Inside the walls of Arlington Hall, a former women's college in Virginia that has been taken over by the United States Army, hundreds of men and women sit, bent over stacks of paper. Pencils in hand, they labor to decode countless pieces of communication coming from the Axis powers. Justine works among them, handling the most sensitive secrets of World War II. But she isn't there to decipher German codes. She's there to find a traitor.

Evans always writes using strong & intelligent female characters. This WWII tale has lots of twists & turns that keeps you guessing till the end. Evans’ work is always impeccably researched & I always learn something new. For the audible version there were a lot of characters. I finally wrote a crib sheet to help me keep everyone straight. Highly recommend!

No appealing characters. Listened to several chapters and am going to return it. When did lying become something to be proud of?

Poorly edited. many paragraphs repeated, amateurish male voices & too disjointed. Miserable! Listened for a couple hours & finally gave up.

Cyrus Teed was a charismatic and controversial guru who at the age of thirty had been "illuminated" by an angel in his electro-alchemical laboratory. At the turn of the 20th century, surrounded by the marvels of the Second Industrial Revolution, he proclaimed himself a prophet and led 200 people out of Chicago and into a new age. Or so he promised.

Revisado: 09-01-18
The last time I read this book was in the late 50s. I think I read the entire series. Nancy was independent, smart and clever. She not only could solve mysteries but could change a tire, pick a lock and do boat repairs. This audio version was a joy with a great narration. although originally written in 1930, the story doesn't seem terribly dated. Nancy was a hero to so many!

For the last five years, James and Deborah Fallows have been traveling across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, they have met hundreds of civic leaders, workers, immigrants, educators, environmentalists, artists, public servants, librarians, businesspeople, city planners, students, and entrepreneurs to take the pulse and understand the prospects of places that usually draw notice only after a disaster or during a political campaign. The America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems, but it is also crafting solutions.

Terrific book!
Revisado: 05-11-18
Other reviews have detailed the basics of this book. However it is more than just a fascinating travelogue. The smart and articulate authors explored and researched the towns they visited to find out what worked and what didn't. The result is a study that should be read and absorbed by civic leaders, planners, economic development types as well as citizens at large.
I listened to the Audible version which was read by the authors, but was so impressed I've ordered the book also. The story of the development of the book was featured on CBS's Sunday Morning last week. A terrific read, highly recommended!

Dear Madam President is an empowering letter from former Hillary Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri to the first woman president, and by extension, to all women working to succeed in any field. By using lessons learned during her experiences with Hillary Clinton, President Obama, and Elizabeth Edwards - to name a few - Palmieri through each chapter creates a forward-thinking framework of inspirational and practical advice for all women everywhere - from boardrooms to living rooms - who are determined to seize control of their lives, their workplaces, and their country.

Palmeri wrote this to a future female president but her sage advice applies to all women trying to move forward. She talks of the changing political landscape and the events of the 2016 campaign. The book is inspirational and hopeful however. I loved It!

As a girl, Genevieve Martin spent the happiest summer of her life in Paris, learning the delicate art of locksmithing at her uncle's side. But since then, living back in the States, she has become more private, more subdued. She has been an observer of life rather than an active participant, holding herself back from those around her, including her soon-to-be ex-husband. Paris never really left Genevieve, and, as her marriage crumbles, she finds herself faced with an incredible opportunity.
