I haven't started another book so this is the same as last week.
I am almost finished with the book. It doesn't have that much of a mystery, but is a great family saga.
My book beginnings is taken from WILDE LAKE by Laura Lippman:
"When my brother was eighteen, he broke his arm in an accident that ended in another young man's death. I wish I could tell you that we mourned the boy who died, but we did not. He was the one with murder in his heart, and sure enough, death found him that night. Funny how that works."
I am almost finished with the book. It doesn't have that much of a mystery, but is a great family saga.

Wilde Lake is pretty good. More a family saga than a mystery.

It was a bit slow at first, but a great family saga, and a good mystery in the end.
