I read James Patterson’s The Horsewoman. As a former equestrian I think he did a fair job of getting a lot of the facts about horse shows correct, adding a subplot or two that fit into his story, but the ending was hokey. Too down pat and unbelievable. I almost feel as he got to a certain number of pages and then explored the quickest way to tie it all up. I enjoyed it overall, but he lost me the last 100 or so pages.
Yesterday I read The Collective by Alison Gaylin. It’s about woman who avenge their children’s deaths by joining a group of similar ladies. I’m still not sure what I thought about it, other than it kept my interest with some chills. It also permeated my dreams and I’m still thinking about it this morning. It would make an interesting movie.
