Quarter 2, Post 2: The Mystery of Eva

So far I have read to page 38 in The Lace Reader, and it is already very exciting. At the beginning of the novel the characters of Towner, and young woman, and Eva, her grandmother, are introduced. Beezer, Towner’s brother, is also introduced. One of the first things that happens in the novel is that Eva is reported missing from her home. Towner, in shock of this news, goes to Eva’s house to help with the investigation. As soon as she arrives, she finds Eva sitting in her house perfectly fine. Towner is confused by this, but is relieved to see her grandmother again and falls asleep for the night. However, in the morning she wakes up to a knock at the door. Her brother Beezer and two police come in and report to her that Eva’s body has been found and identified. Towner instantly goes into shock again. She runs through the house searching for her grandmother but finds nothing.

I am really enjoying this book so far, because I love mysteries and surprises in books, and I have already come across two in the first few chapters. I also love when books touch on very real and present day issues. I can already tell that this book will be about loosing someone you love and family, as well as the mystery of Eva, but there has to be more to it. Maybe Towner never saw Eva at all and Towner is the insane one. Or, maybe it will be one of those stories where she is right all along but nobody will listen to her. There is also a possibility that Towner saw Eva’s ghost! I do not even have a clue as to which one of these will happen, or if it will be something completely different that I never suspected, but I am very excited and anxious to find out!
