Six Years by Harlan Coben - a man's girlfriend suddenly marries someone else. When that man dies six years later he finds that the widow is not his old girlfriend. Mystery ensues. Just a tad of stalkerishness that I found a little uncomfortable.

The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion - a book she wrote the year after her husband of 40 years died unexpectedly. Her daughter was quite ill at the time and died around the time the book was published. I thought her observations on how we're expected to handle grief have changed were quite interesting.

The Hour of Peril: The Secret Plot to Kill Lincoln Before the Civil War by Daniel Stoshower - a non-fiction book that read rather like a mystery. A part of history I didn't know. Evidently there's controversy over whether a plot existed, if it did who discovered it, and then who's version after was correct. What I found interesting was the utter lack of security at the time. I'm surprised Lincoln wasn't at least injured by the crowds if not killed accidentally.

High Country Fall by Margaret Maron - another Judge Deborah Knott mystery. This time she's out of her county and in the mountains during leaf time.
3 stars

Proof of Guilt by Charles Todd - an Inspector Ian Rutledge mystery. I found this to be a little too confusing. I absolutely could not figure out what was going on anymore than the inspector. Just a little too convoluted.
