Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton

    This book was a nice change of pace.  A little something out of the ordinary.  It is in the fiction section  but it is really a mystery.  It is told from the point of view of Grace.  She does a great job of it considering she is actually lying in a hospital bed in a coma.  Have you ever heard of an out-of-body experience?  Well, she is having one.   While helping out at a sports day at her son's school, Grace rushes into a burning building to save her daughter.   How relieved Grace is when she finds her daughter in the hospital. Then she realizes the daughter that she is 'seeing' and 'talking' to is also out of her body.  Being able to travel without being seen has its advantages and Grace soon overhears the word arson being used.  She wants to find out who is responsible.  It was a good mystery and there were lots of interesting characters (in other words they had interesting secrets!) and oh so many possible suspects.
