Sharon Bolton and 7 other people liked Shannon's review of The Buried (The Craftsman #2): "4.5 stars. A really great read. I was totally enthralled the whole time. I love this author's writing abilities, she's just fantastic. My only complaints (and they are minor) are that the time shift in the middle of the book made things a bit confusi" Read more of this review »

Sharon Bolton and 2 other people liked Linda's review of The Buried (The Craftsman #2): "I love Sharon Boltons novels, and this is no exception. A sequel, and cunningly a prequel to The Craftsmen, it would have been a help if I had reread the later to bring me up to speed with the plot.

Quotes by Sharon J. Bolton (?)

“If you have to choose between terrible grief and terrible guilt, I think grief is easier, in the end.”
― Sharon Bolton, Little Black Lies

16 likes

“The people we love fall into two distinct camps, it seems to me. First, those whom we are obliged to care for, connected to us through ties of blood and, occasionally, other people’s marriages. Then there are those few souls who suit us so perfectly that we cannot help but love them. Those whose very presence seems to lift our spirits, soothe our ruffled feathers, tilt the disturbed world so that its axis is true again.”
― Sharon Bolton, Little Black Lies

“I was prepared to be lenient when it was my own safety at stake but if he hurts my dog, I will kill him.”
