(4,302 posts)8. Loved visiting Shakespeare & Co in 2004 with daughter. Charming cat roamed tabletops full
of books. Then wandered down the street to eat at outside cafe beneath a beautiful moon and view of Notre Dame. Epic night.
Reading Take Your Breath Away by Linwood Barclay. "One weekend, while Andrew Mason was on a fishing trip, his wife, Brie, vanished without a trace. Most everyone assumed Andy had got away with murderits always the husband, isnt it?but the police could never build a strong case against him. For a while, Andy hit rock bottomhe drank too much to numb the pain, was abandoned by all his friends save one, nearly lost his business, and became a pariah in the place he once called home." Surprise, a women resembling the wife is seen 6 years later! Page turning good read, keeps me guessing.
