The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A good read. At first I was distracted by the “English” nature of the story, but then I was hooked. Tony Webster recalls his days at a boarding school and his first romantic encounter with a girl. But his memory contains flaws he is unaware of. The ending set me to thinking for days. Haunting!

The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Interesting look at a life of crime from the inside. Michael is an artist at opening safes. He is sought after and used by master criminals. He also cannot speak after being traumatized as a child. He tells his story from inside prison after serving 10 years. He remembers his first love and the way they communicate and he remembers the twists and turns that set him on his life of crime. Good book.

The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It is a very compelling book! Knowing Bojahlian, I  expected some twists and surprises. In the end, I am not sure what happened.  If you read it, let’s talk about the ending.

  Reading State of wonder by Ann Patchett is like floating down the amazon; lush and interesting,  with surprising twists and turns that do not jolt you because you are floating down the amazon.  Marina Singh gave up a career as a doctor after botching an emergency delivery as an intern, opting instead for the more orderly world of research for a pharmaceutical company. When office colleague Anders Eckman, sent to the Amazon to check on the work of a field team, is reported dead, Marina is asked by her company’s CEO to complete Anders’ task and to locate his body. What Marina finds in the sweltering, insect-infested jungles of the Amazon shakes her to her core. For the team is headed by esteemed scientist Annick Swenson, the woman who oversaw Marina’s residency and who is now intent on keeping the team’s progress on a miracle drug completely under wraps. The story is so imbued with a feeling of the Amazon that I thought I was surrounded by mosquitoes and trees and muddy brown water.  And yet there is a sense of magic about the world.  A good read.

A Fountain Filled with Blood by Julia Spencer-Fleming.    Another light but interesting mystery sent in the Adirondacks.  Hate crimes, murder and environmental issues combined with the developing characters of Rev. Claire Fergussen and Police Chief Russ Van Alstyne.
