Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriary was set in Australia and was about a cellist. It is also about friendships, relationships, families, secrets and obsessive compulsive disorders.
The House by Simon Lelic I chose to read this book because of the title. I love reading books about old houses and their contents.
Jack and Syd buy an old house in London.
The house was full of the previous owner’s belongings.
There were books, clothes, pictures,
photos, furniture and boxes. Jack described the contents as junk. Jack thought
the house was creepy but Syd was smitten.
Strange things happen, creepy and ghostly.
Jack finds a dead cat in the attic and other things.
Syd befriends a young girl living in a
house nearby. Meanwhile someone is watching their movements and stalking them.
This book is about secrets, family
relationships, revenge and murder. It is paced quickly, with both Jack and Syd
telling their versions of what led them to buy the house and what happened when
they moved in.
Did not do a lot of reading in June because we went on a ten day road trip along the coast of Queensland. We took our twelve year old granddaughter. While driving we played car bingo with lots of loud discussion about who saw something first and who said Bingo first. I was too tired to do much reading.
I did manage to finish reading Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova this novel was set in Bulgaria in the present time with flash backs to the 1950's.
Alexandra accidentally picks up a case with a precious item that belongs to someone else. She sets out to return the case helped by a taxi driver. Their quest takes them all over Bulgaria.
