Search - 13 1/2

This was a very good book...suspenseful and a bit creepy. The end clearly tells who the killer was. I was left feeling saddened at how someone could be so evil and what that did to all the people in that person's life.

Nevada Barr has written a winning psychological thriller in 13 1/2. The switching from the past to the present between two main character families is a little hard to follow, but you can still see the big picture and understand what is going on. Even up to the last page, I was left with a question of who really had "done it." If you are not a fan of Barr's Anna Pigeon series, don't hold this book against her. It is a break from her other writing and she has done a great job. Worth reading!

Very different tone than the Anna Pigeon series. Some pretty graphic violence, but a good - if at times confusing - story. I am glad I stuck with it, as it all came together in the end.

Although I thought it was a bit predictable, I really enjoyed it! It had me reading all day...
