Historia
November 1958: the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Into the rarefied atmosphere of wealth and tradition comes the most unlikely of horses - a drab white former plow horse named Snowman - and his rider, Harry de Leyer. They were the longest of all longshots - and their win was the stuff of legend.

Historia
Spencer Quinn’s first original audio short story reveals how everyone’s favorite detective duo - Chet the Dog and P.I. Bernie Little - came to meet before their first big case in Dog On It. As fans know, Chet first met Bernie on that fateful day when he flunked out of K-9 police school. The details of that day, though, have always remained a little vague (like so much in Chet’s doggy brain). All we know is that Chet had been the best leaper in his K-9 class, but for some reason he failed his final leaping test...and that a cat was involved...and that there was some blood. But whose?

How Chet and Bernie met
Revisado: 05-22-24
This is how that wonderful partnership between Chet, the great narrator dog, and his favorite human, Bernie Littlte, the PI, got started. This is the beginning of a remarkable friendship which will last over many books, lots of laughs and a couple of tears. Follow them!

Ms Travers does not disappoint with this second volume devoted to Maud, Daisy and the mysterious Lord Arteck. The cast of supporting characters and the necessary villain comprise a fun assortment of Scottish turn of the century prejudices. discovery of modern improvements to free women from household drudgeries and the vagaries of the younger generation to break away from their parents.

An Eoxciting Romp
Revisado: 04-08-24
I chose this novel because it looked like a fun cosy mystery! I have COVID and I sought a diversion, for sure, bur much, more.. In the tradition of J. Winstear et al., Maud and Daisy are very smart, inventive and modern as they solve a trio of interrelated cases, while still remaining utterly feminine. A great read!

Revisado: 04-03-24
Charlie really thought he was very smart. He was smart, but not smart. I liked when he was not always correct about who the murderer was. He was humble and contrite often. Very human! He also loved Diesel, his big Main Coon cat, as I loved my big Maine Coon, Cagney.

Historia
The world of ancient Egypt springs magnificently to life in this astonishing historical novel of love, war, political intrigue, and religious revolution. Told from the first-person point of view, it is the story of Sinuhe, physician to the royal court of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and his successors in the middle of the tumultuous 14th century B.C. From his exalted position, Sinuhe was able to observe and participate in some of the most intimate and important decisions that affected the powerful Egyptian kingdom of the 18th Dynasty during a very troubled period of its history.

HISTORY TEACHES US THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION
Revisado: 02-17-24
I love History: Egyptian, Greece, Rome and the years of Alezander the Great.I don"/ care for the Middle Ages because Church kept common people illiterate andbound as serfs and warrior nobles.
This novel is replete with interesting fact and flights of fancy. Though long, I enjoyed every word and story

Historia
Alexander McCall Smith’s No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series has become a worldwide phenomenon thanks to the appeal of endearing protagonist Precious Ramotswe and the author’s charmingly quirky prose. In this 13th installment, Mma Ramotswe’s attention is focused on a pesky disciplinary problem at her adopted daughter’s school - while Grace Makutsi adjusts to wedded bliss and the famed Clovis Andersen arrives in Botswana looking for more than bush tea.

The best book so far in the series.
Revisado: 08-06-22
These are real problems that affect the lives of each character in the book. 0ne gets a real appreciation for Botswana and for the philosophical underpinings of the people. The book is full of kindness and practical common sense. Above all the author wants to show respect for the country. Considering the problems we face in the US today nI would like to recommend this book to our politicians and our citizens. THANK YOU MR. MCCALL-SMITH!
