Ugg! Frustration!

I didn't get a chance to finish my book last night! I'm so frustrated - I taught PSAT class until 830, got back to my apartment at 930 and by the time I ate dinner, caught up on school work and took care of some housekeeping details, I was too tired to read!

Actually, I started to read and despite my best efforts, I fell asleep! To add to my frustration, I forgot my book at home this morning so I can't even read it over my lunch break. Ugh. The first thing I'm going to do when I get home tonight - before I eat or look at the mail - is sit down and finish my book!

What I'm reading

What The Dead Know by Laura Lippman

I started this book a few days ago and it's a real page turner! It's the story of two sisters, the Bethany girls, who disappeared 30 years ago without a trace from a Baltimore shopping mall. At the beginning of the book, a woman is involved in a traffic accident and when questioned by the police, claims to be the younger Bethany sister. Although at first she is reluctant to answer the questions everyone wants answers to (where has she been for 30 years? Who kidnapped her? What happened to her sister?), eventually she tells her tale... which investigators discover is full of dead ends.

Who is this woman and why has she come forth after all of these years? Well, that's what I'll hopefully find out tonight when I finish the book - the suspense is driving me crazy!

If you like to watch shows such as "Without a Trace", "CSI", or "Cold Case", then you'll love "What the Dead Know" by Laura Lippman - it's available at the East Brunswick Public Library!
