This review is from: Leaving Whiskey Bend (Paperback)
Dorothy Garlock always makes me feel that I am at the place where the action is. Great book. I couldn't put it down until I was finished.
A must buy book. Lots of action and a few laughs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Leaving Whiskey Bend, December 24, 2008
This review is from: Leaving Whiskey Bend (Paperback)
I have read nearly all of Dorothy Garlock's books and always look forward to new offerings from her. She never disappoints. I especially enjoy her stories about life in the 30's and 40's. That would have been MY youth. Leaving Whiskey Bend is not one of my favorites of hers, although it is a good story. It is nearly impossible to imagine people behaving the way they do in this story, especially in today's society, and getting away with it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing release from Garlock, November 23, 2008

This review is from: Leaving Whiskey Bend (Paperback)
Leaving Whiskey Bend is a disappointing out for Dorothy Garlock. The plot of three women escaping the rumor mill and evil Chester Remnick of Whiskey Bend is weak and the character development of all the main characters, weaker. Garlock puts misguided energy into the creation of sympathetic Caleb Morgan in the book's prologue, only to have him come to an untimely end by page 8. Sadly, like Caleb's ludicrously disfunctional family, the novel never recovers from the loss. As the story progresses, the balance of characters--none of whom are particularly likeable--are one-dimensional and never fully defined as tragic or comedic.

Garlock's trademark ability to make landscape and characters come to life on the page doesn't begin to glimmer through the murkiness of this volume which reads more like a first effort than the work of a seasoned writer who's talent is best showcased in the Missouri series and particularly in The Edge of Town (Missouri, Book 1).

Garlock's publisher is fond of using the line, "There is nothing better than Dorothy Garlock at her best," Sandra Brown, New York Times bestselling author. Unfortunately, Leaving Whiskey Bend is far from Garlock's best work. If you haven't read her, don't start here. Check out her Missouri series.
