The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie (a satirical novella) is a really good short book by my favorite author, Freida McFadden. It appears that Alice has the perfect marriage, but no she doesn't! Although this is a short book, it has many twists and turns and even humor that is quite entertaining. I LOVED IT! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"The Idaho Four--An American Tragedy" by James Patterson and Vicky Ward
The Idaho Four by James Patterson and Vicky Ward is a fantastic read about the murder of four college students at the University of Idaho. Through lots of exclusive interviews, James Patterson and journalist Vicky Ward present their findings in this book that reads like a novel. I am not a fan of James Patterson, but this was hard to put down. He writes about the four heartbroken families and the the brilliant grad student and loner, Bryan Kohberger, who was indicted for their murders and facing trial. This book is fantastic! I would recommend this one for a book club. (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

I'm Cutting Back
I have decided not to put up reviews for all the books we read, but only for the ones that we exceptionally liked.  It's become a chore rather than a pleasure for me.  I myself seldom read books anymore because I am into gaming with friends now from 6-12 times a week.  I am considering starting a new blog about gaming.  We'll see.

In Going Home in the Dark by Dean Kuntz Four kids in a small town are very good friends. Three of them leave, but one stays. He is now in a coma. His three friends come back to see him; however, they must deal with their childhood nightmares they grew up with. I think this book was pretty good with action and an interesting storyline.
