Books by Carla Neggers
Harbor Island sounded kind of fun. The heroine is the granddaughter of a famous art detective, and she’s an FBI agent on the trail of a serial art their. The hero is part of the same FBI team. Stolen art! Dead bodies! Boston! Ireland! It’s sounds great, but it’s actually convoluted and, more t ...
That Night on Thistle Lane is a small-town romance of the New England variety, which basically means the neighbors are less nosy and there’s more herb gardening than in its Southern counterpart. This book has the sort of tranquil mood to it you might expect in one of those small New England towns, ...
Do you like romances filled with secondary characters - so many that you forget who the hero and heroine are? If you do, then you might enjoy Carla Neggers’ Cold River. After awhile, I found myself laughing as each new character was thrown into the mix; it was either that or cry in frustration. ...
There’s always a mixture of excitement and fear when I try a new-to-me author – will I discover a treasure or not? Sadly, Cold Pursuit is a "not." It wasn’t bad in the beginning and had a plot that I generally enjoy – the main characters were completely in love with each other as teenagers, ...

The Harbor follows a popular trend among recent MIRA releases. Like Anne Stuart's Still Lake and Sharon Sala's Dark Water, it involves someone who returns to a small New England town to uncover the truth about a past murder. It also shares the same problem as its predecessors: weak romance, weak sus ...
Call me crazy, but I just don't think two middle school kids should call the shots in a murder investigation. The kids in question, twelve-year-old Henry and eleven-year-old Lillian, belong to Allyson Stockwell, the new governor of Connecticut. These two adorable scamps show up o ...
Nothing about this story made any sense to me at all. The inane heroine behaves in totally irrational ways, the inane hero is even worse, the grandmother gives new meaning to the word gullible, inane Villain #1 is too-stupid-to-live, really inane Villain #2 is even dumber, and Villain #3 is just pla ...
