The Girl with a Clock for a Heart: A Novel

It's no secret that I think mystery/thrillers are great summer reads -- and certainly good diversions from more serious reading.  This one is a page turner!  It's a good psychological thriller -- if you like Tana French or Gillian Flynn, you might give Peter Swanson a try!

On the surface this is just another book about an evil woman who seduces the men in her life who aren't strong enough to shake the addiction.  I won't say that I was kept guessing until the final page -- but the characters were interesting enough to hold my attention.  And the story has lots of twists and turns. Having said that -- I have to admit I found the ending to be unsatisfying -- not too terribly disappointing, but just not one of those books I'll think about for very long. 
             Even so -- it met my criteria of: "Must entertain me on every page."  


Time to get back to my list: I'm half way through Radical and am determined to finish it by the end of the weekend!!!
