Nine Lives, Swanson - B

       This is a modern iteration of Agatha Christie's famous 'And Then There Were None.' A dying New England man thinks back to the tragic death of his ten year old sister sixty years ago and plots the deaths of the children of those who contributed to it. He sends a list to nine people with no explanation and no hints about what the list is about. As one of the recipients is an FBI agent, the first death is noticed and a nationwide search ensues. This is a fast paced, well done page turner.
