Customer Reviews

Riviting!!

I enjoyed this book very much!! As a mysteryfan, it kept my undivided attention, and I had to get to the outcome!! I hope to read more from this author!!

This woman is authentic...

This Linda Merlino really knows how to write! Hard to believe this is just her first published novel. This woman is authentic. She writes with such an eye and ear for locale that the reader will come to know the Boston area as well as she does. And she has insight into her characters; she understands them and their innner lives as though she's lived in their skins. To say any more would deprive the reader of the pleasure of a well-plotted novel. Can't wait for her next one. Jack Schmidt

Memorable Characters

Swan Boat Souvenir is an engrossing story with unforgettable characters that deal with some of life's most powerful issues. Merlino writes from the heart.

The Soul of the Child

Ms. Merlino is a skillful writer. She tells an excellently plotted, spiritual mystery, which kept me guessing, up to the end. Each character represents a strain of belief, all at times, symbolic of the many moral choices we face, even if we do not hold a particular creed. Graham Greene's "The End of the Affair" was a story with similar rough edges. Ms Merlino's conclusions challange traditional theology, but in these 'hard tmes', the message presented here is bold and positive. If you care about the souls of children, and their destination, this is the read for you.
