ON MYSTIC LAKE by Kristin Hannah, 4 stars
I am currently reading a book entitled THE MYTH OF SANTA FE by Chris Wilson. The historical content is pretty accurate, as far as I can tell, but his jaded view of the life and times of the Santa Fe residents over the ages, I feel, leaves much to be desired. I would give it 2 stars.
