Sorry about not posting yesterday but we were gone all day and did not return until really late. My oldest had her walking boot removed yesterday and was given the all clear to resume her normal activities.
We are so thankful that her ankle healed and that she can get back into her martial arts classes next week. Anyway, tonight's blog post is all about the books I am reading. Right now I am reading two books- The Outsider by Stephen King and Cinderella Murder by Mary Higgins Clark.
Now, let's get to the post!
What I Am Reading Wednesdays
The Outsider by Stephen King (synopsis from Stephen King.com)
An unspeakable crime. A confounding
investigation. At a time when the King brand has never been stronger, he
has delivered one of his most unsettling and compulsively readable
stories.
An eleven-year-old boy's
violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints
point unmistakably to one of Flint City’s most popular citizens. He is
Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and
father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once
coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi,
but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with
the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.
As
the investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge,
King’s propulsive story kicks into high gear, generating strong tension
and almost unbearable suspense. Terry Maitland seems like a nice guy,
but is he wearing another face? When the answer comes, it will shock you
as only Stephen King can.
What I think so far:
I am 78 pages into the book and I love it. It's getting more interesting as I read it and I cannot wait to finish it. I plan to check it out again and hopefully will be able to finish during Thanksgiving break.
Cinderella Murder by Mary Higgins Clark
Television producer Laurie Moran is delighted when the pilot for her reality drama, Under Suspicion, is a success. Even more, the program—a cold case series that revisits unsolved crimes by recreating them with those affected—is off to a fantastic start when it helps solve an infamous murder in the very first episode.
Now Laurie has the ideal case to feature in the next episode of Under Suspicion: the Cinderella Murder. When Susan Dempsey, a beautiful and multi-talented UCLA student, was found dead, her murder raised numerous questions. Why was her car parked miles from her body? Had she ever shown up for the acting audition she was due to attend at the home of an up-and-coming director? Why does Susan’s boyfriend want to avoid questions about their relationship? Was her disappearance connected to a controversial church? Was she close to her computer science professor because of her technological brilliance, or something more? And why was Susan missing one of her shoes when her body was discovered?
What I think so far:
I'm about 100 pages into it and I cannot put it down. I love a good mystery and this book is one of the best.
So, there you have it, that's what I am reading right now. What are you reading?
