The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
This book is about a boy (although he's an adult) and his dog. The boy meets a girl and marries her. Then, they have a baby girl. The dog rolls with the changes and gets settled in his routine. Then, the wife dies and the routine changes drastically, but the dog does all he can to keep his family together. The story, as told from the dog's point of view, has a metaphorical theme running through it. It was very good.
Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams
Miranda Schuyler returns home to Winthrop Island after many years. She learns that her former lover has escaped prison. He had been jailed for murdering her stepfather eighteen years prior. Many secrets about the wealthy families summering on the island and the working class people who attend to them come to light. I loved it.
I Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll
Ella is riding home on the train and notices two guys coming on to two teenaged girls. She figures out the young men have just been released from prison. She considers calling some sort of authority to alert them, but decides against it. The next day, one of the girls turns up missing. She's still missing a year later, and someone is watching Ella's every move. It was good.
MK out.
