One of the gals in my book club picked Baby Grand by Dina Santorelli.  I hadn't heard of this book, nor this author.  And all I can say is, I’m SO glad it was picked!  I had no idea what to expect – and was pleasantly surprised.  Ms. Santorelli has some new fans!Baby Grand is an intense, suspenseful, nail-biter of a mystery that had me sucked in from the very beginning.  The author’s writing style makes her book easy to follow and makes you want to know what will happen next.  I found it very difficult to put down – serious page-turner!  Full of parallel stories that come together perfectly at the end. And one of the many things I loved about this book is that it was not predictable.I felt the characters were well-developed, and the more I read, the more I wanted and needed to know about them.  I loved a few, despised a few, wanted to punch a few, and would love to slap one or two.  And there was one character in particular that I loved to hate...and hated to love.After I read the book, I sent Dina a message on Twitter saying that I enjoyed her book.  I also told her that it was our pick for book club and that we were meeting in a couple of days.  Much to my surprise and delight, she said she would be more than happy to Skype into our meeting if we wanted.  Um…yes please!  How cool is that?!  She answered all of our questions and explained to us why she wrote certain scenes the way she did.  That was our best meeting to date.  Thanks, Dina – you rock!I will definitely be reading more from this author.  Looking forward to the sequel!I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a well-written, fast-paced mystery.  Baby Grand gets 5 suspenseful & thrilling stars from me!
