Books of July

A fun read about "buried treasure."  Revisits the detective and others from Mr. Mercedes.

Sometimes I read Young Adult books that pique my interest.  This was one:  a dystopian universe in the future with various groups of different status (Don't they all have these?), a young girl from the Scholars group and a young man at a training school where his mother is the scary commandant.  I'm looking forward to the second book in the series.

A rather improbable story about a young woman searching for clues about her grandfather's suicide at the same time she's studying a white garden to copy for a client.  Somehow this all becomes connected to Virginia Wolff and her death, possibly a homicide.  Okay but not great.

Happy reading!
