In the summer of 1974 a heatwave blankets Boston and Mary Pat Fennessey is trying to stay one step ahead of the bill collectors. Mary Pat has lived her entire life in the projects of “Southie,” the Irish American enclave that stubbornly adheres to tradition and stands proudly apart. One night Mary Pat’s teenage daughter Jules stays out late and doesn’t come home. That same evening, a young Black man is found dead, struck by a subway train under mysterious circumstances. Mary Pat, propelled by a desperate search for her daughter, begins turning over stones best left untouched.

Very good read by the ever-interesting Dennis Lehane. The unique city of Boston plays important roles in his books and is another character in his stories. Small Mercies is is set during the 1970's bussing crisis. Fascinating stuff. This one has a female protagonist, which is a real treat for me. Mary Pat is true to herself and I love her. Yes, I shed a tear.
The reader is top notch and really enhanced the storyline. I plan on listening to more Audible books that she has narrated.

Back when Harry Bosch was just a rookie homicide detective, he had an inspiring mentor who taught him to take the work personally and light the fire of relentlessness for every case. Now that mentor, John Jack Thompson, is dead, but after his funeral his widow hands Bosch a murder book that Thompson took with him when he left the LAPD 20 years before - the unsolved killing of a troubled young man in an alley used for drug deals.

In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: "She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her." The target in their sights was Virginia Hall, a Baltimore socialite who talked her way into Special Operations Executive, the spy organization dubbed Winston Churchill's "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." She became the first Allied woman deployed behind enemy lines and - despite her prosthetic leg - helped to light the flame of the French Resistance, revolutionizing secret warfare as we know it.

An Excellent Read
Revisado: 05-21-19
This book gets my highest rating. Enthusiasts of WWII history will be dazzled by this non-fiction account of the French Resistance, and one woman in particular, who was an outright hero of the war. She was an involved leader and organizer of the resistance, and worked right under the noses of the Nazis in Vichy France for three years.
Thank you to the author for so clearly bringing this story to our attention. This was a nail biter, and this book is unforgettable.
Also enjoyable is The Nightingale, a similar French Resistance story, albeit fiction.

One of our best-loved actors, Michael Caine has starred in over 100 films in his six-decade career, spanning classic movies like Alfie, Zulu, and The Italian Job (the inspiration for the book title) to playing Alfred opposite Christian Bale's Batman in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Dark Knight trilogy. Caine has excelled in every kind of role - with a skill that's made it look easy. As he says, "Small parts can lead to big things. And if you keep doing things right, the stars will align when you least expect it."

Delightful. A fascinating in-depth look at a movie icon's life and career from his own perspective. In turn funny and poignant, with interesting life lessons for all. He came up from humble beginnings, and hasn't lost sight of that.
I've seen many of his movies over the years and now want to revisit those, as well as the many I've not seen. My personal favorite is The Man Who Would Be King directed by the great John Houston.
This Audio book read by Michael Caine himself is stellar!

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.
