Story
Is Number 67 Clarges Steet the unluckiest house in Mayfair? Every season the beau mondes of the Regency would hire a house in the heart of London’s fashionable West End at disproportionately high rent for often inferior accommodation and yet Number 67 Clarges Street, a town house complete with staff, remains vacant from year to year. Could it be that it is associated with ill luck and even death? Something must be done so that the servants of this house don’t lose their livelihood.

interesting characters with hopes and dreams coming from disadvantaged backgrounds yet reaching for the stars. I love it when they get their prize in the end. This is my kind of book. I only wish these less than 6 hour books didn't cost a full credit but am so pleased many are included audibles for members.

A good story with humor and excitement thrown in. And what a way to view art in the late 1800s! Very interesting and fun.

A good narrator held my interest through this slow starting story. I enjoyed especially the writer's insights into the Apache's beliefs and customs. at the end, I wanted a continuation.

Story
Hugh of Singleton, fourth son of a minor knight, has been educated as a clerk, usually a prelude to taking holy orders. However, feeling no certain calling despite a lively faith, he turns to the profession of surgeon, training in Paris and then hanging out his sign in Oxford. A local lord asks him to track the killer of a young woman whose bones have been found in the castle cesspit. She is identified as the impetuous missing daughter of a local blacksmith, and her young man, whom she had provoked very publicly, is in due course arrested and sentenced at the Oxford assizes.

I will seek out other books by this author and also by the reader. I loved this book, told like a story for an adult, enchanting and yet so real, I feel I know the main character and as much as he knows about the other characters as he relates his tale. I want to know more about him and how he sees the world and copes with it. He doesn't leave you with unsolved bits; definitely my kind of book.

Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

Reviewed: 10-10-20
Interesting and quite an honest portrayal of aspiring ballerinas. Had I read this, I would not have allowed my daughter 14 years in a friendless, highly competitive environment with heartless, self-serving instructors. The game is making the school look good to keep funding and dangling the impossible in front of students and parents alike for continuous tuition payments while favoring certain students and answering to no one.
I wish the author had told us who "did it" at the end but it is still a worthy read.
