I Just Don't Know
I'm a huge fan of John Lescroart, but this short story.puzzles me. The subtitle is "Thriller: Stories to keep you up all night". But this was only one story, and a very short one at that. Took me five minutes to read! I just don't know what to think. It's like when I visited Stonehenge a couple years ago, I just don't know what to make of it. I really love the Dismis Hardy books. But really don't know what to think of this one. The only way it will keep me up all night is wondering what the point is.

I love the Butterfield Institute series from M.J. Rose. It features sex therapist Dr. Morgan Snow. In New York City, Dr. Snow's patient tells a chilling tale. The patient then goes to John Lescroart's San Francisco to cause mayhem with a married man. Good story for 24 pages.

Had a good start, but unfortunately it was a short story and not a full novel. Based on the few pages I read it could have been another good book by this author.
