Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

The Life we Bury by Alan Eskens

Wish You Well by David Baldacci

Inheriting Edith by Zoe Fishman

I just finished

The Stranger She Loved by Shanna Hogan... true story and the husband was a monster

Find Her by Lisa Gardner...page turner

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough...weird but good

I read about 5 others but have passed them along so I cant remember the titles!

LOL, Jud.   I see people are listing books that were published before 2017 but they read them in 2017 so I'll add to the list and maybe surprise you LOL.  At the rate I'm reading "Magpie Murders" it will be on my 2018 list if I live that long.

"Three Wishes" and "The Last Anniversary" by Liane Moriarty

"Slade House" by David Mitchell

"Defending Jacob" by William Landay

"The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro (the movie is horrible!  the book is a must for Downton lovers)
