Praise for  The Slow Waltz of Turtles "Tantalizing . . . Fans of tightly organized suspense will consume each word with bated breath. . . . Combining witty prose and breezy wisdom, Pancol's sensational novel is a shape-shifting mystery that will please fans of whodunits and family dramas." -- Publishers Weekly "Pancol seems influenced by the novels of Alexander McCall Smith, and the same mixture of whimsy, exoticism, comedy and moral seriousness is apparent in her work. . . . entertaining." -- The Sydney Morning Herald Praise for The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles "A satisfying read." -- The Washington Post "Bonjour, book lovers. Get ready for best-selling French author Katherine Pancol's American debut. It's a charmer about fortysomething sisters Iris and Josephine, who have taken very different paths in life but come together when each finds herself in need of a little reinvention.

    Seller refused to cancel my order. I placed it at 3 AM and canceled it within 90 seconds. They still got up and denied the cancel and mailed it. The description are not right and regardless of the reviews, this place is a scam. It cost about 10 cents per review through booster company's. You could have 98% seller rating with 3,000 "transactions" for about $300. BEWARE OF THIS SCAM.
