Into the Water by Paula Hawkins - two women die just a few months apart in a river that has claimed several lives over the decades. This revives mysteries, old and current. I found the writing style irritating, the story is told from every character's viewpoint, I suppose in an effort to build suspense. . I think the author is trying too hard to be different.

Death Comes for the Deconstructionist by Daniel Taylor - Joe Mote is struggling mentally and sinking fast when he's hired to look into the death of his former professor. He's aided in his investigation by his developmentally disabled sister who in some ways is the smarter of the two. This is not a typical mystery. It has lots to say about academic culture, Christianity, race relations, and who defines truth.
3.5 stars
