On Memorial Day in Jewel, Minnesota, the body of wealthy landowner Jimmy Quinn is found floating in the Alabaster River, dead from a shotgun blast. The investigation falls to Sheriff Brody Dern, a highly decorated war hero who still carries the physical and emotional scars from his military service. Even before Dern has the results of the autopsy, vicious rumors begin to circulate that the killer must be Noah Bluestone, a Native American WWII veteran who has recently returned to Jewel with a Japanese wife.

by the numbers
Revisado: 08-23-24
generally didn’t care too much about the characters or the outcome, melodrama and romance that never really affected me, uneven. I did finish it (it wasn’t dull), and the whodunnit was interesting at the end, but…

Nora Kelly, a young archaeologist in Santa Fe, receives a letter written 16 years ago, yet mysteriously mailed only recently. In it her father, long believed dead, hints at a fantastic discovery that will make him famous and rich - the lost city of an ancient civilization that suddenly vanished a thousand years ago. Now Nora is leading an expedition into a harsh, remote corner of Utah's canyon country, but what she unearths will be the newest of horrors.

sh*t academics say
Revisado: 09-23-23
I was hoping for a Pendergast-Jim Chee mashup here, desert-Native angles, clever plotting, and a good lead character. Not the case here — Nora is dull and unbelievable, a assistant-professor nerd-seductress with unpleasant tactics and amazing feats of derring-do. Lots of piece that need to fall exactly into place for the plot to make sense, and man, if you’ve ever been in academia, or know desert geomorphology or meteorology, the interactions in this book will drive you to the off button.

Every Wednesday, Gretchen Reynolds singlehandedly influences how millions of Americans work out. In her Phys Ed column for The New York Times, she debunks myths, spurs conversation, and creates arguments among her readers by questioning widely held beliefs about exercise. Expanding upon her popular columns, Reynolds tackles the questions we all have and (sometimes) ask about exercise.

A great read, but a little too carb centric.

like listening to a children's book
Revisado: 05-24-16
I enjoyed listening to this while working out, as the research presented was inspiring and got me to exercise differently - like having a coach that knew physiological research whispering in my ear.
The "whispering" part, though, is the problem. The narrator's style was far too folksy and cutesy - like listening to my son's first grade teacher trying to get the kids ready for story time. She went so far as to "act" in different characters when she quoted science journals - to the point of (borderline offensively) putting on accents when quoting research from researchers with Chinese and Japanese names...
I do recommend this book to folks who need to be coaxed off the couch or who (like me) are a bit in a rut with workouts. And I'm sure the reader does a fine job with YA fiction and romance, but this book didn't match her skills.
