Historia
Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening, her husband, Gabriel, returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety.

Good read. Not great read.
Revisado: 06-21-23
Overall a good read, not a great read. The premise of the story is interesting - multiple murders separated by several decades. But there were parts that revealed themselves less eloquently than a great book. The reveal of the details of the killers motive, timing, etc was dumped in the reader making it feel like the author was eager to wrap up the story.

Historia
In a dusty town in Nebraska’s rugged sandhills, weary Sheriff’s Deputy Harley Jensen patrols the streets at night, on the lookout for something - anything - out of the ordinary. It’s July 1978, and the heat is making people ornery, restless. That and the Reddick family patriarch has decided, decades after authorities ended the search for his murdered boy’s body, to lay a headstone. Instead of bringing closure, this decision is the spark that threatens to set Pickard County ablaze.

Dramatically Disappointed
Revisado: 08-26-22
I read a review of this book which gave it high praise. But I am disappointed. The story was dark and moody, giving the reader the impression that something big would happen with each page turn or at least with each chapter. Instead, the story plodded along, with interesting starts to character development, until the big reveal at the end, which honestly was underwhelming.
The narrator's voice is wonderfully deep and mellow, fitting the book's mood. However, there was not enough variation in his voice between characters, making it difficult to tell who was talking at times. Also, the entire book was read in a dramatic fashion. It was exhausting to listen to. Perhaps this book would have been better to read than to listen to.

Historia
In a remote Polish village, Janina devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology, translating the poetry of William Blake, and taking care of the summer homes of wealthy Warsaw residents. Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is amplified by her not-so-secret preference for the company of animals over humans. Then, a neighbor, Big Foot, turns up dead. Soon, other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange circumstances. As suspicions mount, Janina inserts herself into the investigation, certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind....

Detail overkill
Revisado: 03-29-22
Beautiful details of the main characters surroundings, but it takes almost two hours to make any progress toward what is driving the main character forward. The story would be more engaging If 2-1/2 hr of details about the scenery were eliminated.
