Marion and her mother are accused of kidnapping a 16 year old girl and forcing her to be their servant. Impossible, but the girl is able to describe the inside of the Franchise (the house) perfectly. She also was missing for four weeks. So how does she know about the house and what was she doing all that time. Blair is a bit in love with Marion but hates to admit it. Intriguing story. Audible/Kindle Whispersync
Follows Sadie and Sam (Mazer) from childhood to mid-thirties when both are feeling old and a bit out of it in the gaming world. Characters are well-rounded, develop throughout the novel in interesting way. Plot is involved but sensible. Not a single, "Oh, come on!" moment. The book could have been faster paced. Odd, since the main topic is video games which are not for their speed of engagement and Gabrielle Zevin clearly knows her video games. Recommended by Michael Connelly in an interview. He also has Bosch pick up the book in his novel, Resurrection Walk, as Bosch tails a possible witness to a crime as she moves through a bookstore. Sadie and Sam do not get together at the end, which is good. Marx killed by homophobic nutcase who really wants to kill Sam, but Sam isn't there. Marx is father of Sadie's child.
