I just finished two books by Gregg Olsen who is a local Washington state author. He writes both fiction and non-fiction books. First I read a true crime story called "Starvation Heights". It was set in Washington State in the early 1900s, about a woman doctor who believed the cure all for all health problems was fasting of course she also had her patients sign over their money and property to her before they died of starvation. The story focuses mainly on two sisters and the trial of the doctor when one of the sisters dies. It is very well written, somewhat unpleasant to read at times because of the details of what the patients endured.
The second book of his I read was a fiction book called "A Wicked Snow". It is the story of a young girl who witnesses a horrible crime when she was younger. She is now grown up, married and has a daughter. She works as a CSI agent and her husband is a police office. She learns that you cannot hide from the past forever and it comes back to haunt her as she is forced to face what really happened.
Switching gears big time in a completely different direction, I just started a book I bought on eBay that was recommended in a seminar I took recently at the Sewing Expo. The seminar was on organization and the instructor Libby Lehman highly recommended the book, "Getting Things Done, The Art of Stress-Fee Productivity", by David Allen. Who doesn't need that in their lives? I just started it this weekend.
