Blurb
Fleeing the end of an affair, and troubled by the feeling that she belongs nowhere after working in East Africa for fifteen years, Frankie Rowley comes home to the small New Hampshire town of Pomeroy and the farmhouse where her family has always summered. On her first night back, a house up the road burns to the ground. Is it an accident?
Over the weeks that follow, as Frankie comes to recognise her father’s slow failing and her mother’s desperation, and she tentatively gets to know the new owner of the local newspaper, another house burns, and then another. These frightening events open the deep social fault lines in the town and raise questions about how and where one ought to live, and what it really means to lead a fulfilling life. Amazon
I have just finished reading one of my favourite books of the year Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

Next I am going to read After I Left You by Alison Mercer
Anna has not been back to Oxford since her last summer at university, seventeen years ago. She tries not to think about her time there, or the tightly knit group of friends she once thought would be hers forever. She has almost forgotten the fierce sting of betrayal, the heartache, the secret she carries around with her, the last night she spent with them all.
Then a chance meeting on a rainy day in London brings her past tumbling back into her present, and Anna is faced with remembering the events of that summer and the people she left behind. As Anna realises that the events of their past have shaped the people they’ve all become, hope begins to blossom for what the future could hold . . .NetGalley

Cleo – It looks as though you’ve had some good reads lately. And I’ll be really interested in your review of After I Left You. It sounds like a really interesting premise for a book!

I love stories where secrets come back to confront a character years later. Of course most secrets loose their power over time, so I presume it will be a big one!

This morning I began Sue Grafton’s book “W is for Wasted”. I have enjoyed these stories in the past and I hope this one will be interesting as well.

My daughter is a big Sue Grafton fan but for some reason I never got into this series. That is a lot of books to keep the standard up for.

This is the second one of the series I am reading so we will see.
