A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

It Had to Be Murder - Cornell Woolrich

This short story was the basis for the famous movie "Rear Window." I watched the movie last month, so I was interested to read the inspiration.

Jeff is trapped in his home due to an injury. He spends his day peering out the window, and one day he starts to witness a pattern. After a few days of this, he's convinced a man has murdered his wife.

I won't say much beyond that, because it didn't take me long to read this. The writing was smooth and held up well for being written in 1942. I could see why this story would inspire someone to make a movie. It was really engaging and easily earns a Good Story! review.
