Wow, what a train wreck! But I couldn't stop reading; had to find out how these poor characters lives intertwined back together. A little slow at first, this book was reminiscent of Liane Moriaty's "The Husband's Secret" (which I only kept reading as a friend said it was wonderful and I did end up enjoying immensely!) I picked this book based on it's cover, and would recommend it to my friends.
Bitter River: A Bell Elkins Novel
by Julia Keller
Bitter River(6/30/2013)
Initially I worried this book would be too predictable but was quickly hooked on the author's writing style. Her use of such vivid descriptions quickly grabbed my interest and made me want to keep reading. Julia Keller weaves a mystery reminiscent of a feminine James Patterson. I look forward to reading her first book.
