Girls of Glass by Brianna Labuskes

Ruby, the granddaughter of a powerful, Florida judge is murdered and cops Gardner and Nakamura investigate.

I didn't like the format, which switched back and forth from before to after the kidnapping.  I didn't connect with any of the characters.  I was surprised by the twist at the end, but I'm not sure it was worth the first 7/8s of the book.

3 stars.

The Reckoning by John Grisham

In 1940's Mississippi, Pete Banning walks into a local church and shoots the pastor dead.  Pete refuses to explain his motive and it's only years later that his children, Joel and Stella, learn the why behind their entire lives changed.

I didn't love the story and I was disappointed by the big reveal at the end.  The entire middle about the war seemed like filler.
