For class, I have decided to read a book called Predator by Patricia Cornwell. It is similar to The Curious Incident in that they are both murder mysteries. Predator has a lot of things going on so far and I'm barely 30 pages in. Someone has already been murdered with threats of more to come by the Hand of God (HOG). Also, there is a subplot between the main character and two males in the story.
Dr. Scarpetta used to date her boss, Marino, at the crime lab but then something happened between them and now he never gives her credit for the murders she solves and treats her like shes nothing. She is now romantically involved with one of the men that I think is going to be killed next and this causes a lot of problems for the Doctor.
The author has foreshadowed many events, for example, based on evidence provided I believe that Dr Scarpettas new boyfriend is going to die because HOG left a note saying that he will kill someone close to her and he is the only person that she has shown any closesness with. Also, I believe that Marino is going to try to get back with Dr. Scarpetta because she broke up with him and when they were alone, he spoke to her in a way that made me think he still loves her.
