This is one of my all time favorite books! I could not put it down! Being an Air Force wife myself,I loved reading about and relating to military life.The characters are wonderful and the plot did not disappoint. I immediately ran out and bought copies for my friends as well as the second book Barksdale Blues, which is equally outstanding! Kudos to Margie and Amanda for their witty, charming piece of work. We want more!

A Fun Refreshing Read

While buying a second copy of General's Row to send to my aunt I was amused to read a recent review regarding the lack of realism and the stereotyping of Air Force wives. Obviously this reader falls into a stereotypical category of her own, the Air Force wives that are envious of others' success and too petty to recognize fun when they see it. Perhaps a literature refresher is needed: fiction means "not-true". As a B-52 pilot, I am qualified to say that there are quite a few women who meet these stereotypes on just about every base, the Air Force is a melting pot of diverse and interesting people. My wife listened to the authors speak at the Military Child Coalition Convention and the authors described the characters as a combination of several friends and acquaintances, one of whom was present and quite proud of her role. This book is not meant to be a sociological journal on military life, it is meant to be a light-hearted, easy read. My wife and her church group eagerly await the authors' next installment. Well done!

Sue Grafton Meets Erma Bombeck

This is a clever tale, delightfully told. The reader is introduced to eminently believable characters with the kinds of quirky personalities that make them seem to be old friends. The story line doesn't suffer as we get some gratuitous insight into the life of senior officers on a major military installation and learn a bit of the history of "Generals Row." Not since Inspector Clouseau has a malefactor been dogged by a more zany team of crime fighters. This is a fun read, an interesting mystery without the endless pages of psychobabble and introspective belly button gazing found in many current mystery books. We're eagerly awaiting the next installment!

What a Mystery!

This book is definitely a MUST READ! I am an avid reader and enjoyed this book tremendously. The plot is excellent and is full of surprises. This is a book that I could not put down because I had to know the ending! As a reader, you connect with the characters easily and experience their emotions with them. I recommend this book to people who love to read and to those who only read occasionally.

Great Book!!!

I recieved a copy of this book about a week ago. I couldn't put it down! Margie and Amanda are wonderful writers. The book will keep you in suspence and in stitches.The charactor "Kat" makes me laugh. She reminds me so much of my mother. Sick, but true...If you have a chance to read this book, you won't be sorry. It's GREAT!!!
