The Catch by Alison Fairbrother
2.0

When a grieving daughter receives the item from her father’s will its not the one she thought, instead she is left with something that makes her question what she truly meant to her father and who he truly was. Ellie Adler is a up and coming journalist, freshly out of college for two years now and has an older lover, a group of smart friends, and a very close relationship with her father, despite his philandering ways. When he dies, she is devastated, yet when his prize possession, a baseball that held emotional value to both of them is left to someone else and she is left with a tie rack of all things she is crushed. The worst part is that the baseball is left to someone no one the family knows. Ellie begins to investigate who her father truly is. The overall mystery was eh and I found myself a bit irritated by the main protagonist and the fact that she is seeing a married guy who is 39 with her being just two years out of college. In fact having a father who was twiced divorced and has four kids among three women you’d think she’d know better but apparently not. Overall it was an okay read
