PAM'S FAVORITE
Dutton, $24.95 (signed first edition)
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to choose a book that takes place in my home town. GOOD PEOPLE is a cautionary tale about what happens when the pursuit of a seemingly worthy goal leads to betrayal, greed, and disaster. Tom and Anna Reed are a couple whose happiness is being worn away by financial stress and by the emotional turmoil caused by years of unsuccessful fertility treatments. If not for their tenant, they couldn't get by – but one day their tenant dies. When Tom and Anna go to clean out his apartment, they find $400,000 in cash in the kitchen. It's the answer to all their prayers, and the beginning of their worst nightmare. Sakey is a gifted storyteller, and I was completely swept up in the narrative. Suspenseful and poignant, GOOD PEOPLE is his best yet.
