Still have goosebumps after reading Chris Whitaker's We Begin at the End, not from fright but intensity of the story and characters. Highly recommend.

Now reading Keep Your Friends Close by Lucinda Berry. "When Kiersten McCann, president of the West Hollywood Moms’ Club, turns up dead in her own pool, it quickly becomes clear this wasn’t an accident. And the party guests—all members of the exclusive club—are now key suspects in her murder." Well, these privileged ladies are keeping me guessing.
