The Black House, by Peter May. Two teenagers disappear into a<br />
ramshackle boat shed, but their hurried passion is interrupted<br />
by the gruesome discovery of a body hanging from a beam. The<br />
murder bears the hallmarks of a recent killing in Edinburgh.<br />
Fin Macleod, an Edinburgh cop, is sent to investigate. He is<br />
grateful for the respite: just a month before tragedy changed his<br />
happy life as husband and father, and that life was over for good.<br />
As the murder of Angel Macritchie gradually unravels, Fin must<br />
confront some terrible truths about his young life.<br />
April 13<br />
The Wedding, by Nicholas Sparks. Wilson Lewis must face the<br />
painful truth that the romance has gone out of his marriage and<br />
it is his fault. Unable to express his true feelings, he spent too little<br />
time at home and too much at the office. Now his daughter is<br />
about to marry, and his wife is about to leave him. But his love for<br />
Jane has grown over the years; he will go to extraordinary lengths<br />
to win back his wife of thirty years.<br />
May 11<br />
The Crossing by Michael Connelly. Harry Bosch left the LAPD<br />
before he could be fired. He hired Defense Attorney Mickey Haller<br />
to sue the department for forcing him out. Mickey asks him to<br />
help on one of his cases, and suddenly Harry is in the middle of<br />
a particularly puzzling murder mystery. This time Harry is working<br />
for the defense. The prosecution seems to have a cast-iron case,<br />
but having crossed over to the dark side, as his former colleagues<br />
would put it, Harry is in danger of betraying the very principles<br />
he’s lived by his entire career.<br />
