Since She Went Away
Since She Went Away by David Bell.
Paperback: 432 pages
Publisher: NAL (June 21, 2016)
ISBN-10: 045147421X
Three months earlier, Jenna Barton was supposed to meet her lifelong best friend Celia. But when Jenna arrived late, she found that Celia had disappeared—and hasn’t been seen again. Jenna has blamed herself for her friend’s disappearance every single day since then.
The only piece of evidence is a lone diamond earring found where Celia and Jenna were planning to meet, leading the national media to dub Celia “The Diamond Mom.” And even though Jenna has obsessively surfed message boards devoted to missing persons cases, she is no closer to finding any answers—or easing her guilt.
But when her son’s new girlfriend—who suddenly arrived in town without a past—disappears, a stricken Jenna begins to unwind the tangled truth behind Celia’s tragedy. And as long-buried secrets finally come to light, she discovers how completely lives can be shattered by a few simple lies.
This is book number 7 for me, written by David Bell. My first was Cemetery Girl and from then on I've been a fan.
This book was no exception. I am not sure how to define his writing, but one always feels they are right there and part of the story ... and that it's real!
Like other's of his books it's hard to set them down for very long. It helps, tremendously, that he writes very short chapters, which always makes you read one or two more before setting the book down! I don't know if publishers like that or not but "I" sure do!
Chalk up another good read from David Bell!

I don't always do a list of books I read for each month, but last month all the books were really good so here they are:
21.The Black Box.......................Michael Connelly....(480 pgs)
22.Cracks in the Sidewalk..............Bette L. Crosby.....(332 pgs)
23.A Memory of Violets.................Hazel Gaynor........(432 pgs)
24.The Midnight Rose...................Lucinda Riley.......(496 pgs)
25.The Likeness........................Tana French.........(466 pgs)
I didn't read when I was on my trip except for something on my tablet that I "thought" was a full length book but turned out to be only 48 pages. It was Confessions of an English Opium Eater by Thomas DeQuincey. Maybe I should count that as a book anyway lol...
Well, Happy Reading for you all for the month of July!!

You find unusual authors that I've never heard of and here's another one. Good sounding book. Considering you were away for a couple of weeks you had a great reading month, Sis!
I haven't even heard of this author but it sounds fantastic. Just the type of thing I like to read! I'll have to check him out.
