The book publishes this spring, it's not RH, and that's about all I will say. I don't want to give people an unfair preconception of the book, which I enjoyed, just because I thought I was smarter than the author :) It's not a twist at the end ... what I *thought* was the ending was actually revealed about 1/3 of the way through, and the rest of the mystery went from there. Enjoyable. Not predictable. No, it was nothing like that. The book publishes this spring, it’s not RH, and that’s about all I will say.

Maybe we've already read it..... I have to say, I *hate* books that base a story on a certain premise, then yank that premise out from under you right at the very end. I mean, why bother reading it? It is like the whole "Who shot JR?" issue--oh, nobody did, it was only a dream. That is a big cheat. Umm, okay, off the soapbox now, carry on...... That’s two of us dying to know what book it was–come on, just a little hint? Maybe we’ve already read it…..
