Book #39 -- Peter Abrahams, Delusion, 297 pages.
An interesting murder mystery in that it is told from the point of view of a small town housewife who is becoming increasingly convinced that people she knows and loves are involved in the crime. As such, she doesn't really *want* to know, but can't seem to help herself from digging deeper. This results both in some very interesting effects as well as a certain amount of frustration when what is going on becomes obvious to the reader, but the narrator is still floundering around because of her unwillingness to believe that the people she has known for 20 years could possibly do such a thing.
