The List by J.A. Konrath

This was one of March's book selections for my book club. I am happy to say, the ladies chose well. It was entertaining and something I wouldn't probably have read, or possibly even heard of, were it not for my book club.

The premise, while a bit convoluted, was completely engaging and fun. There are 10 people who have mysterious numbers tattooed on the heel of one of their feet, that's been there since they were adopted as infants. As these 10 have approached their 30th birthday, paths start crossing, and numbers start being murdered. It's up to a police detective, with a mystery number on his foot, to figure out the murder and connect the dots to solve the mystery. And while it seems like any other mystery, it took a turn that was definitely nothing like I've read before!

If you're a fan of murder mystery/thrillers, with a bit of history and science sprinkled in, then give this book a go. It's not the most convenient book to get a hold of, as it's only available on Kindle e-readers and print on demand books, but it's worth it for a fun, fast paced adventure in the comfort of your own home!
