The Actor And The Housewife

Hale, Shannon
A Mormon mother-of-four from Utah sells a movie script in LA and becomes best friends with a famous actor. Explores what friendship and marriage relationships are, with lots of witty dialogue. Some of the things that happened were like a punch in the gut to me, so it is not all fun.

(I need to keep it just as it is, just in case it was all a mistake, just in case Mike's alive and coming home any day.) -- page 278

I like Stanley more, but the puzzles are interesting.

The Appeal

Hallett, Janice
(The Appeal, #1) I enjoyed reading this mystery, where nothing is revealed until the end, unless you are smart enough to figure it out. Which I am not. A plan to raise funds to help a child with cancer, some nurses who return from Africa, a doctor from Africa, and others, figure in this tale.
