Anyone growing up in Lobelia Falls is taught to learn the elegant, ancient, and occasionally deadly art of shooting with a bow and arrow. Practicing the craft, freelance secretary Dittany Henbit is strolling through the woods with her bow at her side when she meets a surveyor making surveys where he shouldn't. Dittany is giving him what-for when an arrow goes whizzing above her head. It is sharp enough to kill, and was not fired by accident, but Dittany wasn't the target.

Everything a cosy should be - good puzzle, wonderful characters and setting. I highly recommend this story.

Archie Goodwin’s very good friend Lily Rowan spends much of her time helping women in need, from underpaid workers to mistreated wives. But at the moment she’s particularly concerned about one woman: her best friend, Maureen, a beautiful socialite who’s been incommunicado for two weeks. After Archie helps Lily comb through Maureen’s deserted Park Avenue penthouse, and Lily contacts each of her friend’s well-heeled suitors, they still don’t know much more than when they started. Then Archie tries to track down Maureen’s estranged half-brother, but he seems to have vanished as well.

Just as good as the originals
Revisado: 01-01-24
I always dislike continuations of series (Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, etc), but Goldsboro has done a perfect job in capturing the original tone of Wolfe and Archie. A pleasure to meet with old friends again.

East Sussex, 1914. It is the end of England's brief Edwardian summer, and everyone agrees that the weather has never been so beautiful. Hugh Grange, down from his medical studies, is visiting his aunt Agatha, who lives with her husband in the small, idyllic coastal town of Rye. Agatha's husband works in the Foreign Office, and she is certain he will ensure that the recent saber rattling over the Balkans won't come to anything.

Exquisite
Revisado: 10-28-19
I loved the carefully drawn picture of English village life before the unspeakable atrocities of war, how they cope with their losses, and survive to carry on. I wish I had the words to describe how this story moved me.

When George Abbershaw is invited to Black Dudley Manor for the weekend, he has only one thing on his mind - proposing to Meggie Oliphant. Unfortunately for George, things don't quite go according to plan. A harmless game turns decidedly deadly and suspicions of murder take precedence over matrimony. Trapped in a remote country house with a murderer, George can see no way out. But Albert Campion can.

Not her best effort
Revisado: 02-08-15
I was looking for Marsh's typical witty dialogue, interesting mystery twists. This doesn't have it, at all. It is just an apparent crime, and how a group of people held hostage attempt to get away. No mystery at all.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

So depressing!
Revisado: 01-04-14
What would have made The Goldfinch better?
If the "protagonist" would have possessed better decision-making skills.
Has The Goldfinch turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yes!
What didn’t you like about David Pittu’s performance?
It wasn't his fault the script was so negative.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I do understand there are probably people in the world who are equally unfortunate.
Any additional comments?
You'll need a prescription for Prozac after reading this stinker.
