England, Michigan, and China Lake

I found an interesting book at the library. "Peripheral Vision" by Patricia Ferguson. She weaves a story through time from the 50's to the 90's. The characters seemingly have no connection with each other, but in the end they are distant cousins. I guess I'm not supposed to reveal the ending, but the connection isn't really the point, it is rather a literary device to talk about family, love, and just simply dealing with life. It was well worth reading. As indicated by the title of this posting the story takes place in England
Michigan is for William Kent Krueger's latest installment in the Cork O'Connor series, Copper River. The book is a direct continuation of the last book and, as expected, things do work out. Otherwise the series would be finished. Although Cork lives in Minnesota he is hiding from bounty hunters and ends up at his cousin's place in Michigan. I bought the book because I've been following the series, but the subsequent installments had better improve or I might stop buying this one.
I am moving backwards through Meg Gardiner's Evan Delany series. I read "Crosscut", partially to look for background for the previous book, but also because Evan and Co. are kind of interesting. Lots of action and unbelievable plot devices together with conspiracy theories make a mix that keeps you reading, but not necessarily registering the details. A high school reunion with lots of dead classmates sets the scene for unraveling the consequences of an event 15 years earlier on the naval base at China Lake.
