Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to give her a goodbye kiss in the morning, her kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she's always a step behind on thank-you notes and her endless list of chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and paperback fiction. At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.

The lead character is just annoying.
Revisado: 11-16-23
I didn’t really like it. I didn’t find any of the characters interesting or likable. I only made it to chapter 5 before calling it quits. The lead character is just annoying. She is not smart not competent and so profoundly naive that you just want to shake her. I’m a huge fan of mysteries so maybe this wasn’t the book for me. It might be considered horror I guess with humor. I specifically bought it because it was supposed to be funny but the humor was self deprecating and accidental. I was hoping the characters would be funny but no they weren’t. The narrator did a good job though.
However it’s possible it got a lot better after chapter 5.

Major Hastings and Hercule Poirot are not interested in the mystery of the Spanish chest, which has been reported in the papers so often that it seems to be an entirely closed case. But, when Hastings persuades Poirot to attend a fabulous party given by Lady Chatterton, they discover someone sequestered upstairs who is desperate for their help. Will the contents of a dead man's pockets reveal to the inscrutable eye of Hercule Poirot who the culprit is?

I wanted to like this story and the main girl character but as time went on I liked her less and less. She never has any sympathy or appreciation for what her mom is going through. She is self centered, and selfish not willing to do anything to help her mom accept spend some time with her sister. We are made to feel like she has this high moral stance that all adults in her life are impressed with and that her mom is uncaring and lets her make all the hard decisions. She judges her mom more harshly than anyone else in her life and she seeks to know others better than she does her own mom and sister. The sister is just a prop in this play that neither the mom or her older sister care to treat her like anything more than a noisy pet. Surely there is more to autistic children even severely autistic than what is portrayed in this book. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone. Although some people might really like it.

Great synopsis of key news topics

This daily podcast may be my favorite thing about Audible. Important news stories with just enough detail and without an agenda.

The ancient world has cast a long shadow, influencing our customs and religious beliefs, our laws, and the form of our governments. It has taught us when and how we make war or pursue peace. It has shaped the buildings we live and work in and the art we hang on our walls. It has given us the calendar that organizes our year and has left its mark on the games we play.

Great World History foundation in a very interesting style
Revisado: 10-06-17
Professor Aldrete delivers the content in a way that holds the interest of a non-student of history.
Content is dense and broken into digest
