Elizabeth, did you feel the earthquake today? All is well, I hope?

I just posted this, but if anyone is interested or looking for a thriller for this task, the recent release The Woman in the Window is by A.J. Finn which is a pseudonym for Dan Mallory -- https://www.curtisbrown.co.uk/client/.... It's gotten a lot of hype and lives up to it, in my opinion, if you like psychological thrillers.
