"On a balmy July night in New Hampshire a shot rings out in a garden, and a man falls to the ground, terribly wounded. The wounded man is Spencer McCullough, the shot that hit him was fired–accidentally–by his adolescent daughter Charlotte. With this shattering moment of violence, Chris Bohjalian launches the best kind of literate page-turner: suspenseful, wryly funny, and humane."

Bought this at Half Price Books, but realized I already had a copy on Mt. TBR when I got home (doh!).

Placing into my Best of BC bookbox....

Taking out of "Best of BC" bookbox. I have yet to read any of this author's work..so maybe now I will.

I made it to about page 70 and was bored with the story and characters...so I'm giving up on it. Putting into "water" bookbox.

Removing from bookbox, sending off to Mt. To-Be-Read ....

***Noticed that our public library had this on their audio shelves a few weeks ago. May end up listening to it instead but I'll decide later....

What you have in your hands is an honest-to-goodness gift, no strings attached. You may keep it forever and ever, pass it on to a friend, or release it in the wild like I did. I know it may seem a little odd to find this lying around--it's my way of touching the lives of others in a positive way, with the hope that it made your day.
