Historia
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.

Lissie is a nurse in a gritty, hectic London neighborhood.

hearing her tell her own story with such candor, warmth, humility and humor was so beautiful. She is exactly the down to earth, pragmatic, funny beautiful person she appears to be on her show. She would always be one of the "10 guests at your dinner table" fantasy dinner party. This is one of the few books I have in hard copy as well as Audible, with copies will be worn with repeated reads and listens.

I can't even finish this!
Revisado: 08-29-23
I have loved the other novels of Taylor, but I can't get thru this one. I don't like Carrie, I feel no love for her at all, I find nothing redeeming about the character, I can't root for her. I pretty much love anything that Julia Wheelan narrates so I was looking forward to this one, but she is not the main narrator, as a matter of fact I can't determine which character she IS narrating. the rest of the narrators, including the main read stiff and sound very amateur. I am not Hispanic and yet I can't help but take offense to the dialect the narrator uses. I'm sorry...but I cant find anything redeeming in this story, nor the storytelling. I'm returning this title!

I couldn't finish this
Revisado: 05-14-21
I tried to but I couldn't finish this book. The story is creepy and made me feel "icky." I could never get behind the female lead because it was not plausible that she would even fall for this kind of torture. She is portrayed as a smart successful woman and without any insight or struggle at all, she "helplessly" falls prey to her tormentor. The story felt contrived and very one dimensional. I think this could have been a very intriguing storyline but in my opinion the author missed the mark. It felt like a very "green" author, perhaps a debut novel. Upon further research, I found that this was the case.

Historia
Nina once bought into the idea that her fancy liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling career. When that dream crashed, she turned to stealing from rich kids in LA alongside her wily Irish boyfriend, Lachlan. Nina learned from the best: Her mother was the original con artist, hustling to give her daughter a decent childhood despite their wayward life. But when her mom gets sick, Nina puts everything on the line to help her, even if it means running her most audacious, dangerous scam yet.

I needed to change speed to more of a mindless, non heavy subject matter. This book fit the bill! it was fast paced, and even though I "sort of" had it figured out about half way thru, it still had some good twists and turns. I highly recommend!

Historia
Mo Rocca has always loved obituaries - reading about the remarkable lives of global leaders, Hollywood heavyweights, and innovators who changed the world. But not every notable life has gotten the send-off it deserves. His quest to right that wrong inspired Mobituaries, his number one hit podcast. Now with Mobituaries, the audiobook, he has gone much further, with all new essays on artists, entertainers, sports stars, political pioneers, founding fathers, and more. Even if you know the names, you’ve never understood why they matter...until now.

The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar, or a parking lot, or at the grocery store. His identity is unknown. His motives are unclear. His information is undeniable. Then he whispers a few words in your ear and disappears, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world.

As good as the made for TV movie.
Revisado: 02-25-21
I realised about 2 chapters into this, that I recognised the story. This was made into a 6 part British TV series. The story was really good on TV and I enjoyed the book just as much. Great crime story, interesting characters, nicely tied up at the end. Nothing too heavy just a good solid mystery. Highly recommend this book.

Maybe it's me but I can't get thru the narration
Revisado: 02-13-21
I really want to like this book I'm only down to about 4 hours left and am really struggling to finish it. I think the narration is what's bugging me. I really enjoy the history of learning about Cuba and Castro and all the historical aspects, but I think the story (for me) is lost in the translation.
I think the narrator makes it sound like a cheesy Harlequin romance book. I don't mind the way that it transitions back-and-forth between the past and the present it just feels very smarmy and I am losing the history of the story. Al finish because I hate having things unfinished but I am actually very bored with this book.
