S. Encinger: There were times I thought I knew what would happen, and I read it right. Then there were times I didn’t. Love this book. Romantic, sad, suspenseful. Worth your time.

Sandy Greathouse: I really enjoyed this story. A timeless love story, with danger just around the corner. Great characters, and a good mystery.

magi-p: I am an avid reader and Dovetail is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I couldn't wait to turn the next page. Dovetail is a book that you can't put down and you never want it too end. I would give it 100***

Amazon Customer: I enjoyed the style of writing, the innocent love with the modern suspense.
Karen just draws you right in to the story and shows how it all twists and turns from
anguish of secrecy from hate and jealousy and spins all of it into love.

Susan Yea: I really enjoyed this book. No huge surprises, just good characterisation. It's great that the author didn't try to make the grandmother other than she had been when young... I won't give the story away, but, nicely done

MEG: Enjoyed the unfolding of the story over two time periods and the author’s ability to weave the two together seamlessly.

D. C. A. Price: Not as good as the two other books I’ve read by this writer. It was a bit fey and predictable - maybe I’m just too cynical to be able to enter into the spirit of this novel (see what I did there?).

Shari Ring Wolf: This was a good book to read. I only listened to the narration while driving. The male narrator was "ok", but the female narrator was horrible. I especially cringed when she would do the children's voices! I stuck to reading when possible.
I eagerly awaited the release of this book. I've read other books by this author and enjoyed them. I was a little disappointed in this one, likely because I anticipated reading it, so set my expectations high.
It seemed like it took forever for the plot to be set. Once it was, it was a no brainer to know how it would all play out. The characters were quite prim and proper, definitely a G rated story.
Which was fine. What I found unnecessary and a bit irritating was the way the characters in the 1916 setting were given the perceptions of people from the 21st century. I am 62 years old. I am glad to say that thankfully, racism and bigotry have settled down on a formal level, or in books and movies. In this story, Alice's father is liberal minded in a way that had to have been unthinkable back then. I felt like the author candy coated history in order to be 21st century politically correct, a rather chicken hearted...
