A few months ago, when living in Denver, Allison @ The Book Wheel and I randomly blog met and then real-life met. One of the first things we did (after making sure we weren’t scary people that we met online) was exchange 
book suggestions. And the book suggestion Allison gave me months ago was Tigers in Red Weather by Liza Klaussmann.
Nick and her cousin Helena marry well. . . or so they think at first. Nick’s husband Hughes doesn’t provide enough love and affection, so she seeks it elsewhere. Helena’s husband is a loser, and their son, Ed, seems to be a little “off.” Ed and Daisy (Nick & Hughes’ daughter) discover a murdered maid, and things begin to fall apart rapidly.
I really enjoyed Tigers in Red Weather. I like how sections of the book are told from the perspectives of all of the main characters, sometimes overlapping to give a very well-rounded point of view.
Tigers is subtly but keeps your interest. It’s a great summer read, being “beachy” but not light and fluffy, taking place in the 50s and 60s.
Here’s a quote I loved from the book:
“If there’s one thing you can be sure about in this life, it’s that you won’t always be kissing the right person” – Nick, p. 140
What book are you looking forward to for a summer read?

I don’t know that I’ve seen or heard about this one, so thanks for bringing it to my attention! I’m very much looking forward to Aimee Bender’s new collection of short stories. I’ll be reading it very soon.

I had to go hunting on my blog to remember my thoughts about this read.
As I said back when I read it, I think I would have liked this a LOT more if I hadn’t just finished reading Gone Girl. The suspense and craziness in Gone Girl overshadowed this one for me.

I totally get what you’re saying. I always think that having to go back and remind yourself on book thoughts is not a positive for the book. When that happens to me, it’s always like a “3”

I like the cover and setting and been considering it for a while, but you saying about the way you get a rounded picture, that’s someone I love so I’ll definitely look for this one.

Is not summer here, lol! But when summer comes this side then maybe it could be a book to read in summer but me and Mel are going on a trip this summer, so we might not get a lot of reading done, lol.
I do love the cover and title of the book though.
