Daydreaming about Beach Reading

My beach vacation is only 9 days away.  I’m dreaming about the sandy beaches, no work, 6 days and 5 nights of relaxation with my family, and more sandy beaches.

#82 ~ Escape

Escape by Robert K. Tanenbaum It’s been quite some time since I’ve read a courtroom drama/thriller. So, when I was offered the opportunity to read Escape, I eagerly agreed.
