In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

Shocking news reaches them—an old friend has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing. The gang's search leads them into the antiques business, where the tricks of the trade are as old as the objects themselves. As they encounter drug dealers, art forgers, and online fraudsters—as well as heartache close to home—Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim have no idea whom to trust.

The choices we make as we age are described with care and understanding. I plan to read the whole series again to pickup all the bitxx as I missed.

Mark Clague brilliantly weaves together the stories of the song and the nation it represents. Examining the origins of both text and music, alternate lyrics and translations, and the song’s use in sports, at times of war, and for political protest, he argues that the anthem’s meaning reflects—and is reflected by—the nation’s quest to become a more perfect union. From victory song to hymn of sacrifice and vehicle for protest, the story of Key’s song is the story of America itself.

I learned how little I knew about the Star Spangled Banner
Revisado: 08-14-22
This book is a deep dive into the anthem and, if like me, you aren’t familiar with music terminology, the book may drag in parts. I wish the music references could have been part of the audio book.
The narrator is clumsy and mispronounced many words. His voice is pleasant but he needed some coaching on pronunciation.

Snow is a rarity in Maura Donovan's small village in County Cork, Ireland, so she wasn't sure what to expect when a major snowstorm rolled in around Sullivan's pub. But now she's stranded in a bar full of patrons - and a suspected killer in a long-ago murder. Maura's been in Ireland less than a year and hasn't heard about the decades-old unsolved crime that took place nearby, let alone the infamous suspect, Diane Caldwell.

Cruel is Right
Revisado: 02-19-19
The concept of the story was interesting and I was listening to it while in the middle of a snowstorm. It should have been ideal. But although I have enjoyed the earlier books, I am frustrated that the main character. She just doesn't seem to mature.
Will she ever stop having inner dialogues? Will Maura review the plot line one more time? Must she go on about being accepted? Will she ever learn to think properly and not just ask a series of questions? The questions, the questions...If I had a print copy I would have counted them. Surely there is a better way to move the plot and to develop the character.

Hi Bob, so glad you did this!

No only do can you learn about Bob Newhart and how his career began, but there are quite wonderful insights about the other comedians in the audible original. Will Ferrett worked as a bank teller. It was a great listen!
