The Ever After

Fiction by Sarah Pekkanen


https://m.barnesandnoble.com/

"SO THIS IS HOW you discover your husband is having an affair, Josie Moore thought."

That's a pretty good opening line, right? 

This book explores the relationship between a married couple when the wife discovers his affair. 

It's an interesting character study, but I had a little trouble with some of it. I don't know how I would react if I found out what Josie did, but I don't think I'd do the melodramatic stuff she did. Still, it was a pretty good story.

Miramar Bay

Fiction by Davis Bunn.

https://m.barnesandnoble.com

This is a straight romance I picked just for the pretty cover. In it, an actor who seems about to hit it big in Hollywood escapes to idyllic Miramar Bay and (surprise!) finds unexpected true love. Can he give it all up for small-town girl? It was a pretty good story.

Murder at the Vicarage

Fiction by Agatha Christie.
https://m.barnesandnoble.com

I'm still working on re-reading through all of Agatha Christie's books in order on audiobook, and this one was up next.

This was her first book featuring Miss Marple. I'm not sure if the author intended to make Miss Marple the recurring detective character she became, because in this story she seems like she sort of popped out of the background to solve the mystery. I've always liked Miss Marple better than Hercule Poirot, though, because she's not arrogant like he is. I can see why Mrs. Christie wanted to keep writing her. 

I've read this book before, probably twice, and I still wasn't sure how it was going to end. Agatha Christie is the best!!
