View in Library Catalog
book cover


Theo quits law school in Australia and moves to stay with her brother, Gus, in the US. While pursuing her new writing career, she meets another author, older and famous, and falls in love. One day when he doesn’t show up for their daily meeting, Theo goes to his house to find him brutally murdered. With no other clues, the police investigate Theo and Gus as the main suspects. To protect Gus, Theo signs up with a publishing company that will promise a new identity and protection if she continues to write as the alias and disappears. Gus tries to find Theo for years and then a book is published that is exactly what Theo was working on before her disappearance. Can Gus find his sister and can Theo escape the confines of the publishing company? This book was a quick read and kept you interested. I recommend The Mystery Writer a try.

It is an excellent text to learn Spanish as a beginner, and can be borrowed from the library. (Hola! Hablo un poco de Espanol.) Hi! I speak a little bit of Spanish.

The Woman In Suite 11
by Ruth Ware

book cover


This is the sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10. It starts out with you thinking you made a mistake and are reading the same book again. Then it goes on with some twists and turns but it takes forever to get to those. Very slow and by the time you get to the end, you don't even really care anymore. Disappointing.

Never Flinch

book cover


5 stars are not enough for the latest novel by master story teller Stephen King. Holly is back, Barbara is back and Jerome is back but you don't need to know who the are, but if you are a King fan you do. Be prepared to NOT want to stop reading Never Flinch with plot twists and don't try to figure it out. Great way to start my Summer Reading

The Diary Of A Young Girl
by Anne Frank

book cover


I admit that I never read The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank. To coincide my visit to the Anne Frank Exhibition at the Center of Jewish History. it was time to read it, It is harrowing the story that a teenage girl tells that she managed to capture a part of life that should not have been experienced by anyone of any age. Even knowing the ending, I was gripped that there is going to be/should be,/there will be a happier ending. as in real life, which is exactly that this diary is, there are not always happy endings.

book cover


Mallory Quinn, fresh out of rehab and recovery from a recent tragedy, has taken a job as a nanny for an affluent couple living in the upscale suburb of Spring Brook, New Jersey, when a series of strange events start to make her ( and her employer) question her own sanity. Teddy, the precocious and shy 5-year old she's charged with watching, seems to be haunted by a ghost who channels his body to draw pictures that are far too complex and well-formed for such a young child. At first these drawings are rather typical, but then the illustrations take a dark turn, showcasing the details of a gruesome murder.

I didn’t care for this book, I think it made light of serious topics like depression and suicide
