Today I’m participating in WWW Wednesdays, at Taking on a World of Words. Here’s how it works:
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next, and/or what are you eagerly awaiting?

CURRENTLY READING: The Liar’s Child, by Carla Buckley: In this intense and intimate family portrait that moves at a thriller’s pace, a troubled woman faces a gripping moral dilemma after rescuing two abandoned children from a hurricane.

EAGERLY ANTICIPATING:
The Editor, by Steven Rowley – Release Date: 4/2/19
Synopsis: From the bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus comes a novel about a struggling writer who gets his big break, with a little help from the most famous woman in America.
After years of trying to make it as a writer in 1990s New York City, James Smale finally sells his novel to an editor at a major publishing house: none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Jackie–or Mrs. Onassis, as she’s known in the office–has fallen in love with James’s candidly autobiographical novel, one that exposes his own dysfunctional family. But when the book’s forthcoming publication threatens to unravel already fragile relationships, both within his family and with his partner, James finds that he can’t bring himself to finish the manuscript.
Jackie and James develop an unexpected friendship, and she pushes him to write an authentic ending, encouraging him to head home to confront the truth about his relationship with his mother. Then a long-held family secret is revealed, and he realizes his editor may have had a larger plan that goes beyond the page…

That was my week so far…what did yours look like?

Your review of Night Beach made me think of a book I read a while back, We Were the Salt of the Sea by Roxanne Bouchard, which is also a mystery set in a seaside community.

Thanks, Katherine, I’m enjoying The Liar’s Child so far…it has multiple narrators, and once I caught on to how they each fit in the story, it flowed for me.
I did love both Night Beach and The Next to Die. I hope you do, too.
