The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

I have a question about the book that is driving me crazy. I'm about halfway through

******SPOILER, IF YOU HAVEN"T READ IT******

Sookie tells Alsede (sorry about the spelling) that she knows what the secret is that Bill is keeping, that the people are torturing him to try and find. I can't for the life of me find where he tells her this secret. Does she really know? Am I not supposed to know what she knows yet? Did I miss something?

She saw Bill working on his computer and obviously saw something she shouldn't have before he noticed her and stopped.

OK, cause she's made it seem like she knew what the Queen asked him to look into, or something. But really she only knows that the queen gave him an assignment, and she saw that picture of the guy, and she has his computer. I guess having the computer is a pretty big deal, too.

Thanks!

That would be what I would call her best negotiating tool.  You know, should she need to negotiate.

I just finished it this morning and have started on the next book. (Gotta love the Kindle!) Anyone here watch Lost? I love Eric in these books, and I think of him like Sawyer kinda. A big ol hunk of manly sexiness, and somewhere inside a tiny bit of mush.

I think you will really REALLY enjoy eric in book 4.  Which I would call by name if I could remember it.  In the fullness of time, I believe you will come to realize that the title is not important.  This is where possibly Leslie would tell you that it may be in your best interest to mark the parts you, shall we say, wish to study in more detail later.

Why mark them? Those bits are seared into my brain.

Right now there are 8, but book 9 comes out in May.

Do you have to read all of them in order to read #9 or not really.

....Yeah, they're probably best read in order.  It's a continuing story.  If you skip a book and pick up in a later book, you might be a little lost as to where some of the plot lines are coming from.  On the other hand, the books aren't very deep, so it's not very hard to figure out what's happening.
