New information

Revisado: 02-23-25

I found it interesting that, even in the antebellum period, women could, and did, take legal action to separate their property from their husband’s, and that women also engaged in human trading on their own. Not a happy book, but I had to look evil in its face.

Informative: history that you won’t get in school!

Revisado: 02-02-25

A lot of good information, though the Whitey Bulger story has since been updated…and closed.

Well done, Cassidy!

I enjoyed listening to Ms. Hutchinson’s description of her D.C. experiences. Thank goodness she was the one with a conscience, and a personal disturbance of heart until she told the whole truth. Thank you, Ms. Hutchinson, for your strength of character and for your determination to fight for this country of ours.

Respect

Revisado: 09-25-23

I have so much respect for Ms. Davis. I had an artist say, years ago, that the real art was all of the work involved in the preparation and production of the final product. Ms. Davis shared her life of preparation. Respect.

Wow!

First, I would like to thank Mrs. Kenda for all of her sacrifices as a homicide detective’s wife. Thank you, Detective Kenda, for seeking justice for those who cannot seek it for themselves.

I was surprised that this was fiction…I hadn’t paid attention, I simply automatically ordered the new Joe Kenda book, and was a little apprehensive. Disappointed with other fiction authors in the past, I realized that Kenda used his entire palette of experiences to paint a believable crime fiction account. There were times when I started to do internet searches for certain names and I remembered that I was listening to fiction. Yes, I toured Tívoli Gardens on GoogleMaps and I looked at the driving route between Colorado Springs and Vegas, as well (I’ve driven that route a couple of times, myself).

The story was a treat for me, with a very satisfying ending, and I’m glad that I listened. Highly recommended.

P.S. I even enjoyed the two narrators and their facility with voicing for various characters…it was unique, and it helped to keep the various points of view separated.

Mary Poppins!

Revisado: 07-18-23

Saw the Disney movie at age 5, and now, at 64, I am enjoying the books and seeing how they connect to the new movie and the Broadway show. The first rule about Mary Poppins, though, is…!!

A “Must Read”!

Revisado: 07-18-23

Well-researched and supported conclusions regarding the death of Dr. Mary Sherman. I appreciated the personal aspect with his father having worked with Sherman.

Further…

Very insightful information re:
1. Soft-cell cancers
2. HIV-AIDS
3. Possibly COVID-19 (my assumption)

New information, for me, was offered regarding Lee Oswald, beyond that of “LBJ: The Mastermind…,” or of “Double-cross.” Oswald was certainly used behind the scenes, by the U.S. Government, in the clandestine operations of the lab described in this book.

True Crime: My Era

Revisado: 06-27-23

I finally got around to listening to this book. I appreciate the details. I felt transported in time, as if I’d been there. Spoiler alert: Gina’s DNA and partial remains were discovered in different areas, starting with the lake house, in July 2020. Apparently, she had been dismembered (I suspected this), and her body parts were buried in various remote places. Do an internet search with her name, adding “DNA found.” I appreciate that this book prompted me to dig deeper and to go beyond, for more information.

A huge puzzle piece

Revisado: 05-28-23

Remembering the JFK funeral, when I was 4-1/2, and later becoming friends with the daughter of Ted Callaway (the former Marine who found Officer Tippit), I’ve been casually interested in the assassination. Not realizing that this book would relate to that event, and others, I found this fascinating. The information is about as close as one can get, and it dovetails with other accounts. I’m glad that I purchased this selection.

Difficult and Magnificent

Revisado: 04-30-23

This was a difficult book because of the raw, and necessary, facts that were presented. Sometimes I had to stop and listen to lighter reading in order to process everything. THIS is the history that needs to be included, adjusted for age, in public schools.
