Something a little lighter to follow perhaps Gretchen :)

Currently reading The Secret Keeper. Not a new one, but I love how Kate Morton weaves mystery into her dual timelines.

History and mystery, a great combination! C.J. Sansom's Shardlake series is terrific, and the third book, Sovereign, finds our favourite hunchbacked lawyer mixed up again in the dangerous power struggles of Henry VIII's England.
4.5★ Link to my review of Sovereign

I just enjoyed a welcome visit to Three Pines where Louise Penny shows us the Montreal art world and Clara's unique talent - or is it just A Trick of the Light? I love these people, especially Clara, (and I never liked the victim anyway).
4.5~5★ Link to my "Trick of the Light" review

Just finished Vendetta in Death by J.D. Robb. #49 and latest in the series.Another good outing with Dallas, Roarke and co, - but I noticed for the first time that it is not very who-dun-itty - The reader knows very early in the book who is the person. Are all the Dallas books like this? Do I have to re-read all 48 to re-assess? Not this year I wont (but I will pay more attention in the future). Come on J.D a little bit of suspense for the reader is a good thing!
★★★★
I just enjoyed Aussie author Toni Jordan's new novel, The Fragments. Double timeline: 1930s New York, 1986 Brisbane. Both believable and both well done!
