Has anyone read any of Alafair Burke's books?

Yes, in fact I just finished her most recent book, The Better Sister. I've also read Long Gone, The Ex, and The Wife. I really enjoy her books and even though her characters are typically somewhat flawed, they're very interesting and the plots are intriguing. I've also read the books she's written with Mary HIggins Clark. She's become one of my favorite authors.

I've read The Ex and all of the books she wrote with Mary Higgins Clark.  I enjoy her books.

Yes, very good reads.  Have The Better Sister on hold now at the library.

I love her books but not the ones she writes with MHC.

Since I discovered her, I have read all of her hardcopy books and the series she co-authors with Mary Higgins Clark.  I see she has many Nook books which I don't read so I can't speak to those, but If you enjoy women's detective mysteries, I think you will enjoy her books.

Yes, "The Wife" and one with Mary Higgins Clark. Can't say I loved them, but that has more to do with my reading preferences.

I only read 'The Wife', which happened to be one of my favorite books last year. I just started 'The Better Sister' on my Kindle and so far I am really liking it.
