 ***************
My book beginnings is taken from GLORY OVER EVERYTHING by Kathleen Grissom:



"Robert's familiar rap on the door came as I was studying a miniature portrait of myself.  The small painting, meant as a parting gift to my beloved, had just been delivered, and I was debating the artist's interpretation."
 **********
I finished this book last week.

THE PASSENGER by Lisa Lutz. 

What a thriller!!  

Review is in the book's title.

    1. It is a bit misleading.

      The book goes back and forth in time.

      Thanks for stopping, Diane.
