Read two excellent thrillers. The first was "The Good Liar" by Catherine McKenzie. The book opens a year to the day after an explosion in downtown Chicago totally destroys a building and kills 500 people. A filmmaker is making a documentary about the disaster and focuses on the changes in the lives of three families. I thought this one was very well done, lots of plot twists and turns and you're left at the end not entirely 100% sure of who's who and what's what.
The other is "The Woman in the Window" by AJ Finn. The story is told by an unreliable narrarator, a woman who is suffering from agoraphobia. She's an unreliable narrator because along with the agoraphobia, she's suffering from depression and she's freely mixing her meds with alcohol. She has a habit of spying on her neighbors and she believes she witnessed her neighbor murder his wife. But the police don't believe her, when they go to the neighbor's house he produces his wife, very much alive. Again twisty and turny and very, very well done. I highly recommend both.

I think you'd like them Kygal.
Just finished another winner, "Splinter in the Blood" by Ashley Dyer. Actually written by two women, one of whom was a police officer and a forensic scientist. It's about the search for a serial killer, but the focus is on the search, not the killer. Suspenseful and not at all gory.

Read two excellent books over the weekend. One was the latest by David Balducci. Kygal, do you like thrillers? If so, you might enjoy him. He's a Virginia writer and I've heard him speak, he's very entertaining. But I wouldn't start reading him with this last book, it was very convoluted. The other was "The King's Justice" by Susan Elia MacNeil. It's set during WWII but it doesn't have anything to do with the war except tangentially. It's the most recent in a series and I highly recommned both the series and this book. You could read this one without having read the others. It's a murder mystery about the seach for a serial killer.
