Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler
Micah Mortimer is living a small life. By the end of the book, it might be expanding a bit.
Typical Anne Tyler, nothing really happens. But that's okay.

Gwendy's Magic Feather by Richard Chizmar
The sequel to Gwendy's Button Box by Stephen King (with Richard Chizmar).
Very enjoyable story. I took off a star because of the weird power Gwendy briefly has when she touches something. That seemed to come out of nowhere.
4 stars.

Far From True by Linwood Barclay
This seems to be part of a series, at least I hope that's the reason that few of the story lines were resolved. Too many characters to keep straight. I almost gave up after the first 50+ pages, but decided to give it a chance. I wish I'd just moved on to something else.
2 stars.
Okay, I just checked Amazon and this is book 2 of a trilogy. I guess that's why I was so confused.

Big Sky by Kate Atkinson
Audio. 11.5 hours.
Read by Jason Isaacs
PI Jackson Brodie's chance encounter with a man about to jump to his death leads to him uncovering a sinister network of men.
It seems Jackson is a recurring character, which I don't usually love, but I enjoyed his wry sense of humor and the narrator's embodiment of him.
4 stars.
