learning. The 20^th Century arrived on horseback and by 1988, the current time period of Where the Rivers Merge, rocket ships and women CEOs were present, if not the norm. A lifetime of change.

Monroe’s writing touches on technological, political, racial, and gender equality progress. Yet, she is not preachy. The story unravels naturally, allowing the reader to experience history. Eliza is the vehicle to convey past, present and perhaps the future.

Flashbacks in Where the Rivers Merge occur through the stories Eliza tells Savannah and Norah. Both women are eager to hear her story, as was this reader. The author masterfully employs this technique to bring the past to life while simultaneously creating resonating characters.

At the end of the novel, Eliza is only partway through her life story. Hence the abrupt ending. Mainstream literature has yet to develop devoted followers of lengthy novels such as those readers of fantasy or sci-fi. If Where the Rivers Merge belonged in either of those genres we would have but one book. However, Monroe is mainstream and so Book Two: The Rivers’ End cannot be published soon enough for this reader.

Beach House Rules Book Review

Posted on June 28, 2025June 28, 2025 by Econogal
