True crime podcaster Trinity Scott is chasing breakout success, and her brand-new serial may get her there. Her subject is Clayton Jay Pelley. More than two decades ago, the respected family man and guidance counselor confessed to the brutal murder of teenage student Leena Rai. But why he killed her has always been a mystery. In a series of exclusive interviews from prison, Clayton discloses to Trinity the truth about what happened that night beneath Devil’s Bridge. It’s not what anyone in the Pacific Northwest town of Twin Falls expects.

Overwrought and over complicated
Revisado: 01-03-25
This book tries to be about everything: racism, bullying, sexual perversion, voyeurism, addiction etc etc and the result is a melodramatic mess that is exacerbated by the overwrought narration.

If you haven’t had the misfortune of dating a George, you know someone who has. He’s a young man brimming with potential but incapable of following through; sweet yet noncommittal to his long-suffering girlfriend; distant from but still reliant on his mother; charmingly funny one minute, sullenly brooding the next. Here, Kate Greathead paints one particular, unforgettable George in a series of droll and surprisingly poignant snapshots of his life over two decades.

Lots of potential, little payoff
Revisado: 10-24-24
I kept comparing this book to Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow - an engaging, well written coming of age story following an awkward, perhaps brilliant, definitely flawed young man from childhood to middle age - and unfortunately it pales with that comparison. Like the character namesake, the story of George was enjoyable, at times funny & poignant but ultimately transient and forgettable.

After 25 years in the Chicago police force and a bruising divorce, he just wants to build a new life in a pretty spot with a good pub where nothing much happens. But when a local kid whose brother has gone missing arm-twists him into investigating, Cal uncovers layers of darkness beneath his picturesque retreat, and starts to realize that even small towns shelter dangerous secrets.

Miserable story, atrocious narrator
Revisado: 03-25-23
The only thing interesting about this book is the king Lear analogy. I suffered through over 20 hours of a breathy sing-song narrator waiting for something to happen. Skip it!

Historical crumbles on a harlequin sundae
Revisado: 01-23-23
For the life of me I can’t figure out why people love this book so much. Maybe my negative reaction stems from the fact that I was listening about the woman in Moscow while reading about the gentleman and Amor Towles is just a far better writer and storyteller? Either way, I found myself repeatedly put off by the simplistic and lazy writing (I lost track of the “anyway” transitions) and the forced and corny dialog (like something out of Turner Classic Movies: “say there bub!”). Meanwhile, the characters are little more than tropes (flashy Ruth vs demure Iris reminiscent of Scarlett vs Melanie) and there are far too many whirlwind romances and loves at first site. Not to mention hundreds of pages of set up (with far more talk of taffeta than tradecraft) that gets a deus ex machina resolution within the span of one chapter, via a character introduced at the 11th hour, with a big twist you can see from a mile away. So unsatisfying.
