Absent Friends
This book was not a joy to read. I felt with the title Absent Friends and the setting post 9-11 in NYC. It would be a story that focused on the aftermath of that day and how people picked up the pieces and moved on in their lives. Instead Jimmy a NYFD is killed in the towers and we flash back and forth between 2001 and 1979. It seems a childhood friend was killed and the one who did the shooting is in jail and tradegy happens again. We then spend over 300 pages trying to make sense of a muddled mess. Harry the reporter and his actions are not necesary. Many of the relationships seem disconnected and there is little to reflect on 9/11 in this book. I would of been happy if the ending if Jimmy just walked away from it all on that day and started a new life. That would of been a better story. I enjoy her series with Bill and Lydia and will keep reading these. Not sure if I will give In this Rain a try or not.
