In 1982, the famous paranormal expert Grant Peters went missing while filming his TV show Legendary Australia. His wife, Melissa, was never able to find him. When Melissa herself disappears nearly 40 years later, her daughter, Fiona, and grandson Ethan trace her to the small outback town of Boulia. There they discover a collection of old audio tapes that Melissa left behind: a set of clues they must follow if they’re to solve this mystery in time.

Good science fiction story marred by uneven mixing and editing. Recommend re mixing and re issue.

So so story

Rather a dragging story even with the murder in the third chapter. So so mystery marred by a narrator with a rather whining voice, but she did match the whining of the MC

Small towns and gossip go together like flaky crust and sweet pastry cream. Between the police scanners, the coffee ladies, and the senior center, no secret is safe for long. But Vangie Vale wants nothing more than to stay under the radar...especially the police radar. So when her new bakery is linked to a murder investigation, nothing will stop the gossip mill from connecting her to the dead body. Can't have that.

Evangeline Vale is a pastor at a community church in a small town in Montana. She is part time at the this small church simply because there isn't much work in this tiny town so she also has a bakery to make ends meet. She has a talent for reading people and is able to match them up with the sweet treats they will like so her barkers is named the MatchBakery. One day a man and woman stop in the bakery to get directions and she sells them some "matched" treats, macarons in this case. the woman is incredibly rude to Vangie and her friend so when she gives the requested directions she states turn left instead of the correct right. As this is a small town it won't take them too far out of their way to discover the incorrect direction. Unfortunately this leads to a chain of events that involves murder and her cookie buyers and she are prime suspects when her cookies are found in a murdered woman's hands. Thus begins the story of old wrongs, blackmail and more murdered to cover the truth. Including a near miss for Evangeline. The characters in this book are interesting in their histories and motivations and for the most part likeable. The scene and scenery are described beautifully and make one want to revisit Montana. But the plot, the story is very well done. The clues are mostly there but not quite enough to give you a glimpse of the surprise ending. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next in the series. I'm hoping all of Evangeline's back story will be provided.
The narrator is a bit irritating as she gives an exaggerated southern accent to Vangie. Vangie was from Raleigh North Carolina and the accent isn’t correct

But there's more than one corpse in those woods, and the second one raises questions no one wants to ask.

Eric Clapton is far more than a rock star. Like Dylan and McCartney, he is an icon and a living legend. He has sold tens of millions of records, played sell-out concerts all over the world, and been central to the significant musical developments of his era. His guitar playing has seen him hailed as "God". Now, for the first time, Eric tells the story of his personal and professional journeys in this pungent, witty, and painfully honest autobiography.

Reviewed: 11-03-07
This book is like sitting down and having someone tell you their own story. The good, the bad, the really bad and all the ups and downs. It's reassuring that even the most famous and talented have real lives and real stories to tell. So sit down, get a cup of tea and have a nice read.

Gustav "Old Red" Amlingmeyer is an old-fashioned kind of guy: He prefers a long trail ride even when a train ticket can get him where he's going in one-tenth the time. So when it's Old Red who insists on guarding the Pacific Axpress, despite a generations-old family distrust of the farm stealin', cattle-killin', money-grubbing' railroads, Big Red is flummoxed. But as usual, he'll follow his ornery brother just about anywhere.
