I just got the audio of Fractured and can’t wait to start it. I really liked her previous book, Smoke. I also have the audio of Dr M, by Herman Koch…I haven’t read The Dinner, but I hear that’s pretty good and have it on my list as well.
Hope you have a great November!!!

Thanks, Kristin, and I am curious about Dr. M. The Dinner was not “enjoyable” in the usual sense, but definitely riveting. Thanks for visiting. Hope you also enjoy Fractured.

Great month, but I know – didn’t it go fast! Interesting to see Fractured got ‘book of the month’ like Kristin I enjoyed Smoke so should like this one too. All the best to November reading.

Thanks, Kathryn, and I just got a copy of The Murder Game, the book the MC had written in Fractured. (Catherine McKenzie wrote the book under the character’s name, Julie Apple).
Fun reading, right? Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for visiting, Nise. I loved Fractured, and I just got The Murder Game, which is the book written by the MC in Fractured (Julie Apple). Catherine McKenzie is writing as Julie Apple. Should be fun!
