This was to be her last day alive. The renowned criminal psychologist Ira Samin prepared her suicide thoroughly. The death of her eldest daughter had weighed too heavily on her conscience for her to carry on and she yearned for one last drink to raise a toast to oblivion. Her morbid plans are interrupted and she is called in to negotiate a gruesome hostage situation at a radio station where a psychopath is playing a morbid game.

With no police to investigate and no escape, could it be the perfect setting for a crime? Martin Schwartz (Beesley) is an undercover detective who is recovering from his wife and sons' bizarre disappearance from a cruise ship 5 years ago. He is a desperate man willing to take big risks. Martin never wanted to step onto a cruise ship again until he receives a call which can't be ignored. On average, 23 people per year disappear without a trace from cruise ships. Never before has someone come back... until now.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 51
From Afghanistan's Hindu Kush peaks and sunbaked Helmand Valley to Baghdad, Mosul and Ramadi in Iraq, American snipers have braved heart-pounding situations to hit their human targets dead-on. Few military feats stir the imagination like the image of a pair of riflemen waiting quietly in a building, a bomb crater, or a mountain pass for a Taliban or Al Qaeda fighter to walk into their crosshairs. Sniper presents real-life tales from the military's frontline snipers---their hits and their misses, the anguish of loss, and the anxiety of the first kill.

Would you try another book from Gina Cavallaro and Matt Larsen and/or Jo Anna Perrin and Johnny Heller ?
The book had some good information, but wasn't really a story. The narration was horrible!!I struggled through half of the book and then had to give up. Couldn't even finish.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
As I said there were some interesting facts and accounts of sniper activity, but it was jumbled up and delivered horribly
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Absolutely
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Pain

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

The purpose of this book is? Boring!!!!
Revisado: 10-25-12
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Maybe in England
Has The Casual Vacancy turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
Did Tom Hollander do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
He was fine, it was the story.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Casual Vacancy?
Do you also want to know my shoe size? Give up already. I'm not an editor and I just didn't enjoy the book

At the urging of his wife, Elizabeth, the Duke of York (known to the royal family as "Bertie") began to see speech therapist Lionel Logue in a desperate bid to cure his lifelong stammer. Little did the two men know that this unlikely friendship - between a future monarch and a commoner born in Australia - would ultimately save the House of Windsor from collapse.
