"4.5 stars. I think I particularly liked this one because the setting is a psyc department and I was a psyc major in college so I connected with a lot of it. I liked that it was told from different character’s POV. I didn’t guess the killer at all. Th"

"I enjoyed this book. It's one of those rare gems where I was still second guessing who the perp was, 80% through."

quote
“My life, my life, my very old one
My first badly healed desire, My first crippled love, You had to return. It was necessary to know What is best in our lives, When two bodies play at happiness, Unite, reborn without end. Entered into complete dependency, I know the trembling of being, The hesitation to disappear, Sunlight upon the forest’s edge And love, where all is easy, Where all is given in the instant; There exists in the midst of time The possibility of an island.” Michel Houellebecq |

“He had trusted her with access, and she explored his assessments, measures, old reports. Even the one he’d told no one else about. The one that even Joe didn’t like discussing.”

“My dad wasn’t in the picture and my mom was a singer. I traveled with her all over the South. Weird way to grow up,”

“My life, my life, my very old one
My first badly healed desire,
My first crippled love,
You had to return.
It was necessary to know
What is best in our lives,
When two bodies play at happiness,

Entered into complete dependency,
I know the trembling of being,
The hesitation to disappear,
Sunlight upon the forest’s edge
And love, where all is easy,
Where all is given in the instant;
There exists in the midst of time
The possibility of an island.”
