After a brief break we resumed in January. Our novel of choice was Proof, written by Beverley McLachlin (lawyer and judge). Our story takes us to Shaughnessy, British Columbia where we meet Jilly Truit, lawyer. She has a law firm, beautiful daughter and home. But everything is not idyllic.

Jilly had a rough start in life. Edith, her social worker since a child has been always there for her. Her life was finally coming together until her partner was shot and killed. A year later she was still trying to put the pieces together.

A case comes up that forces Jilly into action. A child has disappeared and the mother has been charged with her disappearance and murder.

Can Jilly unravel the mystery of the disappearance? Can she help the mother? Can she finally put her life together? Time for you to read the book and get the answers to these and many more questions.

Our next read for February will be Trevor Noah: Born a Crime.
