A running list of my "Best Books of the Year", updated as I finish each book.

★★★★☆ When a man falls from the cliffs adjacent to his seaside home, his son and daughter collaborate to uncover the truth behind his death.

★★★★☆ A borderlined-5-star thriller that unveils what happened to Ellie Black, who went missing for more than two years but has now returned

★★★☆☆ A continuation of the "Cerulean Chronicles", but lacking the sweetness, joy and novelty that made the first book delightful & special.

★★★☆☆ A series of loosely-related vignettes spanning 400 years show off Mason's literary prowess but fail to coalesce into something special
