"This was our new book club's first choice. We all agreed we didn't like the protagonist. What a whiner. LOL

Okay, this may have been the slowest starting book I've ever read. I truly was reading it out of obligation for about the first 130 pages (this is our new book club's third read), then all of a sudden, it turned. Now I'm hooked and don't have time to read it as fast as I'm wanting to get through it! ...less

Okay, I'm not (necessarily) a genuine fan of true crime stories, but I LOVE Ann Rule. My Nan introduced me to her writing, and I'm hooked. This is her most recent book, and I'm trying to figure out, in the aftermath of Lacy Peterson, how I missed this story in the news. It was fascinating. ...less

This was my new book club's second read. Again, we didn't like the lead character, but I personally thought this book was very well written. The author is an instructor at Cal State Long Beach University, and she lives in Long Beach. The book was set in Long Beach and Seal Beach, so if you're from Orange County, it's wonderfully familiar. Made me feel like I was following her around town, rather than reading about her. You can go to the blog on my website (shown on my profile) for one part of the book that really spoke to me....less
