Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is the first novel written by the British author Gail HoneyMan. Eleanor Oliphant’s story is about how she managed her life alone with great pride.

Jeri filed a formal complaint and Lacy were required by state law to get involved. The killing took place twenty years ago in Lacy' s Jurisdiction.

The characters in this book run a marathon to chase down the killer to the justice system. In the legal thriller, John Grisham's, Judge's list, the suspect is a sitting judge in Florida - Mr, Ross Bannick suspected of eight murders since 1991 all within driving distance from Pensac...
