Great Chicago Fire, The by John Boda

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


On Sunday evening, October 8, 1871, what is known as "the great Chicago fire began. Before it was over, two days later, it literally melted buildings made of brick and stone; burned buildings made of wood; and turned sand, along the lake shore, into glass. 18,000 buildings were destroyed. Approximately 100,000 people were homeless. At least 300 deaths resulted from the fire.
At this same time, more communities were being destroyed by fire, though I wasn't aware of that fact until I read this book. Communities on the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and Peshtigo, Wisconsin, also experienced catastrophic fires. The authors detail the various theories as to how these multiple events came to take place on the same days.

The authors chronicle "the great Chicago fire" in both images and words. Though the main focus is images, the image descriptions serve as an excellent narrative. There is much information here about the history of Chicago, the fire, the rebuilding after the fire, and what has happened to many of these buildings.

The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Charlotte and Samantha Quinn witnessed the death of their mother and then were forced, at gun point, to walk into the woods. As you might expect, the experience forever altered their lives and the lives of those in their small Georgia community. Years later, Charlotte just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and witnessed another violent act at gun point. That event also changed her life and the lives of others. I can't say much more about the actual plot without giving too much away.

This book is absolutely phenomenal in every way. It grabs you from the outset, and the characters find purchase inside your head and heart, immediately. I could not stop reading. I felt connected to these girls and the women they became. Every character had something to teach me, and every character evoked a deep emotional response. In my view, there is no superficiality anywhere in these pages. This is a remarkable read in every way. My second favorite read of the year.

If some profanity and violence bothers you, this is not the book for you. It is crime fiction, and the author does not shy away from descriptive details. But if you're looking for a book that will leave you wanting to know more about these characters, this is a book for you. And I cannot forget about the suspense element. There is that too, in spades. Excellent on every level.

Review: An Irish Christmas by Melody Carlson

An Irish Christmas by Melody Carlson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Colleen and her adult son, Jamie, both have secrets they are uncomfortable sharing with one another. They are both dealing with the loss of a loved one. And for different reasons, they are both at loose ends. Colleen decides they should go to Ireland for Christmas, and she plans to reveal her secret to Jamie there. Jamie is not keen on the idea, but decides to acquiesce. What happens in Ireland will change both their lives forever.

If you like simple Christian romance, this book is for you. It's well written, and the characters are believable. However, as I quite often do with Christian romance books, I didn't find this one particularly enthralling. The subject of the book is deep, but the characters didn't seem filled with emotion on a deep level.

The Kennedy Assassination--24 Hours After: Lyndon B. Johnson's Pivotal First Day as President by Steven M. Gillon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Historian, Steven M. Gillon, chronicles the tragic events of November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, and Lyndon B. Johnson's response as he suddenly and unexpectedly becomes President of the United States. The book also explores, in detail, the political drama surrounding President Kennedy's visit to Texas, the Johnson/Kennedy relationship, and the relationships and loyalties of the aids and those closest to both President Kennedy and Vice President Johnson.

The detail is amazing. The author offers a more complete picture of President Johnson, the man. When I think about President Kennedy's assassination, my usual focus is on him and the Kennedy family. I tend to think less about what Vice President Johnson's life as Vice President, and what he had to grapple with when, in the blink of an eye, he became President of the United States. I appreciated seeing the personal side of President Johnson a great deal. Not perfect, of course, but nothing like he is often portrayed either. I intend to read more of this author's material, as I like his writing style and presentation.

Series: Jesse Stone (#2)

Trouble In Paradise by Robert B. Parker

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Jesse Stone, small town police chief, is back to match wits with James Macklin, a criminal who kills as easily as most people breathe. Jesse is also still struggling with ongoing relationship problems with his ex-wife and other love interests in his rather complicated and unconventional life.

What draws me back to this Series is Jesse Stone. He's a tough guy. He's smart. He gets the job done. But he's really a softy at heart. Mostly, I think I like him so much because he's human and flawed.

James Macklin has a few of the same qualities as Jesse Stone. He's smart. He's tough. He's convinced he loves his girlfriend, but, in truth, I believe he loves no one except himself. When the two come together, it makes for a most interesting read.

Pearl Harbor: FDR Leads the Nation Into War by Steven M. Gillon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


acclaimed historian, Steven M. Gillon, details the events of December 7, 1941--the day the empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. He writes about this day, the people involved, the actions of President Roosevelt and the Cabinet, and others-including the government of Japan and the leaders of the attack. The book chronicles the twenty-four hours from the time of the attack through the actions of the President and Congress on December 8, 1941. Interspersed with this chronology, is the historical perspective and the events leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

I have read several books about Pearl Harbor, and I believe this one to be the best I've read. It is so detailed and interesting. It reads like a thriller, and is a woven tapestry of the time. I learned many things I have not seen in other accounts. If you want to read an un-sanitized account, this book is for you. Reading this book inspires me to read some of the author's other titles, especially about the Kennedy assassination and American politics.

Window on the Square by Phyllis A. Whitney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Megan Kincaid, all alone after the deaths of her mother and younger brother in a tragic accident, is unsure of how she will make a living. She accepts a position as care taker for a troubled boy, in the home of the wealthy Reid family in late nineteenth-century New York City. The house and its occupants hold many secrets, including murder, and Megan must unravel all in order to help the little boy she comes to love.

There is nothing quite so good as a Phyllis A. Whitney book. I grew up reading them, and am so pleased Open Road Media has made them available in ebook format for the enjoyment of future generations.

Silent Night by Mary Higgins Clark

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Catherine Dornan took her two sons, ten-year-old Michael, and seven-year-old Brian, to see Rockefeller Center late in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, hoping to distract them from worrying about their father who had surgery. One minute, Brian was next to her, and the next minute he was gone. Brian had seen a young woman pick up his mother's wallet. He needed to get it back because he wanted to give the St. Christopher Medal it contained to his father, knowing it would make him well. Little did Brian know he was embarking on a dangerous journey, and how many lives would be touched in the effort to reunite the family.

This is a great holiday story which I have reread many times. It has become a Christmas tradition for me, and it is one of my favorite books by Mary Higgins Clark.

Her Christmas Protector by Terri Reed

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Faith Delange ran from her abusive ex-husband. Terrified that he might find her, she sought refuge in a rural Oregon community where she met Luke Campbell, who became her protector.

This book is your typical Christian romance! A good read if you like the genre, but I didn't find it particularly exciting.

Review: Night Passage (Jesse Stone #1) by Robert B. Parker

Title: Night Passage (Jesse Stone #1)
Author: Robert B. Parker

Publication Date: July 1, 2001
Edition: ebook (416 pages)
Genres:

Series: Jesse Stone #1

Night Passage by Robert B. Parker

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Jesse Stone is a cop who is just about out of everything; his marriage, his job, a stable life. Resigning his job as a Los Angeles homicide detective, and battling a drinking problem, he accepts a job as Chief of Police for a small Massachusetts town. Expecting to find tranquility in small town life, he finds murder and duplicity instead.

This is the first Robert B. Parker novel I have read. His writing style is straight forward and I like Jesse Stone, flaws and all. Rather liberating to know that not even police officers are perfect. Yet Jesse Stone is smart, compassionate and does the right thing when it counts.
