It's Not What I Expected?

I have read other works by this author but this one kind of let me down. The premise of the book was very different and while reading it, it was more like a cat and mouse game. The author saved the basis of the story until the end. Still, there was missing information about the arrest and conviction of Cooper. It was too hard to keep track of all the city officials and their wrongdoing. The ending of Janeen and Special Agent Green was so unrealistic. I am not giving up on this author but I do hope he find the right niche for me.

A woman's gotta do, what a woman's got to do... !!!

Victor McGlothin has written a tremendous story that is so captivating and real. You start this book and won't want to put it down. Janeen, Joyce, Sissy are 3 sisters from Newberry Louisiana and they have put Newberry behind them. Janeen has made a name for herself and is a career woman with values and virtues,then in walks Janeen's fantasy and what is a woman to do when the man in your fantasy is in the flesh, but she is married to Ray. Women really need to know who they are marrying, `cause it doesn't matter how long you are with someone, you still may not know them. Joyce and Janeen know something that Sissy doesn't know, but that's alright, `cause Sissy knows something that they don't know. Sissy is also a woman who knows men and she has what it takes to turn a head and quiet a room in a mere second, but then in walks Mr. Cooper after 3 years, what is a woman to do?? Secrets unravel and let the truth be told, when Joyce & Janine's bookclub decides to read a bestseller about women of Newberry. Uhhhhhhhhhh, who is this author, let the story be told. You will not predict the course of this novel nor the ending, so if you really want a good read, go ahead and get this book and trust me on this, you will enjoy it. Great Job Victor McGlothin!!!!!!!!!!!!

engaging family drama

In Dallas the three Hampton sisters feel they are close to one another, but each one keeps a major secret or two from their beloved siblings. Middle child Janeen feels she has hit the corporate glass ceiling especially when the board selected an outsider for a position that should have been hers, but it is her personal life that is in shambles. She and her womanizing spouse Ray are near the end as he cannot stop hopping the women and even sired a child with one of them. She now salivates over the FBI hunk investigating Ray. The youngest Janesse, called Sissy, is enjoying the wild side of life running with a rough crowd pulling unethical real estate scams. The oldest sibling Joyce sees Sissy deeply kissing and groping Ray; she feels torn between her beloved sisters as she ponders telling Janeen what she has shockingly observed, which would break her relationship with Sissy; or does she remain quiet, which breaks her bond with Janesse? WHAT'S A WOMAN TO DO is an engaging family drama that looks deep into how close siblings really are when secrets are kept that involves all of them. Sissy as the youngest has gotten away with crossing the line many times; Janeen as the middle sibling feels the squeeze above and below at home and at work; finally Joyce is the oldest who sets the moral tone for her younger sisters, but struggles with what she perceives is her moral role as an paragon for them. Victor McGlothin furbishes a strong, insightful and entertaining character study. Harriet Klausner

MAKE YOU WANNA SMACK YOUR MOMMA GOOD!!!

This is a real good book. If you like well matched characters Intrigue, mystery, tasteful and good well thought out writing, then this is the book for you. Must warn you that once you start from page one you won't be able to put it down until you finish it. Victor has a way of making each character come to life and relating each person to someone you might already know. This book is well worth purchasing and adding to your library. The hard part about reading one of his books, is that you have to wait for the next one to come out. But I will do just that, wait for the next one. Do your self a favor and read this book.
