Live Fast
by Brigitte Giraud
View in Library Catalog
This was a different and very good book, and I’m not going to do it justice in the description, but here goes. A woman has lost her husband to an accident and now has to sell the house they had bought together but had not yet moved into. Each chapter then becomes a look into her perspective of “If only such and such had not happened”. And even though you know right from the beginning what the ending is, it is still an amazing descriptive journey which was originally written in French.
Don't Open Your Eyes

A great book
Sandwich

This story about a woman dealing with the intense love of her children who have now left home, along with going through menopause will bring out all of your emotions. It is a funny yet serious look at love of family and the need to be oneself. Will especially be enjoyed by those also dealing with aging parents.
Count My Lies
by Sophie Stava

This book delivers the type of ending all readers long for; something unexpected. And even from about midway into the book, you know something is coming, but there aren’t obvious clues. This author dies an excellent job on her maiden novel. Can’t wait to see what she sends us in her next one.
Widow's Walk
by Robert B. Parker
View in Library Catalog
For those of us who read a lot of mysteries, after a while, you can often see the ending coming. Not in this one! The central character’s alibi appears to be that she is just too dumb to organize and commit this crime. And it turns out what she did do really ends up confusing the police. A good whodunit.
The Cat Who Dropped A Bombshell
by Lilian Jackson Braun
View in Library Catalog
In what I think of as a "Cozy Mystery", an elderly couple is murdered by their nephew for, predictably, money. There is also a major town celebration, which really has very little to do with the plot. Not going to be a great real for real mystery fans.
Later
by Stephen King

A wonderfully told story by a man who can see and talk to dead people as he looks back over the defining moments of his young life. A must read for all horror and King fans.
Dead Sleep
by Greg Iles
View in Library Catalog
In this story about women who go missing and then have their dead images appear in paintings, Isles does an excellent job in developing the characters and their connections to one another. And this is important because the subject matter here is often harsh and without this development of characters, it would simply be a brutal story. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and liked the ending.
Riding The Bullet
by Stephen King

Full disclosure: I am a Stephen King fan. But as I read this I was a little disappointed in the first half as I found it predictable. But I should have had faith in King, because the second half delivered what I was waiting for. A young man hitches a ride from his college to the hospital where his mother has been taken. When it comes to choosing a ride, do you use your head and logic, or do you listen to your instinct? King will help you look at this a whole new way.
The Sirens' Call
by Chris Hayes

A great exploration of the attention economy throughout history. It was a little slow in the first half, but that could just be my extremely deteriorated attention span. Last two chapters on the current state of affairs are excellent.
