I’ve completed 17 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles in the past 14 weeks. Mostly by myself.
Over that same time, I also cut way back on booze, halved my phone screen time (okay, it’s maybe 30% less), and gone on a dozen hikes. All without losing a single cardboard piece.

“End of Story,” by A. J. Finn (William Morrow)
A. J. Finn’s “The Woman in the Window” was a huge best-seller. “End of Story” is destined to be, too. It’s a mystery more than a thriller, and a tightly crafted page-turner.
