The last time that I talked to Jim, he recommended a book to me called, "Mrs. March." At first, I thought it was a historical fiction piece about the matriarch of Little Women. I was surprised when I found out that it was a thriller about a woman who believes that her husband murdered someone. As I love reading mystery and suspense, I decided to give it a try.
The good news was that it was an easy read and definitely had mystery and suspense. The bad news was that the main character was absolutely paranoid and most of the book was reading about her theories on her husband killing a young woman or how everyone was out to get her. Neither of which were true. There was a big twist at the end which made reading it worthwhile, but overall, I found Agatha March so unsettling that the book actually gave me nightmares. I ended up giving it to a friend of mine to read to see what she thought and then started on the biography "Hemingway's Boat." Cal had given it to me a while ago and I knew that it would be the perfect way to get the disturbing Mrs. March out of my head.
