![]() ![]() Kate Atkinson was awarded an MBE in 2011 and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Jackson Brodie later returned in the novel Big Sky. Her bestselling literary crime novels featuring former detective Jackson Brodie, Case Histories, One Good Turn, When Will There Be Good News? and Started Early, Took My Dog, became a BBC television series starring Jason Isaacs. With Case Histories, Kate Atkinson invests the detective novel with a gravitas and emotional range that few authors are capable of.On one level, the interweaving investigation of three separate criminal cases by the maverick private eye Jackson Brodie is pure thriller heaven impeccably structured, twisty and unpredictable. CERTAIN characters are the stock in trade of detective novels: innocent female murder victims, embittered spinsters. Her three critically lauded and prize-winning novels set around the Second World War are Life After Life, an acclaimed 2022 BBC TV series starring Thomasin McKenzie, A God in Ruins (both winners of the Costa Novel Award) and Transcription. A young woman is slashed to death on her first day working at her father's law office. ![]() A married couple who don't deserve to have any children nevertheless have four daughters, the youngest of which disappears one summer night. ![]() This itself is unusual for a mystery novel. ![]() She won the Costa Book of the Year prize with her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum. Case Histories (2004), the first book in the series, made the short list for a Whitbread Book Award and later lent its name to the series adaptation for. Atkinson begins with three 'case histories,' each separated by time and space. Biography: Kate Atkinson is one of the world's foremost novelists. ![]() ![]() academia… classic themes, so one would hope that author David Mazzucchelli would have something new to say about them. It’s not clear in the book their relationship just is because it’s artistically apropos. She finally leaves him, although I was wondering what she saw in him in the first place. His wife is a shy sculptor whose parents loved her brother better, the opposite of him in every way possible. He’s a self-obsessed showoff who thinks about no one but himself and is always right. He’s brilliant and lives the life of the mind, harsh to his students when he’s not sleeping with the female ones. He teaches based on his paper constructions. Well, a professor, really, because the point is made early on that the building he designs haven’t been built. ![]() But the characters are cliches and you’ve seen the content before, making it an ultimately disappointing book, emptier than I hoped it would be.Īsterios Polyp is an architect. Asterios Polyp is beautiful, with all kinds of formalist and craft tricks to push the medium of comics. It’s a shame that such an artistically accomplished work doesn’t have a story of the same high quality. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the reasons I like this genre so much is that it tends to automatically include examinations of gender roles and expectations, because being gay is so antithetical to the mainstream idea of how men should behave (which is utter bullshit of course, and I revel in anything that deconstructs this kind of infuriating expectation). It’s refreshing to read one with some experience of being inside a man’s head. M/M romance is increasingly becoming a favorite genre of mine, but it (like all romance) is a field dominated by women. There is judgment on both ends, and then that judgment is upended. ![]() Noah is a bit stuck up and nerdy, with a bit of an intellectual vibe. Gavin presents as a dumb, violent jock who doesn’t know how to smile. Hassell gets a lot of mileage out of the expectations both parties bring to their hate-to-love romance. It is smart, also, and doesn’t give two fucks about showing its hand and doing its thing. ![]() There is much personality clashing, discussion of power dynamics, class issues, football, and sex. This is a sports romance between a famously aggressive NFL player (Gavin, bisexual and in the closet) who is under house arrest for a brawl that was caught on camera, and the personal assistant (Noah, openly gay former social worker) he hires to help him manage his life while he can’t leave his house. I mean, this was definitely Written By A Man. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But this man has never met the likes of Will and Karen Jennings. A man whose life’s work strikes at the heart of every family’s unspoken fear: the unstoppable kidnapping. A man who has never been caught and whose victims have never talked to the police. A man who has crafted the unbeatable crime. But Will and his family are being watched by a con man and psychopath who may be a genius. Will Jennings is a successful young doctor in Jackson, Mississippi, with a thriving practice, a beautiful wife, and a five year old daughter he loves beyond measure. About to become trapped in the perfect crime. In 24 Hours, Iles takes readers on a daringly executed roller coaster ride with enough twists and surprises to last a lifetime. Reviewers called it ‘beautifully crafted’ The Providence Sunday Journal, ‘heartbreakingly honest’ Cleveland Plain Dealer, and simply ‘a grand thriller with a wonderful Southern seasoning’ The Orange County Register. ![]() Greg Iles’s novels have been praised for their unusual depth of characterization and complexity of plot, and The Quiet Game was no exception. ![]() ![]() Sebastian resists the urge to start sleuthing, even if the culprit is long dead and there’s no apparent danger. And along with it, footage of a murder that took place over a hundred years ago. Inside is a Thomas Edison Kinetoscope, a movie viewer from the nineteenth century, invented by the grandfather of modern cinema, W. What should have been a wonderful week of playing house and celebrating Calvin’s birthday comes to an abrupt end when a mysterious package arrives at the Emporium. It’s summer in New York City, and antique shop owner Sebastian Snow is taking the next big step in his relationship with homicide detective, Calvin Winter: they’re moving in together. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kris hits the road, hoping to reunite Dürt Würk and confront the man who ruined her life. ![]() Then one day everything changes-a shocking act of violence turns her life upside down, and she begins to suspect that Terry sabotaged more than just the band. ![]() In the 1990s she was lead guitarist of Dürt Würk, a heavy-metal band on the brink of breakout success until lead singer Terry Hunt embarked on a solo career and rocketed to stardom, leaving his bandmates to rot in obscurity.\nNow Kris works as night manager of a Best Western she’s tired, broke, and unhappy. From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires comes a hard-rocking, spine-tingling horror novel about a washed-up guitarist of a ’90s heavy metal band who embarks on an epic road-trip across America and deep into the web of a sinister conspiracy.\nEvery morning, Kris Pulaski wakes up in hell. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rule 4b: Do not post just links (YouTube, Imgur, Bell of Lost Souls, etc).This also includes text blocks consisting of Ork-speak, which should be posted at /r/40kOrkScience instead.

Brief Summary of Book: The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Classic Recipes for a New Century by Amanda Hesser ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Dick is unaware of his companion’s feminine gender, but it is revealed to the reader in the first chapter or two when it would have been better kept as a surprise. Soon Dick befriends a young man who is really a girl in disguise, in fact the young woman to whom Dick is arranged to be married. The note also hints that Sir Daniel may be responsible for the death of Dick’s father, which causes the young man to suspect his benefactor and wonder if he is fighting on the right side of this war. The arrow, colored black, bears a note pronouncing a sentence of death on Sir Daniel and three of his closest cohorts. Before the battle begins, one of Dick’s colleagues is killed by an arrow from an unseen archer. Young squire Richard “Dick” Shelton doesn’t have an opinion either way, but his guardian, Sir Daniel Brackley, is for Lancaster, so Dick takes up arms for that side. As the novel opens, the forces of both parties are gathering for the Battle of Risingham (a fictional battle, I believe?). The Black Arrow takes place during the War of the Roses, the 15th century conflict between the houses of Lancaster and York, two branches of the English royal family fighting for the throne. ![]() |
