2009 book 108

Michelle Richmond's No One You Know
Twenty years after her sister was murdered and a close friend/teacher turned her sad conversations into a best-selling true crime book, a woman's chance encounter has her investigating the death all over again. Though this isn't a mystery really, more of a novel that has a mystery inside it. I guess tragic and mysterious family dramas are Richmond's specialty; her previous book had similar themes. (There's a weird meta-mention of that novel in this one that I found a little off-putting.) Anyway, this was entertaining enough to read in one sitting, though not particularly spectacular in any way (a little too much math-related dialogue for my taste). B+.
