The Light of Paris by Eleanor Brown

Audio Book.
Read by Cassandra Campbell.
12.5 hours.

I really enjoyed Ms. Brown's previous book, The Weird Sisters, so I had high hopes for this novel.  Sadly, I did not enjoy this one nearly as much.  The story switches between that of Madeline, unhappy wife in 1999, and her grandmother, who is facing similar issues in her life 75 years earlier.  The grandmother's (Margaret's) story is told through the journals she kept when she was a young woman.

The More They Disappear by Jesse Donaldson

OxyContin and a crooked sheriff in rural Kentucky lead to destruction in a rural, Kentucky town.

I'm giving it 3 stars because I finished it, but it was pretty meh.

The Lola Quartet by Emily St. John Mandel

I had really high hopes for this because it was written by the author of Station 11.  Sadly, this book was not nearly as good.

Gavin finds out he has a long lost daughter when his sister sees a child that looks just like she did when she was young.  Gavin then sets out to locate his high school girlfriend who disappeared when he graduated.

The intersecting lives felt like a Seinfeld episode.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

3 stars.

The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

Audio book.
Narrated by Kirsten Potter.
8.5 hours.

5 stars.
