When Georgia blue-blood William married a black woman young enough to be his granddaughter, life in Savannah high society is turned upside down (ish).
Good characterization, will seek out more from this author, despite a few jarring plot jumps.

In my excitement of seeing Ann Hood's name on this audio book, I checked it out and started it without realizing I'd read it before. Even still, it was enjoyable, although the ending was a bit saccharin.

The novel's first sentence tells us that Lydia is dead. We spend the rest of the book learning who she is and what happened.

When one serial killer isn't enough...
Tennessee Bureau of Information agent Melina Shepard teams up with an FBI agent to track 2 killers, one with ties to Melina that are unknown to her.
Good story. Glad the author didn't have a female lead that makes a bunch of dumb choices, although there were a few.
4 stars.
Alicia goes mute after murdering her husband. Or did she? Is she faking? Did someone else kill him? Psychotherapist Theo Faber takes an intense interest in her case. Great twist at the end. Book was not a page turner, but it was interesting.
3.5 stars.
Teenage girl in a small English village is found dead. Is it related to the rumored porn production mill in the area?
3.5 stars.
Black families are being forced from their Brooklyn homes in the name of gentrification.
I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of this novel. As a white person, it was enlightening to read about life from a black woman's POV. Then the story became a weird conspiracy story and I didn't like that part as much.
3.5 stars.
