@Janey2  Thanks for mentioning The Unheard (Nicci French).  I didn't know they had a new book out.

I just read Not A Happy Family by Shari Lapena.  It was very entertaining and cleverly written.  Loved the ending.

I just finished The Night is watching (Krewe of Hunters #9) by Heather Graham. 

I am debating what to read next.

@smoky22  I was a bit disappointed in The Unheard. I do not think it was as good as the other Nicci French books. The writing was not as sharp as their other books and the story became a little tedious at times.

I read I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella. She always writes a light but interesting story. I really need to go back and read her shopaholic series.

I also read The Last Thing he Told Me by Laura Dave. I had thought that she was a thriller writer and then I realized I had read another book by her called Hello Sunshine which was not a thriller at all. I enjoyed this book although I know it had mixed reviews. It was a quick read only taking a few days.

The Therapist, by B.A. Paris;  I read this book over the weekend and was extremely disappointed, since I enjoy all her books.  While the last 20 pages or so was up to her caliber this book was so convoluted, complicated, and just plain all over the place to enjoy.  Plus the main character just irked me to no end.   Alice is trying to figure out who murdered the previous owner of the home she and her boyfriend have just moved into.  Everyone including the city dog watcher practically is a suspect in her off the wall thoughts.  Could have been a great story line if the so called heroine was not such a unforgiving wimp.

Finished HUSH by James Patterson, really good book! I am now reading THE THERAPIST by B.A. Paris! I have read many of her books before, and this one seems really good so far.....

I'm reading "The Wife Upstairs" by Rachel Hawkins. 

It's listed as a modern version of "Jane Eyre." The main character, Jane, walks dogs in an upscale gated communiy in Birmingham, Al. She meets Eddie Rochester, a new resident who has recently lost his wife, Bea, in a boating accident. The two move in together, as Jane tries to fit in with the neighborhood.

However, Jane has past secrets she doesn't want anyone to know about. It seems that Eddie also has secrets, and Jane becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened the day Bea died. Or is she even dead? 

This book is very good. Jane isn't a likeable person, but she is interesting. Something strange is going on, but no idea what it is. I just know that things aren't as they appear and I want to know more.
