June 5 - 11, 2016I

My Sister's Grave by Robert Dugoni - Tracy Crosswhite became a detective because of the disappearance of her sister 20 years ago. She is convinced the man serving a prison sentence for the murder is innocent, which means the real killer is out there. When her sister's body is discovered, she is determined to find the truth. A couple of good twists. The beginning of a series and I will probably read more.

The Most Perfect Thing: Inside (and Outside) a Bird's Egg by Tim Birkhead - a very detailed description of how a bird's egg is formed, laid, and hatched and how much it varies from bird to bird. The author has studied birds, mainly the guillemot, for over 40 years. I enjoyed the beginning of the book but soon got bogged down with the many scientific terms. It is fascinating how complex an egg is.
