T is for Trespass by Sue Grafton

This book is part of the Kinsey Millhone series. Kinsey's older neighbor Gus takes a fall and needs some help until he gets better. Gus' niece comes out for a visit and finally hires a nurse named Solana to take care of him. She of course asks Kinsey to check her out. Kinsey does a little background check on Solana and everything checks out a-ok. But unknown to all, Solana isn't really who she says she is. As usual Sue Grafton spins a great story. A book you can't put down and always wonder as you're reading how Kinsey is going to get out of this mess. I love this series and can't wait to read the next one.

The Geometry of Sisters by Luanne Rice

The book begins a year after Maura Shaw loses her husband in a storm on a boat and her oldest daughter Carrie runs away. She moves her two other children to Rhode Island where she begins teaching at Newport Academy. Her daughter Beck is lost without her sister and is obsessed with mathematics. Her son Travis is dealing with a long distant relationship but finds himself drawn to another girl at school. Under all this is a secret kept for years and when exposed could change the family forever. It was pretty good, I hadn't read Luanne Rice for a while so it was enjoyable. A good beach read.

Sugar Skull by Denise Hamilton

This is the first book I've read by this author. It's about a journalist named Eve Diamond who's starts researching a death of a teenager girl and discover other teenagers who hang out in a not so good area. While looking into this she comes across a wealth family and politician who may be involved. Next thing Eve knows the wife is found dead in her pool. Then she asked to research a local Mexican arena where things start getting personal with one of the people she's interviewing. Of course all of these things are linked. I enjoyed the book for the most part, wondered how it was going to all tie together. Would read another book by this author to continue this series. Rating: B
