Looking for Peyton Place

Over the past five years I have been reading Barbara's books and I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. She always includes the right ingredients-romance, mystery, suspense, and a thoroughly happy ending. This one is no exception....it is also very informative, and she appears to have done sufficient research on the topics of which she speaks. I read all the other customer reviews and I don't understand why some people read her books with such a critical eye. Some people are just too picky!! This is a great read and I look forward to her next novel. I may even suggest this one for our neighborhood book club to read. Thank you, Barbara.

I have been an avid Barbara Delinsky fan since reading THREE WISHES - her newest novel definitely lived up to my expectations. It was an excellent read and, when putting it down, I couldn't wait to pick it up again. I am planning on reading the original Peyton Place novel by Grace Metalious, which is an important part of the story. I would highly recommend LOOKING FOR PEYTON PLACE.

As usual, Barbara Delinsky has provided me with an outstanding summer read! Looking for Peyton Place is not just a mindless romance story. It involves little known facts about mercury poisoning, chelation, and the original Peyton Place author, Grace Metalious. I have enjoyed all of her books so much, and this one was not a disappointment. This is an excellent choice for travelers who spend time in airports as well as beach bums.

I have just finished another great book by Barbara Delinsky. She never fails to educate me about something in a thoroughly enjoyable novel. This time it was Grace Metalious and mercury poisoning. The story is about an author who is haunted by the stigma she felt from her small New England town and the haunting influence of the author of Peyton Place. In an effort to find out why her mother died she goes back to the town she grew up in to finds answers. What she also finds is love, family, a home and peace of mind. As usual I love Barbara's plot, characters, the building of relationships and what I learned.
