We all love a mystery - but what about a mystery that has no solution? Delve into the shadowy world of unsolved disappearances and people who have vanished without a trace, never to be seen again. Such strange and chilling tales run the gamut of the terrifying and the bizarre and include crime victims, lost explorers, ships vanished at sea, outdoor disappearances, and supernatural mysteries that defy all explanation.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 24
The D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe, launched on June 6, 1944, is widely referred to as the longest day of World War Two. Historian Victor Brooks argues that 1944 was, in effect, the longest year for Americans of that era both in terms of United States casualties and in deciding the outcome of war itself.

Narrator access to a dictionary maybe?
Revisado: 06-22-23
This is a good book nearly ruined by the narrator's lack of understanding the subject matter and/or not doing any kind of research into locations he would be talking about. Forget the annoying pronunciation of common last names of the characters involved, (MAC-Arthur) The place names are so mis-pronounced as to drive any person at all familiar with them up the wall. I have read and listened to many books about WWII. I did finish this audio book out of sheer obstinance, but I kept looking to see how much time was left for the entire part 2 of the book.
PLEASE, audio book publishing companies. Give narrators opportunities to do research before reading OR a list of pronunciations for locations & proper names in future books.

In Unfamiliar Fishes, Sarah Vowell argues that 1898 might be a year just as crucial to our nation's identity, a year when, in an orgy of imperialism, the United States annexed Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam, and invaded Cuba and then the Philippines, becoming a meddling, self-serving, militaristic international superpower practically overnight. Of all the countries the United States invaded or colonized in 1898, Vowell considers the story of the Americanization of Hawaii to be the most intriguing.

Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to tell these stories just as I have always done, in my own voice.

Dave, creative AND nice
Revisado: 10-29-21
Ever since I saw the video of Smells Like Teen Spirit I have been fascinated with “that guy who was the drummer for Nirvana”. This book proves him worthy of that fascination. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially his stories of his family. I hope he now writes a book about the Foos song catalog & his writing process. Thanks Dave!

In his wickedly brilliant first novel, Debut Dagger Award winner Alan Bradley introduces one of the most singular and engaging heroines in recent fiction: Eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison. It is the summer of 1950 - and a series of inexplicable events has struck Buckshaw, the decaying English mansion that Flavia’s family calls home. A dead bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. Hours later, Flavia finds a man lying in the cucumber patch and watches him as he takes his dying breath.

I love everything about it. The story is intriguing without being too scary. Flavia may be my all-time favorite heroine- wishing this series would go on forever.

Love this novel. I sincerely hope the authors are working feverishly on a next installment! The tie ins to Sherlock Holmes "life story" are so clever. Mycroft has his own Watson in Cyrus Douglas and they are a formidable pair!

This national best seller is an entertaining, informative, and sometimes shocking expose of the way history is taught to American students. Lies My Teacher Told Me won the American Book Award and the Oliver Cromwell Cox Award for Distinguished Anti-Racist Scholarship.
