A well known writer/college professor’s family is found slain and he appears to be on the run.  An emotionally damaged detective who has had prior (noncriminal) dealings with the professor investigates.  As part of his investigation, he tries to get inside the writer’s mind, particularly as it relates to the novel he is presently writing.

There are literary references that I enjoyed and the book is well written, with the story being told from the points of view of these two.  Unfortunately, despite the grave circumstances for the professor, I felt no affinity for him. Although it took me a while to get into it, the story held my attention.  It is worth a read.

She finally read it!

I've put off reading this but figured since the film will be out in October, I should probably read it.

I didn't have much feeling for the main character, Rachel.  In fact, I found her somewhat annoying.  But, the story did hook me and it was a good read.

Missing, Presumed - Susie Steiner

She Read

This is a decent British police procedural. Told from the various points of view of the main characters, this places more emphasis on character development than actual police work.  A fairly quick read, it held my attention throughout.
