In this heart-pounding and sharply written thriller from J.A. Jance, the “grand master of the genre” (The Providence Journal), Ali Reynolds’s personal life is thrown into turmoil just as two men show up on the scene—a former employee of her husband’s who has just been released from prison and a serial killer who sets his sights a little too close to home.

A Bit Of My Week In Reading

Currently Reading: All Her Little Secrets by Wanda M. Morris. I am a sucker for legal thrillers and/or lawyer leads. This starts with a lawyer going to meet her mentor in their law firm, finding him dead (apparent suicide), and pretending like she didn’t find him, which then leads to her getting promoted to his job. I want to know ALL the secrets NOW!
Finished Reading (more excellent audiobooks): Why Fish Don’t Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life by Lulu Miller. I thought this was a memoir/biography about a woman with depression (including suicidal thoughts) who sought out information about a scientist who overcame so many obstacles with his research being destroyed because he always kept going no matter what. Which it is, but it also takes some serious hard left turns into an unsolved murder and the history of eugenics in the US, and why the title of the book is actually true. It was excellent and unexpected! And I also finished the super hyped, and deserving, Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid, which I loved and realized that its narrator, Nicole Lewis, has become a top favorite recently.
Super excited can’t wait: The 6th Lady Sherlock book from Sherry Thomas releases this November–are we there yet?!– and I can’t wait to read Miss Moriarty, I Presume?
