Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in Three Pines. Though the tiny Québec village is impossible to find on any map, someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide at the Sûreté, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. Reine-Marie watches with increasing unease as her husband refuses to pick up, though he clearly knows who is on the other end. When he finally answers, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.

One of her best books yet
Revisado: 11-12-24
The book is a "page turner", with vivid character development that kept me guessing who could be trusted. Really liked the integration of prior story settings and characters, and the international search for the truth. The narrator was awesome, with his Quebequois accent. I look forward to the next book.

Once described by The Washington Post as "the most interesting mayor you've never heard of", Pete Buttigieg, the 36-year-old Democratic mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has improbably emerged as one of the nation's most visionary politicians. First elected in 2011, Buttigieg left a successful business career to move back to his hometown, previously tagged by Newsweek as a "dying city", and transformed it into a shining model of urban reinvention.

I found his story to be captivating and inspirational. He represents one of the best and most positive forces of his Millennial generation to lead this Nation in the future. His multi-faceted character and backgroun (well educated and intelligent/articulate/witty/empathetic/humble , Mayor of a medium size midwest city, religious, military vet and Navy reservist,son of an immigrant, and gay) seems to belie his age.. I recommend this book to everyone; esp. those who want to learn about one of the brightest up and coming political stars.

In 1886 New York, a respectable architect shouldn't have any connection to the notorious gang of thieves and killers that rules the underbelly of the city. But when John Cross' son racks up an unfathomable gambling debt to Kent's Gents, Cross must pay it back himself. All he has to do is use his inside knowledge of high society mansions and museums to craft a robbery even the smartest detectives won't solve. The take better include some cash, too - the bigger the payout, the faster this will be over.

Stellar story and narration
Revisado: 03-31-18
I loved the adeptly narrated and carefully crafted plot of a respectable architect and his high society family drawn to a life of crime; development of high and low class characters living in late 1800s New York City interwoven with descriptions of both The urban landscape and detailed architectural features.

She's never taught a class in her life. But when the City of Chicago calls on blind writer Beth Finke to teach a memoir-writing class for older adults, she reluctantly agrees. What she learns about her students, their stories, and herself will move and inspire you. Written the way Beth hears life, you will come to know and love Minerva, Wanda, Hannelore, and the whole colorful cast of characters who build a community around Beth's classes. Generously sprinkled with excerpts in her students' own voices, Beth's book will convince you to get your own stories down on paper.

Smiling, Laughing, and Crying out Loud
Revisado: 11-20-17
Beth Finke’s Latest book is a collection of short stories that run the gamut of emotions from A to Z. Every chapter is a gemstone of humanity, authored and carefully polished too it’s Ultimate luster by Ms. Finke or one of her students from her “Me, Myself and I“ Writers Workshops. The book is beautifully narrated by Robin Sitten, Who occasionally uses subtle foreign and regional accents to add additional depth to
Some of the characters. Upon the release of “Writing Out Loud”, it rose to the top of my reading list. After 4 hours of nonstop listening I had to take a break only to say thank you to Ms. Finke for a fascinating and inspirational book. If I lived in Chicago I would sign up for her memoir writing workshop!
