First paragraph:
Later, in weaker moments, Lovell Hall reminded himself of the logical fallacy that young scientists so often committed: Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. After this, therefore because of this. Of course, without certain information - and in the face of other unfortunate realities - the timing of that evening with his wife was impossible to ignore.About the book:
“In The Daylight Marriage, there are two mysteries--the whereabouts of a missing woman and the vagaries of the human heart. Heidi Pitlor explores both of these enigmas with equal mastery, merging a shocking crime story with an incisive portrait of a failed marriage. The result is a novel that is fast-moving, emotionally complex, and ultimately heartbreaking.”—Tom Perrotta, author of Nine InchesI don't know if I'm ready for a heartbreaking novel. I always prefer plots that have happy endings or promise better things in the future. But I'm curious about this one.

ReplyDeleteI don't know about the opening paragraph. It didn't grab me. The blurb was much better. I hope it's a good one for you.
ReplyDeletehmm, sounds promising actually
ReplyDeleteIs this the cover for the paperback? I seem to remember another cover on this book. I've seen this one in the library and thought about reading it. The crime angle is appealing, but I'm not sure this is actually a crime novel. I'll wait and see what you think.
ReplyDeletePretty cover but the intro did not draw me in. Hope u like this one.
ReplyDeleteI like the cover, but I'm needing fluffy happiness after my last book. Girl Who Reads
