Death and the conjuror5/29/2023 When the investigation dovetails into that of an apparently-impossible theft, the detectives consider the possibility that the two transgressions are related. As he and the Inspector interview the colorful cast of suspects among the psychiatrist's patients and household, they uncover no shortage of dark secrets―or motives for murder. Spector has a knack for explaining the inexplicable, but even he finds that there is more to this mystery than meets the eye. For who better to make sense of the impossible than one who traffics in illusions? Stumped by the confounding scene, the Scotland Yard detective on the case calls on retired stage magician-turned-part-time sleuth Joseph Spector. There are no clues, no witnesses, and no evidence of the murder weapon. In 1930s London, celebrity psychiatrist Anselm Rees is discovered dead in his locked study, and there seems to be no way that a killer could have escaped unseen. A magician-turned-sleuth in pre-war London solves three impossible crimes.

Too Many Cooks by Rex Stout5/29/2023 Before he died, it seems, Felix Vodyanov was linked to a passenger ferry that sank in 1994, an even earlier U.S. But the hints of other crimes Tempe’s identification uncovers, particularly crimes against children, spur her on to redouble her efforts despite the new M.E.’s splenetic outbursts. Heavner isn’t exactly mollified when Tempe, aided by retired police detective Skinny Slidell and a host of experts, puts a name to the dead man. Nettled by several errors in Heavner’s analysis, and even more by her willingness to share the gory details at a press conference, Tempe launches her own investigation, which is not so much off the books as against the books. Showboat Medical Examiner Margot Heavner makes it clear that, breaking with her department’s earlier practice ( The Bone Collection, 2016, etc.), she has no intention of calling in Tempe as a consultant and promptly identifies the faceless body herself as that of a young Asian man. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.Ī week after the night she chases but fails to catch a mysterious trespasser outside her town house, some unknown party texts Tempe four images of a corpse that looks as if it’s been chewed by wild hogs, because it has been. Love Unexpected by Jody Hedlund5/29/2023 This book reminded me that "sweet" (even Christian) books can be so much more rewarding in terms of relationship development, and the kind of pining (emotional AND physical) that I really love to read in romance books. I've been listening to a lot of sexual explicit books lately, and so much of the time they fall short for me in the emotional build up department. Read moreĪ sweet, easily digested story that, even at just nine hours listening time, seemed to be stretched out a good hour or so longer than was really necessary.

Flirting in italian by lauren henderson5/28/2023 The ending hints at the possibility of further drama.-Sharon Grover, Hedberg Public Library, Janesville, WI The sequel doesn't really stand on its own, but girls who enjoyed the thrilling excitement of the first novel will doubtless want to know the outcome of the romance. Adult figures are flat, and the portrayal of the teen characters is stereotypical-particularly the Italian boys. After a great deal of teen angst and backbiting, as well as subplots that come out of nowhere, Violet discovers her ancestry, and love ultimately triumphs. A romantic development between the main character and Luca began in the first book, causing some confusion in this sequel, because "something" happened to thwart the course of their true love. In search of this information, Violet is spending the summer with three other teenage girls, theoretically learning about Italian culture and language but, in fact, learning more about Italian boys. Gr 8 Up-Violet continues the journey she began in Flirting in Italian (Delacorte, 2012), hoping to discover why she looks nothing like either of her parents and exactly like the portrait of an 18th-century Italian noblewoman.

She knows them, she works with them, she trains them. James doesn't have time for rookie hotshots who think their gloves don't stink. So why does one of the Suns' ice girls treat him like he's invisible? Bo St. As the best player in his rookie class and the number-one draft pick of the Malibu Suns, he's taking his game to the next level and is justifiably full of swagger. On the ice or off, he's never had any trouble scoring, racking up goals-and girls. Winning has always come naturally for stud ice hockey defenseman Gus "the Bus" Persson. The immortals of meluha kindle5/28/2023 I mentioned about this book once to a friend of mine in India. Perhaps Indian authors are not too keen on marketing outside India. I was a bit surprised that “NO.1 national best seller” in India was not even heard of in Europe or US. It wasn’t available in any stores in Brussels either. However the ebook version was not available in amazon or any website yet (not sure why!). I didn’t buy it immediately though as I thought I’d buy kindle version of it for I don’t have to carry loads of books anymore after I bought Kindle. I was fascinated instantly with the title and the cover page of “The immortals of meluha”. While wandering in Mumbai airport, I stepped into a bookstall to kill some time. The oath frank peretti5/28/2023 Half way into the book, I’m intrigued to uncover exactly what is going on in The Oath, surely I must be getting close to the big reveal….having read this far there was no way I could rest without getting to the bottom of this mysterious storyline. In fact there didn’t seem to be anything remotely spiritual going on. There are no angelic conversations and battles with demons going on in the spiritual realm of everyday life in an open and transparent human-like way. If you’ve read Frank Peretti’s This Present Darkness or Piercing The Darkness you will probably be thrown a little with The Oath. The Oath was a hefty hardback book, and not quick at getting to the crux of the story.Ī small town seems to be harbouring a big scary secret that nobody dares talk about there’s a thick fog of fear hovering over everyone in this town, but why? |
