Happy New Year! I am excited about my book club’s 2021 reading list. Although it is heavy on suspense, it features some wonderful authors that we love, plus a couple of new-to-us writers. We would love for you to join us. Visit our FB Page.
January’s pick is Burden of Proof by Davis Bunn. Although we have read this author before, it was years ago. I can’t wait for everyone to read this thought-provoking novel. All the details are below.
Three weeks after his twenty-third birthday, Ethan missed the chance to save his brother’s life when he was murdered on the steps of the courthouse in Jacksonville, Florida. Ever since that fateful day, Ethan has sensed a deep disconnect between the man he should have been and the one he has become. His days play out a beat too slow, his mind replaying the scene of his failure again and again.
But when his brother’s widow appears, asking for his help in uncovering what was really behind his brother’s death, Ethan is stunned to hear that she and her late husband were involved in a much larger case than he knew–one that threatens the global power structure. As Ethan joins the search for answers, he will enter into his own past–and discover a means of redeeming his future.
