review 1: "All the word 'tis strange except for me and thee, and sometimes I wonder about thee." Sun Tunnels and Secrets had a great hook! Three quirky, elderly sisters traveling across the desert, come across a naked body in the desert. Rather than take time to deal with the situation, they head on out to a landmark called the Sun Tunnels, vowing to take care of the situation on their return trip. However, the body is gone when the come to the spot they left him. The plot weaves in and around several characters whose relationships are muddied and muddled at times. Warburton creates characters who are rich and well developed; I loved the elderly sisters, their relationship, their idiosyncrasies, and their secrets kept me turning pages. Her plot twists in unexpected ways with unexpec... moreted characters. One of the sisters has secrets that might be better left hidden. The young car thief has a warped moral compass and a weird sense of propriety. We get to know Kelli through her letters to the brother she looks up to, and she wonders if anyone will ever match up to him. Perhaps the handsome wrangler, Toni will, but she feels about him the same way she feels about her brother. You'll enjoy this jaunt across the Utah desert and through quaint home town of Grouse Creek. Warburton writes in a homey style which matches the setting. One of my favorite lines from the book is when Ruth, one of the sisters, prays over their meal. "Dearest Lord, let this stifling July heat give us strength to endure the freezing cold ahead. And today let us be truly grateful for good friends, frozen food, and a working microwave." Before anyone can dish a spoonful of the lasagna, Ruth plops a huge helping into her dog's dish. Who couldn't love a dear, sweet soul like that. Take a moment and read this mystery/romance. You'll be glad you did.
review 2: This book has a little bit of everything, mystery, romance, suspense and humor. I really loved the three older sisters Norma, Mabel and LaRue and their ever revolving relationships. Norma has to be my favorite sister; but she was the closest to a main character in the book. I also really loved the character of Tony. He was definitely the most likable male characterin the book. Even though there were several stories going on in the book, most of the small stories were connected with each other. Even with the many stories, they were all veryeasy to follow. I think most adults and teens would like this book. There are enough male characters in this bookto keep the interest of men and women. less
