Book of the Day: The Burial Society

The Burial Society by Nina Sadowsky is a non-stop, run-away train, oh-dear-god-what-else-could-go-wrong, kind of thriller that speeds by faster than those wee hours between “I’ll just read a few chapters before I go to sleep” and “damn! Is that my alarm going off?”  This really is a fun read.  Sadowsky’s characters are, for the most part, wonderfully tragic, self-centered and self-destructive, yet they each want to so desperately to help each other.  They are extreme examples of most anyone going through a crisis,  acutely aware of their own pain and tired of feeling helpless, they become obsessed with solving the mystery at the heart of it all–what happened to Mallory Burrows?
