Puzzle Master, by Danielle Trussoni

 We're still reading, "L" and I, but we squeezed in an out-of-state visit together in October ❤️ thus we paused our book club stuff. This one, the Puzzle Master, was a great one to re-start our club. 

Trussoni is a gifted writer, which makes the writer in me happy. 

The book was a page-turner from the word go. It really is reminiscent of a Dan Brown novel - with its esoteric topics. In this book, it's math and AI. But with dashes of spookiness. Ooooo. 

Spoiler alert - it ends in a way that leaves the story open to the next book. I personally don't like when writers hit you over the head with the fact that you're reading a series. Still, thumbs up on this one.

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte

Written in 1847, this classic story is exorbitantly long at 23 hours for the audio (647 pgs in print). The story is heavily character-driven...
