Last spring when I was in NY, MoMA had F-111 installed and I was so wowed, I had to have this memoir. Tonight I pulled it from the In Progress stack and hope to have it #finishedbyfriday.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chilling. Disturbing. Mysterious. Shrouded in doubt. A US Marshal and his parter are assigned a missing persons case on Shutter Island. Shutter Island houses a prison for the criminally insane. As they uncover clues a disturbing past is revealed. I was hooked from the start and couldn't put it down mid-way through. So glad we made that pact @KimHM #finishedbyfriday
