Description

In 1961 the mob still ruled Hot Springs, Arkansas and had Sheriff Bates under their thumb. When babies are being kidnapped in nearby Pine Hollow, Bates has to put this case to bed before the bosses come down from Chicago. They don't need the heat of a major investigation that could involve the feds. Who is taking the babies? Is the current case connected to the disappearance of babies 25 years ago? In a desperate move to solve the case before the FBI has to be called in, Bates decides to arrest Leslie Richards, the new woman in town, even though there is only thin circumstantial evidence against her. Better for it to be a stranger taking those babies and not one of their own. Leslie has left New York with her ten-year-old daughter hoping to escape from the secrets of her past and the ruins of a relationship, only to discover that there is little peace for her in Pine Hollow, Arkansas.

  • An Unpredictable Read!
Format: Kindle
When Leslie Richards decides to live a quieter, calmer lifestyle in Arkansas, never would she imagine that she would be in the mix of an investigation. With the mob pressuring Sheriff Bates to quiet the investigation for the disappearance of babies, he needs to place the blame on someone. However, the real question lies - who is actually kidnapping these babies? And, why are they committing such a horrible crime? The blurb alone had me hooked, and I can happily say that Ms. Miller did not disappoint. There is something about the author’s writing style and pacing that kept me wanting more. The characters were likable (minus the Sheriff, but you have to have one character that you don’t like), the setting was described well enough to give me a visual of Arkansas during 1961, including some aspects of the Civil Rights Movement. Lastly, the plot was intense and unpredictable, which kept me on my toes. This story was written in the third person point of view with alternating perspectives. What I loved about this read is the fact that even though the reader gets a sense of each character’s thoughts, the author still has the reader guessing all the way through. Even though the book did throw in some snapshots of the Civil Rights Movement, I honestly was expecting more. The main storyline itself may not have needed more detail, but since I’ve read a few reviews of this book, I was looking forward to gathering more information about this time in history. However, this did not deter one bit from my reading enjoyment. I highly recommend this read to those who enjoy suspenseful reads. ... show more

  • Enjoyable Read.
Format: Kindle
This was a suspenseful, enjoyable read. Leslie has left New York to come to Arkansas to start a new life. Unfortunately, the narrow-minded people of the small town do not accept her because she is a Yankee. The Sheriff needs to solve the kidnapping of the babies as soon as possible, and he chooses Leslie to be the guilty person. She has the town against her, the sheriff accusing her of kidnapping, but she won't give in. The story seems to drag a little about half way through. I lost count of how many times Leslie washed dishes and made coffee. A couple of the characters didn't seem to add to the story at all. However, in the end it all came together. I "knew" who did it about half way through the book, but I was wrong. The ending was a great surprise. I would read other books by this author. ... show more

  • interesting story, but coarse language warning
Format: Kindle
This book was a fairly enjoyable read despite my disappointment at easily working out whodunit part way through. Characters were fleshed out ok and it was well written, though somewhat shallow. I especially liked the social issues that were woven throughout the story. In my opinion this was a standard B grade effort, bordering on C grade due to the language. The coarse language peppered throughput may have been realistic in one sense, but it was completely unnecessary and the book would have been a much finer offering without it. ... show more

  • What a twist!
Format: Kindle
Missing babies! This was such an intriguing twist to this mystery in the end. Our author, Maryann Miller has a wonderful talent of leading the reader in one direction and then when least expected pulling the rug out beneath us. I surely didn't expect the villain to be who it was. Nice work, Maryann. And if you dear reader ever have an opportunity to visit a Hot Springs Bath House, treat yourself. They are magnificent. ... show more

  • A Great Read for Mystery Lovers
Format: Paperback
Boxes for Beds is an intriguing story about a determined lady who defies the practices of the day, which included giving up for adoption a baby conceived without benefit of a husband, and chooses ultimately to leave the big city and make a new life for herself and her daughter in the South. I remember the late fifties and the sixties—the Civil Rights marches, Martin Luther King Jr., and all that went with those turbulent times. With this bit of history as a backdrop, the story reached out and invited me into its pages. Realistic, three-dimensional characters kept me reading, and the fact that the perpetrator of the crime wasn't identified until the end of the book kept me guessing and added to my enjoyment of the read. I now look forward to enjoying more of Maryann Miller's books. ... show more

  • Not a book for your nightstand
Format: Kindle
Unless you want to be up half the night finishing it! Maryann Miller is a gifted storyteller. Her characters are beautifully developed- at the end of the book you wonder what will happen to Leslie and Mandy after the mystery is over, just like you would people you had met from down the street. The storyline itself at times feels hauntingly familiar, but Miller never allows you to get comfortable with it. As soon as you think you know what might happen next, she pulls the rug out from under you and keeps you guessing. Miller stays away from stereotyping and tired metaphors, so that the town and the time come alive for the reader. Very enjoyable read, but I DO NOT recommend reading at bedtime if you actually want to get any sleep! ... show more

  • what are the boxes for?
Format: Kindle
Enjoyable story set in the "Freedom Rider" days of the 60's; combining good story telling, well-drawn characters, suspense, mystery, and historical perspective. You will find yourself avidly reading to see how it turns out. I happened to get this on Book Bub as a free book. I have often gotten free books that are lacking in quality...this one was a cut above some others. ... show more

  • Boxes for Beds has a real surprise ending.
Format: Kindle
This book surprised me because I usually read books that I can anticipate what the action will be before it is written. Not this one. The book is well written and will hold you in suspense waiting for the next chapter. Personally, I think this would make a great movie, if there were no rewrites. It's perfect the way it is. I would recommend parents and everyone who like thrillers with suspense, read this book. ... show more
