![]() It's hard for me to say 100% how I feel about this book due to the bait and switch with the narrator. In a novel that challenges as much as it thrills, filled with the astonishing tension and unseen suburban machinations that have become Coben's trademark, Caught tells the story of a missing girl, the community stunned by her loss, the predator who may have taken her, and the reporter who suddenly realizes she can't trust her own instincts about this story - or the motives of the people around her. ![]() Dan Mercer is a social worker known as a friend to troubled teens, but his story soon becomes more complicated than Wendy could have imagined. Working with local police on her news program Caught in the Act, Wendy and her team have publicly shamed dozens of men by the time she encounters her latest target. Wendy Tynes is a reporter on a mission, to identify and bring down sexual predators via elaborate and nationally televised sting operations. Which is why, when her mother wakes one morning to find that Haley never came home the night before, and three months quickly pass without word from the girl, the community assumes the worst. Seventeen-year-old Haley McWaid is a good girl, the pride of her suburban New Jersey family, captain of the lacrosse team, headed off to college next year with all the hopes and dreams her doting parents can pin on her. From the number-one New York Times best-selling master of suspense comes a fast-paced, emotion-packed novel about guilt, grief, and our capacity to forgive. ![]()

The Murder Complex is one of the best debut novels out there this summer. The writing is clear and precise while still being intense. The dual point of view helped moved the story along and was done perfectly. There is murder and there is understandably death she is descriptive striking the reader straight inside their hearts without being too graphic. What I love most is the way Cummings deals with the topic that is completely in tune with the YA genre. It is utterly impossible to put this book down! I found myself outside for hours just reading The Murder Complex completely ignoring everything around me. The plot is well written and packed with suspense and tension. Needless to say, each character is interesting and mysterious is in their own way. He often wakes up surrounded by bodies and blood on his hands with only scattered memories of the night before. Zephyr James, an orphan, is assigned to clean up the dead. ![]() Meadow Woodson is a survivor and will do anything to keep her family safe. What circumstances would possibly lead our world to turn this way? The answer is frightening and awesomely dark. She creates a believably horrifying future where the murder rate is higher than the birth rate. Lindsay Cummings' debut novel is incredible. ![]() ![]() ![]() We don\’t even get to the body until ten chapters in. But so much time is wasted with all the other distractions. That\’s what I loved about this series back when it was strong, and that\’s what continues to carry it. This book is at its best when it goes back to basics - Marino being a detective, Scarpetta doing forensics, Benton profiling, and Lucy doing her tech thing. Self-absorbed much, Kay? And again, yet another unbelievable conspiracy against Scarpetta and everyone associated with her. Then interspersed with that we get more feverish poor-me-what-to-do-about-Marino crap. No doubt this was Cornwell\’s way of dealing with the tragedy, but to me it just seemed self-absorbed and completely unnecessary to this story. First of all, I was flabbergasted at how disingenuously Cornwell inserted Scarpetta onto the scene in Newtown. But as I read the first 9 chapters of this one, I was thinking it was time for Kay to retire. I\’ve read every Scarpetta novel, even during the \”lost years\” before Cornwell got her groove back. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Simone, Winter’s young business partner and friend, is locked and loaded and Winter is her target.

Brief Summary of Book: Life After Death (The Coldest Winter Ever, #2) by Sister Souljah ![]() ![]() ![]() One former Cabinet Minister urged the pair to just stay home and skip King Charles' coronation on May 6 after watching the docuseries. Several individuals, including former politicians, senior military figures and respected historians reacted to " Harry & Meghan," which debuted Thursday. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do not deserve to witness King Charles' coronation, according to former politicians. Lady Antonia Fraser hoped the Sussexes would not come because she wanted the spotlight on the king and queen. ![]() David Mellor agreed that the Sussexes should skip the coronation because they sold the royal family to the media.Iain Duncan Smith said if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dislike the royal family, they should not attend the coronation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the classes they study a text called Nina in Siberia, in which a girl named Nina is mysteriously abandoned by her partner, also called Ivan. She also meets, but barely speaks to, a handsome Hungarian man named Ivan. Selin signs up for Russian language classes, where she meets and befriends a Yugoslavian woman, Svetlana. She is also culturally naive she is a virgin, does not drink, and does not understand dance music or parties. The classes she does go to, including linguistics and philosophy of language courses, fail to satisfy her. The early sections of the novel deal with Selin’s difficulties at Harvard, and her sense of herself as an outsider: she fails to make it into the university orchestra, and does not get first choice of the classes she wants to attend. She is moving out of her mother’s house, who is separated from Selin’s father, and the novel begins as Selin moves into a student dormitory with two other girls, Hannah and Angela. It is the early 1990s, and Selin Karadağ, an 18-year-old Turkish-American, is starting her first year as a student of linguistics at Harvard University.

According to her friends, she has to pick one of the other so she can join either the YMCA or the Jewish Community Center. ![]() Her mother is Christian and her father is Jewish. Margaret has questions about religion, questions that can’t easily be answered. Margaret has other important things on her mind beyond growing out of a training bra and needing a box of Kotex. Together they gossip, talk about boys, wonder when they’ll get their periods and practice breast development exercises, chanting, “We must, we must, we must increase our bust.” She soon befriends three girls: Nancy, Gretchen and Janie. She’s worried about starting a new school, making friends and other assorted growing pains. She’s 12 years old and just moved to suburban New Jersey. And that’s why one of my favorite books is her 1970 classic Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Blume didn’t sugar-coat these difficulties nor did she patronize the reader. But most of all Blume’s characters dealt with the difficulties of growing up: physically, emotionally and mentally. Blume’s characters dealt with divorce, death, family strife, religion, sex, bullying and peer pressure. Where would generations of women be without Judy Blume? Sure, some people wanted to ban her books, but I loved Judy Blume because she wrote about characters I could actually relate to. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thomas Heywood, in An Apology for Actors (1612), attributed The Spanish Tragedy to “M. All of the early editions of the play are anonymous, despite Kyd being alive for the 1592 (and possibly the 1594) edition. The Spanish Tragedy entered the Stationer’s Register in 1592 and quarto one was printed in the same year. It’s also one of the earliest English revenge tragedies. It is a difficult play to date and scholars usually give a date range between 15 for the play’s composition. The Spanish Tragedy, or Hieronimo is Mad Again is an Elizabethan tragedy written by Thomas Kyd. A few weeks ago, I mentioned that one of my favourite early modern tragedies was Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy and I thought I’d do a whole post about it today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At the height of her fame, Janis's life is a whirlwind of public adoration and hard living.
