Saw the film of "Secret Life" as in-flight movie, thought it was quite good. Book is probably a whole lot more profound.
In May, I read "the Help" which was just fabulous. Recently, finished both of Linda Castillo's thriller books, with psychological drama, called "Sworn to Silence" and "Pray for Silence." If you like Tess Gerritsen and Lee Child, try these.
Also just I have just read Inger Ash Wolfe's (pseudonym of famous writer now trying her hand at detective fiction/thrillers) "The Calling" and she has a new one out called "The Taken" which I already have on reserve at my local library.
One of my fave authors, the Irish Tana French has a new thriller/mystery called"faithful Place" which we all need to get our hands on immediately as she is just an excellent writer. (Start with "The Likeness").
I have also just read the new Jennifer Weiner book, "Fly Away Home," about the politician's wife and daughters in the aftermath of his affair hitting the media. Read it and die laughing at the Thanksgiving dinner scene near the end.
Also, this week, just finished Barbara Delinsky's "Not My Daughter" which had me screaming at different characters alternately for their moronic ideas and hypocritical morality in small town Maine. What do you do when your 17 year old daughter comes home, pregnant, and she has made a pact with her school friends to all get pregnant together, and you are the High School principal and you got pregnant and had a kid at 17 also, and now everyone is putting you on trial and calling for your resignation on the grounds of being, publically, a "bad mother"?
I have about three million more books on my "must read" list...........gotta get to them all!
