The author captures emotion so well! I loved this book and would definitely recommend it. I wish there was a sequel.

This audio selection contains 6 short stories by P.D. James. Each story is wonderfully plotted and the reader, Dan Weyman, is clear and easy to listen to. This is a plus in audio books. Murders with a few twists for a winter's night listening!

4 stars for an easy fun read. Jimm Juree is an ex journalist living with her family at the southern end of Thailand on the Gulf of Thailand coast. Her mother sold their family home in Chang Mai and purchased a run down 5 cabin bungalow guest hotel. Jimm is out walking their 2 dogs on the beach when one of them discovers a head. She tells her grandad. The police are notified. But they turn the head over to the SRM(Southern Rescue Mission Foundation) a scam charity. Jimm thinks that something is strange and begins to investigate. She also has to deal with 2 mysterious guests, who pay in cash, give false names, and have removed license plates from their car. There are some laugh out loud lines in this book of quirky characters. Grandad is a retired traffic policeman. Jimm has a transgender sister who is a tech whiz. She also has fearsome looking brother, Arny, who is actually a gentle shy man, in love with a body builder woman older than his mother. How this group of characters solve the case of the head makes for a pleasnt story as they navigate the complicated issues of police/government corruption and incompetence. The author bio states that he was born in London, and has worked as a teacher in Israel, Australia, U.S. and Japan, before moving to Thailand. He dedicated this book to the lounge singers and karaoke singers of Thailand who bravely attack English songs phonetically without suffering the inconvenience of meaning. One quote: "It's been a Hard Day's Night, I should be Sleeping on Kellogg's" This was a library book.

This is a short story follow up to the first Victor the assassin book. Shows a vulnerable human side to Victor only to end badly for him. Looking forward to future reads

Dreadfully boring and predictable. The protagonist was wimpy and insipid. The plot was unimpressive, dull, and pointless. This book seemed to be more about the trials of being a waitress than anything else.

I went into this not knowing anything about Judaism, and it was worth it. It is a bit of a long read, and certain parts can be rather drawn out. But overall, Hurwitz does an admirable work in condensing a whole religion, it's text and traditions, into an enjoyable read. No matter your level of knowledge on Judaism or religion in general, Hurwitz will teach something new.

Michael Bennett has his hands full with his own family - now he has to protect another family.

I recommend this book to white readers looking for a starting point in their education about anti-black racism and our role in it. I'm sure there are many other excellent points of entry, but for me, this is a great start for a person trying to understand our bias a white people. This reads a little like a text book, which makes the content easy to read.

This book is TERRIFYING. I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend!!

This book was #2 in the series that I previously reviewed. It was a very good book that was hard to put down. I love reading a series because it continues on a story but has its own plot. I would recommend this book.
