TWILIGHT WHISPERS by Barbara Delinsky

January 14, 2005

TWILIGHT WHISPERS by Barbara Delinsky is a reissue of a book that was originally published in 1987. It was also her first mainstream novel, after spending the first part of her career writing straight romance novels. I for one enjoy these mainstream novels, because I feel she's much better at them. Her romances don't seem to stand the test of time, but this book did.

TWILIGHT WHISPERS is the story of two powerful and wealthy families, told from various view points but for the most part, centering on the murder of two of their members, Mark Whyte and his wife Deborah Warren. An outsider, Robert Cavanaugh, is the one that starts the book off, as he is the investigator for the murders and he starts the case by researching the history of the two families.

While the murder plot line helped make the story move fast, what interested me the most was the family saga of the Whytes and the Warrens. Delinsky always does a good job with stories such as this, and I really liked the book. For those expecting a straight romance, this is not it. Look elsewhere. But for those who want more than just romance, read TWILIGHT WHISPERS. This book comes recommended by the Ratmammy.

This review is from: Twilight Whispers (Mass Market Paperback)

This novel is part romance, part mystery, part family saga -- and while it lacks a clear categoric definition, I found all parts of story interesting. People are not always what they seem, and Delinsky does a very good job interweaving the tales of the various characters with the plot twists to a satisfying (if vaguely improbable) ending.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT AS GOOD AS OTHER DELINSKY BOOKS, May 5, 2005

I got about 3 or 4 chapters into this book and had to quit. It had too many people in it and it was hard to remember who was who. I am a new Barbara Delinsky fan and have read about 6 of her other books. My favorite one so far is The Vineyard.
