Historia
Renée Ballard is working the night beat again and returns to Hollywood Station in the early hours only to find a stranger rifling through old file cabinets. The intruder is retired detective Harry Bosch, working a cold case that has gotten under his skin. Ballard kicks him out but then checks into the case herself, and it brings a deep tug of empathy and anger. Bosch is investigating the death of 15-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway on the streets of Hollywood who was brutally murdered and her body left in a dumpster like so much trash. Now, Ballard joins forces with Bosch.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Italian Party to be better than the print version?
Did not read so can't tell. The reader was very good.
Would you recommend The Italian Party to your friends? Why or why not?
I saw the author and she is very engaging. On that basis I bought the Audiobook. It was not good enough on its own for a recommendation. That said, it is a great beach read for this summer.
Which scene was your favorite?
The seduction.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Neither laugh or cry. But so many sub plots made it sort of silly. One or two of the twists would have done and then delve into the culture or characters a bit more.
Any additional comments?
THe tone of the 50s is spot on.

Historia
Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

Preposterous

Grisham has taken more than poetic license here. The story is so far-fetched that it was not compelling. I am a Grisham fan and this is not his best work

Historia
When a young reporter is found dead and a prominent Philadelphia businessman is accused of her murder, Mick McFarland finds himself involved in the case of his life. The defendant, David Hanson, is Mick's best friend, and the victim, a TV news reporter, had reached out to Mick for legal help only hours before her death. Mick's played both sides of Philadelphia's courtrooms. As a top-shelf defense attorney and former prosecutor, he knows all the tricks of the trade. And he'll need every one of them to win.

Can't bear this narrator
Revisado: 05-03-17
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The narrator. He sounds like he is trying to sound like one of the Grisham narrators. He misses the mark by a wide margin. Had to bail because it was so bad
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Don't know.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter Berkrot?
Any other narrator who is not trying to have a southern accent in a book based in Philadelphia. I have liked all the narrators for Grisham where a southern accent was appropriate.
Could you see A Criminal Defense being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No
Any additional comments?

Just what I wanted.

I had a hankering for a big juicy twisty plot interesting character book. This was just what I wanted. If you have a similar yearning this is your book. This court drama is fascinating and the narrator is pitch perfect in every respect.

Historia
To Christina Olson, the entire world was her family's remote farm in the small coastal town of Cushing, Maine. Born in the home her family had lived in for generations, and increasingly incapacitated by illness, Christina seemed destined for a small life. Instead, for more than 20 years, she was host to and inspiration for the artist Andrew Wyeth and became the subject of one of the best known American paintings of the 20th century.

Historia
Fifth-generation New Yorker, third-generation bartender, and first-generation author Tara Clancy was raised in three wildly divergent homes: a converted boat shed in working-class Queens; a geriatric commune of feisty, Brooklyn-born Italians; and a sprawling Hamptons estate she visited every other weekend. This childhood triptych comes to life in The Clancys of Queens, an electric, one-of-a-kind memoir.

Historia
In The Keeper of Lost Causes, Jussi Adler-Olsen introduced Detective Carl Mørck, a deeply flawed, brilliant detective newly assigned to run Department Q, the home of Copenhagen’s coldest cases. The result wasn’t what Mørck - or readers - expected, but by the opening of Adler-Olsen’s shocking, fast-paced follow-up, Mørck is satisfied with the notion of picking up long-cold leads. So he’s naturally intrigued when a closed case lands on his desk: A brother and sister were brutally murdered two decades earlier....

What would have made The Absent One better?
Wanted to love this. Loved the Wallendar series and other detective series set in Scandinavia. This was just too much violence for my enjoyment.
What was most disappointing about Jussi Adler-Olsen’s story?
Violent detail
