I realized today that I am totally addicted to my audio books. I finished one at lunch today and had nothing to listen to on the way home from work! WOW, I had not realized how much I really enjoyed that unwinding on the way home. I was able to listen to a podcast from Authors in your pocket. This turned out to be really fortuitous since it was an interview with Lisa Jackson. I never knew Lisa had a sister who was an author as well and I can't wait to find some of her books! Lisa's sister is Nancy Bush, co-author of Wicked Game with Lisa. I have not read that so I am going to have to go get it.
The book I just finished was The Deepest Water by Kate Wilhelm. I believe I may have read this years ago in a Reader's Digest Condensed Book. I remembered parts of it but it was a long time ago. I do know I need to find more of her books as she is simply awesome. Kate Wilhelm On her site she has a list of books a mile long so I don't think I will be running out anytime soon!!
When Jud Connors, a successful writer, is found murdered in his isolated cabin in the woods of Oregon, his daughter Abby's world starts to fall apart. Who wanted her father dead and why? More puzzling is how anyone could have gotten to the cabin undetected. Was the murderer someone Jud knew? As Abby embarks on her own investigation, she soon realizes that the clue to the murderer's identity is buried in her father's latest novel, finished just weeks before his death. But will she be able to see through the fiction in time -- before the killer comes after her?
This book was great. I was on the edge of my seat, There were surprises around each corner. I love strong women stories too so this was high on that list as well. Her characters were richly described and well thought out. At some point I began to think of them as real and was almost shocked when the book ended! I rate it two thumbs up.
