pickJust Finished this book and I have to say I really enjoyed it. It had some really good mystery as well as some good twist and turns, I would recommend it.

pickCraziness, as in people out of control. A Mormon elder is murdered at his church and all his secrets come out. Linda, the Bishop‘s wife and Curt, the Bishop, find his body. In the process of the duties to the church they become involved in finding the murderer. Lots of action and creepiness, but also a few moments of humor.
pickSome of the writing fell a *smidge* flat, for me. But, I stayed engaged enough that I wanted to finish. The narrative is split between a present-day FLDS plural wife who is charged with her husband‘s murder & her estranged son who tries to solve who-really-done-it & the story of Ann Eliza Young. Both women are the 19th wives. Ann Eliza to Brigham Young himself, & she documented their very public divorce. #ReadingAmerica Utah; February #BookSpin
pickGood account of the Mormon Trail from out of Nauvoo in 1846 through the Handcart painfulness of 1857 and almost to the Railroad era. He does use some questionable sources but mostly it is well written and tries to be somewhat unbiased.
Starting one of Stegner‘s histories I have never read. I mostly like his writing.
pick2 timelines: historical fiction about the life of Ann Eliza Young, ex-wife of Brigham Young and campaigner against Mormon polygamy, and a modern mystery where a child of a polygamous marriage sets out to prove that it wasn't his mother who killed his father.
I found both parts compelling. I'd like to know more about the 19thC characters and I would read a mystery series with Jordan as a main character and Johnny and Tom as his sidekicks.
pickMost recent book club pick! This one had been on my list for a long time so I‘m glad I finally got to read it, even if it was… a little hard to read at times ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
