Chili Queen Audiobook

" I just finished The Chili Queen, but didn't enjoy this book by Dallas as much as I have some of her other books. As usual, her characters are interesting and there is a lot of humor and fun in the book, and the plot centers around deception, taking some fun twists and turns. But there was one particularly gruesome part in the book, and even though I know this is an evil reality that women and children have to deal with, it was just too hard, too graphic, and I cry every time I think about it. "

" I have read several of Sandra Dallas' books and have enjoyed them. This book not so much. To me is was all about evil and no hope for anyone in the story. "

" Good story, well-told, with an ending I never saw coming. "

" Love all the unexpected twists "

" This book would have earned a four from me except there was one graphic scene which may give me nightmares. Sandra Dallas creates flawed, multi-dimensional characters which still manage to be likeable. "

" It was fun reading, but the ending is contrived, and I felt manipulated as a reader. I read it for a book club and the members said this was the worst of Sandra Dallas, but her other novels are very good. I picked up one from the library and will begin reading it soon. "

" meh. would have been forgettable except for the ridiculously gratuitous scenes of violence near the end which really ruined it for me. "

" This was a little different from some of Dallas's other books. You knew what was coming but her characters are delightful. "

" Terri's favorite, but I think I prefer some of Sandra Dallas' other novels even though this was definitely fun. "

" Sandra Dallas has a real gift of prose. The story is about con artists being conned. All the characters have profound moral defects; but by the end of the story you find most of the characters have redeemable points. You will not figure it all out till the last page. "

" This is another one of her books that I really liked. "

" This was a fun book to read filled with lots of plot twists, which I loved. I did guess one of the twists which I thought was pretty blatant and at that point thought the book was going to go down hill, but surprise! More plot twists which were very clever. "

" This book was a quick, light read. There were some very funny parts. I really didn't see that ending ahead of time! "

" Sandra Dallas always tells a good tale. This one is about a whorehouse, swindlers, robberies and the stories behind the people involved. "

" Fun easy read. If you liked Persian Pickle Club you'll really enjoy this too. Lightweight - If I could I'd probably give 3.75 stars. "

" I just like Sandra Dallas. "

" A let-down. I was really hoping it would have the same flair as "Mattie Spenser," but not so. Never really connected, and dragged. Plus, the suprise ending was not that exciting. "

" Enjoyable, satisfying read! I love Sandra Dallas. "

" One of my favorite Sandra Dallas so far. Love, love, love her! FUN read! "

" I loved reading this book. I loved the characters and felt like reading about them was like looking at bold colors...I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else, but I loved them and felt connected to them. "

" I love Sandra Dallas for her plot twists, but some in this book are too dark for my preference. Overall though I still liked it! "

" Two strong women who appear to be one way and sometimes act in a very different way call the shots, make the stings, and tug the hearts of each other and two or is it three men in New Mexico before it became a state. This is a western novel like no other I have ever read. "

" I would give it 3.75. I really liked her characters and finding out who they really were by the end of the book. "

" A book with a little bit of everything in it... loves Sandra Dallas's books! "

" Old time western, with fun characters filled with piss and vinegar. Great twists and turns. Would recommend this book to anyone! Keeps you hoppin'n! "

" My favorite of Dallas's books. This one has amazing plot twists and I love how the character's intertwined. Have it on my to-read list because I need to read it again. Loved it! "

" I wasn't sure what this story was even about half way through, but ended up being pretty good and was an easy read. Pretty clever too. "

" Well, I love Sandra Dallas, but I was disappointed in the writing - certainly the first half didn't measure up. But the story! Oh, what a tangled web we weave! Delightful twists and turns, plots and subplots. Honor among thieves? Hardly! Simply a great yarn. "

" Loved it! Finished in a day. I had a hard time walking away from this story. Enough soft spots to ese the blow of the very heavy hurts. "

" I love Sandra Dallas books. They're such fun, quick reads, always with a twist! I have read this multiple times. "

" Vintage Sallas Dallas although it was a slow read in the beginning. I always like her characters. "

" Very different kind of book for me. If you like books from the 1800's in the south-west with bank robberies, con-artists, love, adventure....and whores....then you'll like this book. I had no idea who was good and who was bad and how it all would end. Good book. "

" This book would have earned a four from me except there was one graphic scene which may give me nightmares. Sandra Dallas creates flawed, multi-dimensional characters which still manage to be likeable. "

" Usually I really like this author but I would say this was so so - it was hard to really follow it and the ending was a bit....drab and weird. I don't know if I would suggest it to anyone even though I usually have really liked this author! "

" I was never an admirer of Westerns; movies or books. But this story is very good. Addie, Ned, and Emma are not what they seem, and the story takes off in many directions with surprises up until the last page. "

" very entertaining novel. Light reading for the times you want to escape but not concentrate. A bit predictable at the end, which loses the joy of finishing. "

" I needed a book and went into the spa at the Grand Mayan and picked up The Chili Queen. It was very entertaining. "

" This witty little story of the wild west kept me guessing til the end. I was pleased with how it turned out. Fun, hijinks had by all!! Good, easy read. "

" My bookclub enjoyed this one. So engaging. "

" This book definitely holds your interest. The topics are a little racy, the plot is quite engaging, but I didn't have a whole lot of sympathy for the characters. I would give this book 3.5 stars if I could. "

" Only made it part way through this. I got tired of reading about a whore house. "

" Not really my cup of tea. Too predictable. There were almost too may twists and wrap-ups in the end. Only finished it for book club...otherwise, it would have been closed early. "

" Having read "My Cousin Rachel" and "A Reliable Wife" in the past calendar year, this book seemed to steal plot lines and character similarities from both, maybe others would like the twists yet my opinion was they were overplayed. "

" meh. would have been forgettable except for the ridiculously gratuitous scenes of violence near the end which really ruined it for me. "

" This was a little different from some of Dallas's other books. You knew what was coming but her characters are delightful. "

" I liked this book. It reminded me of the movie "Maverick", both in the content and the time period. All in all, pretty satisfying. "

" Vintage Sallas Dallas although it was a slow read in the beginning. I always like her characters. "
