Family Family

Fiction by Laurie Frankel


India Allwood is a TV actress and mother of ten year old twins who finds herself in the middle of a controversy after she makes her first movie. This happens because she accidentally speaks to a reporter and gives her actual opinion instead of sticking to “No Comment.” Then the whole thing blows up crazily and only gets worse when her daughter tries to help. 

This was a great story with wonderful characters and several surprises.

I Will Find You

 Fiction by Harlan Coben


David Burroughs is serving a life sentence in prison for murdering his three-year-old son Matthew. He didn't do it, of course, but the evidence against him was pretty strong and David didn't even try to fight the case very hard. With Matthew dead, why bother?

Then something happens to cause him to think Matthew might still be alive! What will David do now?

This was a really good thriller! The audiobook narration was top-notch as well.

After Annie

 Fiction by Anna Quindlen


Annie is a young wife and mother of four when she drops dead in the middle of serving meatloaf for dinner. This story is about what happens after that, specifically to her daughter Ali, her husband Bill, and her best friend AnneMarie.

It's a sad story but also a good one. I loved the characters.

The ABC Murders

 Fiction by Agatha Christie


In this classic murder mystery, a serial killer is stalking England and sending taunting anonymous notes to semi-retired detective Hercule Poirot about it. Will M. Poirot discover the murderer's identity before his next victim dies?

As always, this was a great mystery story and the ending was a surprise!
