Isabelle is reading Dexter by Design by Jeffry Lindsay. This is the fourth thriller to feature Dexter Morgan. The narrator is a homicidal forensics investigator and the reader follows him through his days at work, as well as when he picks his next victim and finally kills them. The series inspired a TV show on HBO called Dexter.
Margo, owner of puppy Bella, suggests the new book by Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer), How to Raise the Perfect Dog – more of the same advice that is in previous books but starting with a puppy instead of a problem dog. The book follows four puppies of different breeds chosen and raised by Cesar.
Bev’s suggestion is A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks. This novel is set in London, England during the week before Christmas in 2008. A despicable hedge-fund manager, his neglected, pot-smoking teenage son, a book-loving subway car driver, an Islamic youth who gets recruited into a suicide-bombing cell, and a spiteful literary critic are just a few of the diverse cast of characters whose lives are all related in some way. A thriller and satire of our times.
