LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE

Celeste Ng. LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE. Penguin, 2017.

Read this in January for the U of M Book Club. Enjoyed the story of alternative and dysfunctional families living in a designed community in Cleveland (one of the few American cities I have visited). Changes were made for the television adaptation.

STRANGE AFFAIR

 Peter Robinson. STRANGE AFFAIR. M & S, 2005.

My seventh Robinson title. From the blurb, I wasn't sure whether I had read it before or whether I just remembered some details from the tv adaptation. Alan Banks' businessman brother Roy contacts him and then disappears. Have not read it before. Great read, with ALan trying to find out what his brother was involved with and Annie trying to find out why a girl with Banks' address in her back pocket was murdered. People trafficking, white slavery.
