Set sail for murder

Thursday, May 24, 2018

As I read "Still Me" by Jojo Moyes I was surprised how easily I could pick up the third book in the series and understand all the relationships. This is a story of Louisa Clark from the U.K. who decides to take a job in Manhattan as a companion/assistant to the young new wife to an older extremely wealthy man.  She soon leans that the woman, Agnus, is very unhappy and stressed by the demands of a highly philanthropic man. He wants his trophy wife to show up at the charity events looking beautiful and happy. But, the second wife is rejected by society, seen as a gold digger and a home wrecker. But this is not that simple. She had been a hard working Polish immigrant who caught the eye of her employer, and she made him happy. How can Louisa help Agnus find happiness in her new life? She can help by being her friend. Louisa Clark learns a lot about friendships and relationships during this year abroad. She has some things to work out between her boyfriend in the U.K. and the grumpy neighbor in her apartment complex. This is a good read and I enjoyed the character of Louisa Clark.
