Contents:
Mark of the Loon was one of two favorites I have among the five books to date, and the characters, plot, and descriptions hooked me in enough that I knew I was going to keep reading the others. Although Gen the series' main character is definitely a part of this story, Madison Boone a real estate agent who flips properties and several of Gen's other friends are introduced here and, in fact, Madison is featured. Really great start to the series! History, mystery and romance are skillfully intertwined to create a canvas that quickly draws the reader in and as the story unfolds its layers reveal yet more depth.
This was the sort of reading experience that I was sorry to part from; every day when my thoughts turned to reading, Mark of the Loon caused me to smile as it beckoned me into the story once more. Read the full review on Literary Inklings Molly Greene is a gifted writer and storyteller.

There's a historical with a dash of paranormal romantic suspense element that complements nicely this contemporary tale of love, trust and friendship. Loved this book and hope to read more of Molly Greene's stories. Such a fun read! I enjoyed this book immensely.
The main female characters were relatable, strong and funny. The plot kept me interested all the way through. I enjoyed the romance--just enough to be fun without making me uncomfortable I'm not a sex scene fan, so this clean romance plot was great. And the ending was great! I cheered out loud at the fun twists and reveals. I will be buying the next book in the series ASAP! I can't wait to see Gen and her friends encounter next.
Wonderful surprise I picked this book up with low expectations because it was a first novel and it was free. What a wonderful surprise! Interesting, intriguing characters and a great plotline with real suspense, lots of red herrings and a very satisfying ending gave me some very pleasurable hours of reading. I am going to buy the next book in the series as soon as I finish this review. Kudos to the author and thanks from a grateful reader! I'm in denial about liking chick lit books. Are those the same thing?

The plot moved along slowly and without any really page turning incidents, then in the last few pages they just wrap everything up. I found it to be boring and will not read any other books in this series or by this author. View all 3 comments. The Lake Sonoma location. This setting and Molly Greene's terrific talent earns Mark of the Loon 5 stars on my book list.
I hope that Molly is busy producing a follow on story again set in this beautiful Sonoma County location and featuring this novel's interesting and talented group of friends. The mainn characters are all fleshed out and real, with real people problems. And well edited to boot!

Madison buys a new house so there is lots of interior decor chat as well as a very real sense of strong relationships between the friends.

It's all sweet and chaste which fits with the novel's cosy vibe. Our mystery revolves around the house itself and Greene sets up the suspense slowly so Mark Of The Loon could initially just be women's fiction, however subtle disturbances and odd occurrences are dripped in to unsettle the reader. The house is a fascinating setting and I wouldn't mind living there myself! I did find the ultimate unveiling to be far-fetched and overly rushed so, to me, it came across as disappointingly silly, but the episode is so brief that, although I suppose it should be the highlight, I found myself thinking of it merely as an aberration before we returned to the 'real' storyline!
Jul 21, Debra rated it really liked it Shelves: Equally mysterious is the reverend who seems highly suspicious of her, the quirky next door neighbor who is a little too interested in the house, and the young man who keeps appearing on the property.
Dark emotions and even darker thoughts seep from these murky depths, harvested by writers whose stories take us down in flames, up in smoke, and leave us helplessly entranced by the haunting call of the loon. Add book to series 4 23 Jan 25, Now, were they really ready to get the whole story? Author Victoria is still working on the series and is about to add a few more novels to this ongoing series in the coming days. Molly Greene is a confident writer and she's tackled a very complex mystery. The book seems to be the first in the series featuring one of the central female characters as a pri I loved the banter between the lady protagonists who were wonderful characters.
Mark of the Loon is a poignant story of love and redemption. Her friends are nicely portrayed, as is the love interest. The pacing works and the mix of light and tense scenes kept me anticipating what would happen next. Although the book is billed as the first Gen Delacourt mystery, Madison is clearly the protagonist.
Dec 24, Charles Ray rated it it was amazing. When Madison Boone buys an old cottage in Sonoma that belonged to a reclusive ornithologist and his wife, her plans are just to fix it up and flip it for profit. The property has a secret, though, and some people are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to uncover it—unfortunately, they have to get Madison off the property first. Mark of the Loon by Molly Greene is a delightful cozy mystery with a wacky, but loveable cast of characters—a group of witty, independent women who operate according to their own rules, and a colorful locale that is lovingly described, without becoming boring.
I loved the pacing; slow and measured until you feel comfortable, and then a burst of frenetic action to get your blood pounding, and just enough budding romance to make it all interesting. A great start to what I predict will be an even greater series. I give it five stars. I was disappointed with this story for two main reasons: Then the good guys quickly tied everything up in a bow, which I found entirely too neat and tidy. My second reason is more personal, and may not apply to you at all: This was really a 'cozy' mystery featuring a I was disappointed with this story for two main reasons: This was really a 'cozy' mystery featuring a group of middle-aged female friends who talk about their feelings over a glass of probably white wine.
I got it as part of a ten-book set for a dollar so I really can't complain. The previous four books in the box set that I have read so far were either police procedurals or thrillers, which are genres I much prefer. I felt that the inclusion of this type of book in the set was misguided and inappropriate. I won't personally be looking to read any more books by Molly Greene.

I loved the banter between the lady protagonists who were wonderful characters. The male characters were not drawn quite as well. The plot was a little convoluted particularly towards the end and I had difficulty following. However, I liked the house with its secret passages, locked doors and hidden keys. The search to uncover the truth behind these was fascinating and kept me reading to the end.

I hope the series pans out well as the author has a fine aptitude for mystery and dialogue. Oct 29, Dai. W rated it liked it. This is the first time I've read anything by Molly Greene and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. However, I didn't really like the execution. While a few plot twists came as a surprise most of them were really predictable. I also didn't like the character's superficial construction.

It may have been because of the silly, childish dialogs pillow fight included or maybe because it's the first book of the series, but I felt they lacked some development. All in all, however, it was an easy and entertaining reading. I'd purchase book 2.
