Shades of Gone Girl (1/13/2014)
This book is well-written, with many turns and twists. I was gripped by the story and read it quickly. When I finished, however, I reflected on the many implausible plot turns that make it impossible for me to give it a 5. This is a psychological thriller that builds to an …more

Quirky and Compelling (10/10/2013)

The Woman at the Light: A Novel

The Woman at the Light (6/29/2012)
