When Ellison's friend Kay Morrison visits Kansas City from New York, there are certain women who turn green with envy. After all, Kay works in the fashion industry, she actually attended the Battle of Versailles, and her clothes are to die for. Maybe literally. Ellison is convinced someone is trying to kill her friend. Kay is convinced that finding too many bodies has made Ellison paranoid. Both of them are right. Can Ellison catch a killer before it's too late?

I think Anarchy's family needs another appearance. Maybe Ellison could get Oscar out of a murder rap?

Love comes to Libba
Reviewed: 05-27-24
I loved the family and friends dynamics. Ellison, Anarchy, and Grace grow stronger as they welcome Beau into their lives. Libba does some serious soul searching and grows. Karma moves to KC and adds a new dimension to the relationships.

In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees in Sussex when a young woman literally stumbles onto him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern, twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

Mary Russell becomes a protégé of the great Sherlock Holmes . I have been a fan of the renowned detective since elementary school. Thanks to Holmes, I was never stumped at Hangman. This intro to Holmes and Russell's collaboration allowed me to continue to enjoy the Great Detective.

From celebrated New York Times best-selling author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize Rick Bragg comes a poignant and wryly funny collection of essays on life in the South. Keenly observed and written with his insightful and deadpan sense of humor, Bragg explores enduring Southern truths about home, place, spirit, table, and the regions' varied geographies, including his native Alabama, Cajun country, and the Gulf Coast.

Neutrality
Reviewed: 05-15-22
I have listened to The Devouring three times- I'm current on the series. This book was the hardest to read and to listen to. The Nazis exterminated millions of Jews- there is no defense for what they did. The Devouring showed that other people were also targeted and no one cared, in fact there were individuals and industries that aided in the destruction. There is no such thing as neutrality.
