" Gilda Joyce is an appealing teenage sleuth! Dressed in her vinyl boots, trench coats and spy-girl flip, she has a hard time blending in when in DC for the summer to work as an intern at the spy museum. Loved the plot, loved the characters, loved the sarcasm. I enjoyed this one a lot more than the last two. Out of all the books before this one, none of them were as good as this one! Gilda Joyce fans, you should read this book! " - Budgie&DomoFan, That makes the book really interesting as Gilda is a spy in this book.

Lucie often felt that she was never a smart girl, having invested more years in ballet school than education, but she was brilliant, and I absolutely loved how it was shown that 'smarts' are in more areas than just math or typical education areas.Īnd little Josie was so creative herself. They were all spectacular, and I loved seeing how their lives intertwined and grew. The characters came to life, and I truly loved Lucie, Paul, and little Josie. It brought a whole new view of it, and added another layer of depth to the history we're so familiar with. It was particularly interesting to read about the war through the perspective of those in Paris during the time - I've read a lot of WWII books set in America, England, and even Germany itself, but I don't think I had read one set in France before this. Sarah Sundin writes the best WWII fiction, in my opinion, and Until Leaves Fall in Paris was filled with just as much interest and beauty as all the other books I've had the pleasure of reading by her. As usual, the author's writing style was impeccable in this one. In addition, today is also the release date for paperback of The Extraordinaries!

It didn’t help that her father then went out and found another wife – complete with another daughter – to replace Harper’s mother. Generally, while they sometimes have a sad backstory, Higgins’ heroines have been romantic and hopeful about love, but Harper’s mother left her and her father when Harper turned 13, leaving a permanent scar on the vulnerable teen. But it’s the sad tale of her childhood that really tugs the emotions and drew me to tears both when I read it in print and during this listen. She hasn’t even told most of her friends that she was ever married, and at her sister’s wedding, she fights the attraction for Nick while at the same time fighting off the fear of commitment in so many ways. The story of Nick and Harper’s whirlwind courtship and marriage some years earlier is revealed ever-so-slowly throughout the book, told in 1st person from Harper’s perspective. In the midst of her marriage proposal, a life she had tried to completely bury comes rushing back when her step-sister announces she’s marrying Harper’s ex-husband Nick’s brother. Harper James is a little different from many of Higgins’ heroines – she’s a cynical divorce attorney who is trying to convince her steady beau of 2 years, the hunkalicious if not very ambitious Dennis (who calls her “dude”) to marry her. The most recent one is My One and Only, published in print in 2011. It’s a delight to have Kristan Higgins’ earlier titles out in audio now, narrated by the talented Xe Sands. While most of the episodes have the ring of truth, those toward the end of this slim volume veer toward farce and bear the marks of having been thought up to pad out the pages. Boy himself proves incorrigible too: in hilarious scenes, he explains how he overestimates human intelligence time and again. From his spot under the dining-room table, Boy receives ``a wide ranging, eclectic education,'' learning chiefly that ``the management,'' as he calls his owners, are incorrigible and bibulous party givers. Boy's encounters with wrathful butchers and irate owners of dogs in heat and of treed cats are the high points of this picaresque tale, balanced by his admonitions on how to acquire social polish and communicate effectively with insensitive humans. With many an arch and insightful comment, Boy celebrates his life after he escapes from his first owner, a brutish farmer, and is adopted by a kindly woman (thereafter called madame) and her ``other half,'' a rather dim-witted soul who is of course Mayle himself. As animated by Mayle, Boy is a clever chap given to literary allusions, urbane observations and stinging bon mots. Both canine ``memoir'' and cautionary tale, this sprightly account of the further adventures of Boy, Mayle's real-life dog introduced in Toujours Provence, is a gem of its kind. Cuff in Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone to Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade. Though he would be vindicated five years later, the real legacy of Jonathan Whicher lives on in fiction: the tough, quirky, knowing, and all-seeing detective that we know and love om the cryptic Sgt. Without sufficient evidence or a confession, though, his case was circumstantial and he returned to London a broken man. Whicher is a provocative work of nonfiction that reads like a Victorian thriller, and in it Kate Summerscale has fashioned a brilliant, multilayered narrative that is as cleverly constructed as it is beautifully written. Whicher quickly believed the unbelievable-that someone within the family was responsible for the murder of young Saville Kent. The crime horrified all England and led to a national obsession with detection, ironically destroying, in the process, the career of perhaps the greatest detective in the land.Īt the time, the detective was a relatively new invention there were only eight detectives in all of England and rarely were they called out of London, but this crime was so shocking, as Kate Summerscale relates in her scintillating new book, that Scotland Yard sent its best man to investigate, Inspector Jonathan Whicher. In June of 1860 three-year-old Saville Kent was found at the bottom of an outdoor privy with his throat slit. |
