I have read 46 books in 35 weeks. Just finished "N" is for Noose by Sue Grafton. Excellent book, nice surprise ending. Just couldn't wrap my head around the motive for the murders. I like the way she set up the detective work, as she moves closer to the danger, the tempo increases, the tension increases. This time around, Kinsey is out of her league. She's up against the whole town where she is a stranger. Rumors circulate about her, and she feels she needs to have an ally, but who can she trust? Being out of her own turf is unsettling. I feel for her, I feel the fear. One of Sue Grafton's best.

Sometimes I read a book again. I just did that with "Sister Mother Husband Dog (etc.)" by Delia Ephron. I was making a suggestion to a friend about books that could be read out loud to seniors. This book came to mind because I had a fond memory of the book. Rereading it, I am not sure if it would work. I loved it again because I love her voice. She's a likeable person and she describes her own pain so perfectly. Maybe that's why reading it aloud won't work. There is pain, but I love it because it has soul.
