I finished The Sleepwalker
by Chris Bohjalian.Annalee Ahlberb, a sleepwalker, goes missing one night. Her husband and two daughters try to go on with their lives while they wait to learn what happened to her. The story's a bit slow but very informative about sleepwalking. 3.5 stars.

I finished
Death of a Chimney Sweep by M.C. BeatonA con man is killed and Hamish MacBeth is on the trail of the perpetrator. Most of Lochdubh's usual quirky characters make an appearance. Not a great addition to the series, but it's okay. 3 stars.

Just finished Roses of May

The Butterfly Garden this is the second book.My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm readingNight WatchReally good book so far. The descriptions used in the novel paint a clear picture of the locations and people.
I think this fits the literary fiction genre mostly, but the prologue sets it up to feel mysterious. Whatever you call it, Beartown
takes it time getting there, but it's really worth it in the end!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I just finished reading Behind Her Eyes
by Sarah Pinborough and oh my goodness, it had seriously the craziest ending I've ever read (if you check out the twitter hashtah #WTFthatending you'll see what I mean). Has anyone else read or heard of it?
I just finished
by Harlen Coben, and started
by Brad Meltzer. I don't think I've ever read anything by him. Am enjoying it so far, but it's not what I expected.

Lori wrote: "Natalie wrote: "I just finished reading Behind Her Eyes

Though there is a certain element to the story that some people were put off by. Can't really mention it without giving anything away. But I would highly recommend checking it out if you like shocking endings!

I read it Natalie. I agree, that ending is crazy!!
And the #WTFthatending GIFs are hilarious :)

Just finished
Vicious Circle by C.J. Box. Definitely not my favorite book by this author. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Victim Mentality by Angelo MarcosAngelo Marcos is one of a very select group of authors of whom I cannot get enough.
Victim Mentality is a very clever and immensely enjoyable psychological thriller like nothing else I have read.
Nick is OCD and has reached a critical point in his life -no one likes him, not his girlfriend, his support group, his agent.
When he lands a role as a career criminal he wants to meet one so that he can get into the role. Enter Gideon Mathias, master criminal and manipulator extraordinaire.
Highly recommended.
Thank you to author Angelo Marcos for providing a digital copy of Victim Mentality for review. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
