Marg recently enjoyed Then She Was Gone, a popular new thriller by Lisa Jewell. Read her review here:
Fifteen year-old Ellie Mack disappears without a trace one afternoon on her way to the library. An intensive search for her turns up fruitless leaving her family in shambles.
All too often I end up disappointing with mysteries/thrillers/psychological suspense because you can see the twist(s) from a mile away. Well, The Perfect Mother blindsided me! It’s about a group of first time mothers living in Brooklyn who regularly gather for baby advice and peer support.
Now that summer is clearly upon us and the weather is warming up, it is once again time to make reading an outside activity. In my opinion, there isn't anything more relaxing...assuming the mosquitos are in check! Luckily, there are all kinds of great new and forthcoming releases to choose from. Here are a few books that are on my radar for summer reading.
