One day you're living an ordinary life - a French professor at Georgetown with boring, but satisfying routines and a close and loving family. The next, an MRI to diagnosis the source of your wrist pain reveals a bullet embedded in your neck. There's no scar, so how did it get there?
Mary Louise Kelly's twisty thriller The Bullet (#914) takes the protagonist, Caroline Cashion, on an unexpected journey with the reader along for the wild ride. Without revealing too much, Caroline's world is turned upside down when she confronts her parents and finds out she's adopted...
I didn't guess the outcome of this book, and the end isn't nicely tied up in with a bow, but the story is stronger for that. I can't wait to go back and read Kelly's first novel. I've always admired her reporting on NPR. It's nice to know she can spin out a longer tale just as skillfully. If you enjoy thrillers, add this book to your list!
