Spider's Web
by Agatha Christie
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This was a fun, light read. If I'd paid more attention, I could have honed in on the perpetrator... :) I loved that the leading lady was known to spin tales, so, when it came down to it, the police did not believe her when she was telling the truth. Also fun is that this was adapted from a Christie play by Charles Osbourne. I'd never heard of it before~

The Lost Girls Of Willowbrook
by Ellen Marie Wiseman

book cover


Interesting read because it is based on a true story of the Willowbrook State School on Long Island which housed mentally ill, misbehaving, and girls sent there by parents who didn't want them. The abuse and neglect that took place there was appalling. Sage, the twin sister of Rosemary, is looking for her after she found out that Rosemary was placed in the school by their mother. Sage thought Rosemary was dead for 6 years. When she goes to Willowbrook, the administration thought she was Rosemary and locked her in there, too. Rosemary has been missing and the mystery is what happened to her. The story is repetitious at times and a little long, but it does keep you going in order to find out how the school was exposed.

Sociopath

I wanted this book to be so much more engaging than it was. There were parts that were laugh out loud funny and other parts that I tuned out for. It was really interesting to hear about her experience with falling in love when she met her husband - it opened my eyes to the lack of empathy and struggle with emotions.

This was interesting. The Hades and Persephone story told by the point of view of Hades. I did not like the reader.

Back To The Garden
by Laurie R. King
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Well written mystery that takes place in California on the Garderer estate. While the story has a gruesome thread of a serial killer, it focuses on the years when the estate was run as a commune & the hippie culture & celebrity visitors. It flashes back & forth to present day & the restoration of the estate where they found bones under a statue by a famous artist. Dual mystery theme & an epic saga.

First time reading this author. It started off slow but eventually picks up speed. I was a little shocked and I didn't see the end coming. I will read him again.

Discovery of Witches
by Deborah Harkness

I still love this book. Witches, vampires and demons. Rereading so that I am prepared for her new book coming out in July. This book is about Diana Bishop, a witch who is not in control of her powers and how the love a forbidden man helps her overcome her fear of what she might become.

Great plot

Silence
by Shusaku Endo

book cover


Very meditative story about faith and the lengths one will go for it. A lot of conversation on the differing perspective of worldview, and ultimately touches on the tendency to enforce belief rather than see through with compromise.
