The Odds : A Love Story, by Stewart O'Nan

unfinished, too depressing

Skip Case, by R. E. Derouin

The origin story--How They Met--which was more than a little creepy because David and Cynthia met when her husband disappeared. It is explained, at the end, that they dated for quite awhile before getting married to each other, which is good since the basis of this book is that Cynthia really loved her first husband; her going on dates with Dean just weeks after his disappearance rings a little off to me.

Anyway, the gist of the book was outstanding and complicated; I had no idea what was going on.

The Bawdy Basket, by Edward Marston

So, Edmund falls deeply in love with a wealthy woman who wants him to quit the theatre, Nicholas gets involved in helping to redeem the name of another player's father who was hanged for a murder he didn't commit, the King's Men nearly disband due to their patron's bankruptcy, and I still don't know what the hell a bawdy basket means in slang!

Other than that, quite a good book. Lots of plotlines and good new characters.
