I listened to Catherine McKenzie’s Fractured, but haven’t picked up The Murder Game yet – I liked Fractured…very interesting book. Did you read it yet? I have Rosemary on my shelf…love all things Kennedy!!!
Happy December!!!

Another good month. I see Catherine Mackenzie is becoming a favourite with you. Nice her book was top one, I wonder why she writes under different names.

Thanks, Kathryn, and while I’ve enjoyed all of Catherine’s books, these last two have really done it for me. She only wrote The Murder Game under a different name, as it was the name of her character in Fractured; a character who had written a book that caused a lot of trouble for her.
I don’t know if she’ll write more books by this “character.” But I enjoyed how it made that character feel so real.

Thanks, Cleo, there were so many books I loved in November that it was hard to pick a favorite…so, of course, I picked two fiction and one nonfiction.
American Heiress was very good, but for page-turning intensity, While You Were Sleeping and The Murder Game were my all-time favorites of the month.
