Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

The Mystery at Lilac Inn
Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes ★★★☆☆
As this prequel novella tells the story of the missing girl from Slaughter’s excellent novel, “Pretty Girls”, it really should be read second. It’s compelling, and suspenseful, and especially poignant knowing how everything ends for her in the novel. But it also went on far too long. It should have been a short story, rather than a novella.
Audiobook, borrowed from my public library via Overdrive. Excellent performance by Kathleen Early, the same narrator that reads “Pretty Girls”.
