For readers who have met New York author (and eventual resident of Maine) Lucy Barton in Strout’s other books, this is an interesting deep dive into her life. It focuses on a period in. Barton’s life where her children were young and she is in the hospital for nine weeks with a severe infection following routine surgery. Not sure if I would have enjoyed this story if I hadn’t read about Barton in Strout’s other books.

First in the series about a scientist/amateur crime solver. This is cat, cat & mouse between police detectives, three people who covered up an instance of manslaughter/murder, and the scientist who both helps the police and -in this case - has a sympathetic connection to one of the suspects. Page turner!

Fantastically written, pulse quickening, Mo Hayder can write a book that leaves you thinking about it for many years to come

This was one of the best books I have ever read. There is 6 stories in one book, so it always keeps you interested! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story!

A beautiful book- After finishing, I recommended to my best friend who read it and loved it as well. Matt Haig can take something outlandishly fantastical and weave it into a storyline so believable and inspiring that you start look look for glimpses of that similar magic in your everyday life. A true delight!

Evil spy school is the best!

Reviews say "wry and hilarious." Wry, yes. Hilarious, not so much. This is a book about family. What is a family, what does it mean to find one, to be part of one. I enjoyed this book but prefer Wilson's most previous two. I loved the characters but found the story a little slow.

I haven’t gotten that far, I’m on chapter 4. It’s pretty good so far and definitely better than the movie. There is more information, as I would hope, and explains the characters more.
