Thank you for posting this - I was searching for a new audiobook and my library had this one. I LOVE Diane Chamberlain and especially when Susan Bennett narrates her books, and she is the narrator for this one.
My favorite DC books are The Dream Daughter and Stolen Marriage. Highly recommend both.
I’ve been waiting for my library to get The Dream Daughter in. Big Lies in a Small Town was also good! The Dream Daughter was probably my favorite DC book ever! She's been a favorite author of mine for a long, long time. If Susan Bennett reads her audiobooks, even better! The Silent Sister was probably my least favorite in the last 3 I read (Big Lies in a Small Town would be in the middle). Definitely get your hands on The Dream Daughter if you can!

Oh, hi. I haven't been here for a bit. I have been reading, though. For a while it was a struggle with all of the COVID-19 distraction. I suspect some of the things I have finished recently were inspired by previous threads here, so thanks for that.
The Dutch House was a recent favorite. Really enjoyed it.
The Stranger Inside, by Lisa Unger. Definitely a page-tuner. Also enjoyed.
Atomic Habitsby James Clear. This was very helpful and I highly recommend if you are looking for a book about making small changes that add up in your personal and/or work life. Good motivation for achieving goals.
The Authenticity Project. Definitely enjoyed this one. Would recommend.
The House We Grew Up In. I suspect this one was quite good but for some reason I got really bogged down in it, and I also found myself not caring about the characters. It's one of those ones that I just didn't connect with but it could possibly have been the mood I was in/things going on at the time. I really dragged my feet getting through it. I also read The Killer Across the Table by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker. Definitely enjoyed it and would recommend if you are into the MDK (murder-death-kill) genre. It was also pretty insightful just in general. Focused on several individuals but he threw in stuff about lots of well-known cases and killers.
Up next for me is Olive, Again but it's apparently one in a series and I haven't read the first one.
I am also reading Unsub, by Meg Gardiner.
I am down to just 5 physical library books left, from 14. I had a bunch prior to the pandemic hitting and the libraries closing, and then when they opened back up a bunch more holds came in, so it's been a challenge to get through them at my reduced rate of reading. There are some in the small stack left that I've really been looking forward to, including:
Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate and The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 by Garrett M. Graff.
Thanks for all the suggestions you guys make--when I see one that intrigues me, I go to my library account and put it on hold. It's led to many hours of good reading. Much appreciated.

Lots of great suggestions here, as usual!
I have recently read:
The Dutch House--liked this a lot more than I thought I would.
The House We Grew Up In--this was ok but took me longer than usual because I guess I just wasn't that into it.
Currently listening to White Fragility and Eat, Fast, Repeat and started Ask Again, Yes. Just started this last night. So far it's ok but I am not sure what the rest will bring.
