Historia
"The Uttermost Farthing" is a mystery by R. Austin Freeman. Excerpt: Humphrey Challoner was a great savant spoiled by untimely wealth. When I knew him he had lapsed into a mere dilettante; at least, so I thought at the time, though subsequent revelations showed him in a rather different light. He had some reputation as a criminal anthropologist and had formerly been well known as a comparative anatomist, but when I made his acquaintance, he seemed to be occupied chiefly in making endless additions to the specimens in his private museum.

Waste of Reading Time
Revisado: 08-20-24
My brother loves this author. He must have better offerings. This book is dreadful. Possibly as bad a revenge tale as ever written. The reader makes things even more dreadful. I can credit her with having a pleasant voice and for reading without stumbling. But that’s all. She reads in a monotone with a soporific quality. And she seems to be unfamiliar with high school and college level writing: the reading is peppered with mispronounced words. Avoid this one. Dreadful story; dreadful reading.

Historia
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.

Wasted Time and Talent
Revisado: 09-13-21
Richly detailed, stylishly crafted, nicely performed memoir of a clone, “Never Let Me Go” is at best documentary proof of the author’s skill and imagination, and at worst, a waste of the reader’s time and the writer’s talent. I trust that both have better things to do before they are “completed.”

Historia
Peter Diamond is tasked to run security for a wedding. Seems a bit beneath his extraordinary detective talents, as well as his title as head of Bath's CID, but this isn't your run-of-the-mill ceremony: the bride and groom belong to families on opposite ends of the law - and someone is trying to sabotage the nuptials by taking out a hit on the father of the bride.

Exceeds Expectations

Lovesey never disappoints, and Confetti is no exception. Prebble’s narration is simply superb. Highly recommended.

Russia’s Attack on America
Revisado: 04-05-18
“Russian Roulette” should be essential reading for anyone who cares about democracy. With painstaking detail, the authors describe how Russia is attacking America through social media and how unethical elements of our society are supporting and reinforcing their divisive and destructive messages. The Russians are the masters of fake news, and Americans are their victims. Worse, the Russians are being cheered on by senior elected officials and their money grubbing supporters.

Another Excellent Banks Investigation
Revisado: 09-19-17
Mature Robinson. Elegant and insightful. Robinson entertains as he challenges the reader with troubling social and criminal ills, while advancing the lives of his central characters. Robinson never dips below his high fictional standards.
