The Winners' Circle
The Winners' Circle | Gail Bowen
24 posts | 2 read
Book 17 of the nationally bestselling Joanne Kilbourn series is classic Gail Bowen: masterfully compelling storytelling that combines a modern, urban family with a gripping, satisfying mystery. As Joanne Kilbourn-Shreve, her husband, Zack, and their soon-to-be seventeen-year-old daughter, Taylor, rush through the rain from their cottage to their car, the Thanksgiving weekend they just spent at the lake with Zack's law partners is already slipping away, burnished into memory as pleasantly as the hundreds of other weekends the Falconer-Shreve families have shared at Lawyers' Bay. Thoughts of the weekend past will now focus on the future and be prefaced by the words "next time." Within weeks, a triple homicide will rip apart the lives of those related to the lawyers who, at the end of their first year in law school, only half-jokingly styled themselves "The Winners' Circle." Dazed by grief, Joanne will seek answers to an impossible question: "Why did they die?" The facts behind the suicide of Christopher Altieri, known by his law partners as "the conscience of The Winners' Circle," appear to provide insights, but for Joanne those insights raise new, unsettling questions. Knitting this powerful narrative together is Joanne's unshakeable belief that the only thing worse than knowing is not knowing.

I love these emails. 😃😃😃
Who else is apart of the Early Reviewers Club on Library Thing?

Bookwomble Me, but I'll only take paper books in the UK, so there's rarely anything I fancy. The last one I got was the tagged book. I won a copy of Van Morrison's book of lyrics, which I was really happy about, but then the publisher never sent it out 😭📖 6y
Bronte_Chintz I was going to ask if they send to the U.K.? 6y
Craftylikefox I just got my first one!! 6y

BeansPage @Bronte_Chintz they do have books that they send to the UK but the options are very limited. If you decide to get ebooks your options are far less limited. 6y
Craftylikefox @Bronte_Chintz there are some books that are not available to US, so I think they would be available to you and there are some that are just ebooks 6y
jb72 Congratulations 🎈 6y
Graciouswarriorprincess I am part of Early Reviewers but have never won. Congratulations! 6y

LibrarianRyan I won 2 this month. Something call Transmigrations and a kids book I can‘t not quite remember the title to. 6y
tonyahoswalt I'm a member. I think I may have won something a few years ago. 6y

I participated in the GR Challenge for the first time this year and set a goal of 50. I‘ve read 109 so far. These are randomly my favorites this year (thanks @Cinfhen for the hashtag!). The majority are not bestsellers and some are not even recently published. But in some (often undefinable) way, these #17in2017 touched and lingered in my heart and soul long after I put them down. And after all, isn‘t that what it‘s all about anyway?! 😊❤️🙌👍

SilversReviews Love your graphic....may I know where you made that? 7y
robinb @SilversReviews thank you! Of course! It‘s from Typorama. 😊 The text style is called Badge Ornament text (if that helps). 7y
SilversReviews @robinb Thank you...I like Typorama. So the badge is the photo or it comes up when you choose Badge Ornament text? THANKS. 7y

robinb @SilversReviews it comes up with Badge Ornament text. I ❤️ playing around on there! 😊 7y
SilversReviews @robinb THANKS. It is a lot of fun. I wish I knew how to do overlays with photos. Do you know of an app that does that? 7y
Andrew65 Great presentation, don‘t know Typorama - will need to check it out. 7y
robinb @SilversReviews you can do overlays on photos with Typorama, but I‘m not sure if that‘s what you‘re really asking? If you mean using photos AS overlays, then no, I don‘t know of an app that does that. 7y
SilversReviews @robinb I see photos people do that have photos with bookmarks over top of the book - that is just an example - I may be using the wrong terminology - it‘s ok....thanks for commenting back. (edited) 7y
robinb @Andrew65 thanks! You should! It‘s a great resource. 7y
SilversReviews @Andrew65 Oh yes...Typorama is really fun. 7y
robinb @SilversReviews yes, I know what you mean! I‘m not sure how they do that. 7y
Cinfhen Great graphics and I love your thoughts on reading 💚what a great reading year👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Happy New Year, friend 😘 7y

Every year at my organization‘s holiday party, each department puts together a basket that gets raffles off. This year I won (!!!) and one team did a Literary themed basket, so of course I got that one! These cute wine glasses were included, however, after one washing they won‘t look so good, so I‘ll show them off now. I pitched a book club theme to my team for this year and they weren‘t going for it, so maybe next year?

mrp27 Those are great! 7y
ValerieAndBooks How fun!! Maybe you can do this in a small photo frame and hang it near your wine 😊 7y

Always a pleasure! A strong, competent, real-life heroine. Character driven suspense, with insight into both the lives taken and the ones left behind.
