Difficult at times to listen to but important to hear
Revisado: 06-09-24
Extremely well researched and performed. It’s hard to be reminded of that really terrible time in our nations history - of how we were manipulated by politicians and the resulting tragic loss of & unimaginable damage done to so many honorable people. It’s a good story with a profound message.

Adam Turner works the mid-dawn shift at his local radio station. From 12am to 6am, it’s his job to fill the airtime with old songs, inane chatter, and the occasional talkback caller. It’s a long way from his prime-time slot from over a decade ago, when he was a star in the making. Now there’s no producers, no billboards, no stakes, and not many listeners. His frequent callers are drunk students headed home from a night out, or long-range truck drivers. He is completely alone in the studio from midnight until dawn every night. And then one night at 12:45am, he gets a different kind of call.

Paris, 1939: The Nazis think Éliane can't understand German. They’re wrong. They think she’s merely cataloging art in a Louvre museum and unaware they’re stealing national treasures for their private collections. They have no idea she’s carefully decoding their notes and smuggling information to the Resistance. But Éliane is playing a dangerous game. Does she dare trust the man she once loved with her secrets, or will he only betray her once again?

Too much romance, not enough history.
Revisado: 07-09-22
I read this book thinking it was based on fact and found that while broadly based on fact, romance was more the essence of the book.

The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

One of the best books I’ve ever read!
Revisado: 03-20-22
It’s full of history I didn’t know, but should have - A story of ordinary guys who accomplished incredible things… Not only in rowing, but in their extraordinary lives by contributing to the greater good. The book as well read and I highly recommend it.

Really good book
Revisado: 04-12-21
Read this good book. As I was waiting a few more days for my one credit last month I found this in the audible ‘included ‘catalog without much expectation that it would hold my interest but took a chance. The story was intriguing & moved swiftly. I enjoyed it very much. the performance was exceptional.

Deep in the primeval rainforest of Washington state's Olympic Peninsula, the skeletal remains of a murdered man are discovered. And a strange, unsettling tale begins to unfold, for forensic anthropologist Gideon Oliver determines that the murder weapon was a primitive bone spear of a type not seen for the last 10,000 years. And whoever - or whatever - hurled it did so with seemingly superhuman force. Bigfoot "sightings" immediately crop up, but Gideon is not buying them.

Would like to hear more anthro and less romance
Revisado: 08-30-20
When reading a new author I like to begin with the earliest book and come forward - as I did with Elkin and a Dark Place, his second Gideon Oliver book (because I couldn't locate the first book). Admittedly it was only his second book and it was written more than 30 years ago but I found the anthropology shallow- as in Anthro 101 - and the over-abundance of romance distracting. I almost quit but stayed with it to the last. Will give Elkin and Gideon another try hoping his later books are heavier on anthro. Almost as good as Kathy Reichs ~ at least in this book ~ he was not. Not even close.
