pickI‘ve tried to savor Chamberlain‘s backlog since first discovering her books over a dozen years ago— & now I only have one left in my TBR after finishing this 1996 release. It takes a lightning strike to reunite a grandmother with the granddaughter, Rachel, who left their PA bucolic town amidst the event still traumatic for the town & Rachel. Second chance romance & plenty of family secrets abound in this well performed, but not favorite, listen.
pickThe last book I'll finish in 2024 was Simenon's tale of a marriage marred by family interference, bourgeois suspicions, emotional betrayals and psychological abuse.
Set in the claustrophobic environs of a seagoing freighter, dogged by bad luck and paranoid tensions, it's a bit like the film "The War of the Roses" at sea. The story builds to a climactic sea rescue with inevitable tragic consequences.

I *might* have time to squeeze in a final book before 2024 is over.
This is a non-Maigret Simenon about a boat captain whose wife insists on accompanying him on the maiden voyage of his new vessel. Marital tensions build and fracture, though to what end I'll have to read to discover! 💔🌊💔

pickA bit of French reading for a change. This book is a follow up to another I read by Joel Dicker and it‘s just as good as the first. Some of the returning characters are there along with new ones. Great ending, was not expecting it. This writer is great at surprising readers right at the end.
“You‘re already turned on,” he said.
Faith chuckled softly. “It must be the anticipation of those five babysitters,” she murmured.

Memories that would bring Hawk‘s Landing back to life again just the way Honey had brought new life back to him.
Memories that would last forever.

Colin linked his and Melissa‘s fingers. “Are you ready to go home to our daughter?”
“Yes, I am. I want to go home.”

Lacey gave Jim a last, sweet kiss and turned to look at the farmhouse rising from the ashes.
“That‘s right, baby,” she said. “We‘re home.”
