Okay, also, there might be some spoilers for previous stories in this review, to give context. While I think any reader of Klune’s will probably love this book, the many callbacks to the previous stories won’t be as thoroughly relished if you read this book, first.Īnd, then, I have to say that I eagerly anticipated this book-pretty much for a year since I finished Heartsong. ![]() Oh…okay, so I need to start out by saying this is the fourth book in a series and you need to read the previous ones for this one to be fully enjoyed. ![]() ![]() ![]() “What’s that?” Dirk Ramey loosed a stream of tobacco juice. “ The Ninth marched out with splendid cheer,” Bose sang to himself, a bit of a nervous habit. The covering still appeared new, but there were no signs of any of their horses. It slumped to one side, wheels busted, like a hobbled steer. He ignored their grumblings until he found the wagon they were meant to find. The other cowhands lingered a few lengths behind him, more than a mite cranky-fueled by their rumbling stomachs-but Bose couldn’t be both cook and tracker at the same time. ![]() More than once, Bose feared that the man might lurk in the brush, hiding in the draws and canyons. Whoever he tracked could’ve traveled through thickets so dense that neither man nor horse could see for more than a few yards at a time. He’d followed the tracks across the plains for quite some time. The noon sun beat on him like a whip in a heavy hand.

The story follows Shalini, the narrator, a mother whose her daughter, the eponymous Leila, has been taken away from her. ![]() Class structures are propped up and strengthened. Love, in some of its forms, becomes illegal. ![]() In this world of walled rather than gated communities and actively enforced separation, acknowledging the humanity of your fellow human effectively becomes illegal. The inhabitants of urban India, browbeaten by economic recession and a scramble for essential resources like drinking water and clean air, begin to revert to a state of communal segregation. Leila starts off with a bleak, but not so hypothetical scenario. That’s precisely why books like Leila are a breath of fresh air. Which is a shame really, because how can you not realize how perfect a setting urban India is for dystopian fiction? As an enthusiast of both speculative fiction and Indian writing, I’ve noted with some dismay that the contribution of Indian English writers to this unique genre has been quite minimal, or their “Indian-ness” underplayed in favor of a generic, nameless, western identity. ![]() ![]() ![]() The vast majority of the book contained cases I had never heard of before and that was certainly a factor in why this book held my interest. male serial killers is discussed but for me the real appeal of the book was learning about each woman.

It was interesting to see that so many women would have gotten away with murder if they just would have dialed it back a few notches. Arsenic by far was the preferred weapon of choice by these females. I don't have a copy of the book in front of me to double check but I believe one of the women featured was from the 1200s and quite a few cases took place in the 19th or 20th century. The women were from all over the globe and represented many different time periods. There's just not that many books like that on the market so I am glad the author decided this was a subject worth writing about.įor the most part I thought the author chose an interesting group of women to feature in this book. I've read many true crime books over the years but this is actually only the second or third time I have had the opportunity to read one featuring female serial killers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book you have in mind is THE GHOST IN THE THIRD ROW, the first of the three Nina Tanleven ghost mysteries. ![]() But that was nearly thirty years ago and we used nearly 150 stories, so I dont have a solid recollection of all of them. When Nina and Chris finally hear his sad story, they are swept up in a dangerous tale involving a secret room, treachery, and the Underground Railroad. It is possible it was in one of the 'Bruce Covilles Book of anthologies that I compiled back in the 1990s. It feels as if someone is standing there with them, looking right over their shoulders! This strange presence proves to be none other than the ghost of the handsome soldier himself, and he appears to be trying to get the girls’ attention, haunting their room at night, even sitting down at the dinner table with them! On the afternoon they arrive, the girls pause for a closer look at some faded Civil War photographs hanging in the hallway, fascinated by one picture in particular of a handsome Confederate soldier whose dreamy eyes hold them enthralled.īut in the midst of all their oohing and aahing a shivery sensation passes between them, like an icy hand on the back of their necks. Nina Tanleven and her best friend Chris are delighted to spend the remainder of the summer with Nina’s architect father at the rambling old country inn he has been hired to restore. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This guide references the 1987 Vintage Books edition. Faulkner, a Nobel laureate, explores the rich interior worlds and dense, difficult histories of characters caught up in the long arc of history. This itself is indicative of the shift in the balance of power-away from old class structures with wealthy white families dominating the narrative-that threatens the formerly-influential Compsons. The novel’s final section is recounted by an omniscient narrator who hews closely to the point of view of the family’s Black housekeeper, Dilsey. Much of the concern swirls around their sister, Caddy, who expresses her independence and sexuality in ways counter to the morality expected by tradition. Told through the perspectives of the three Compson brothers, Benjy, Quentin, and Jason, the novel visits and revisits key events in the family’s past and present. The novel grapples with the challenges of a changing cultural landscape as modernity encroaches on the values-and deep-seated prejudices-of the Old South. William Faulkner’s 1929 novel The Sound and the Fury relays the trials and decline of a once-prominent Southern family, the Compsons. ![]() ![]() Bail on the lie when it becomes clear it is about to be found out. The myriad and complicated rules of the game are strict: no lying to each other-ever. Each different in their own way, the four became inseparable and were notorious for playing the Lying Game, telling lies at every turn to both fellow boarders and faculty, with varying states of serious and flippant nature that were disturbing enough to ensure that everyone steered clear of them. The four girls were best friends at Salten, a second rate boarding school set near the cliffs of the English Channel. The next morning, three women in and around London-Fatima, Thea, and Isabel-receive the text they had always hoped would NEVER come, from the fourth in their formerly inseparable clique, Kate, that says only, “I need you.” Before she can stop him, the dog charges into the water to retrieve what first appears to be a wayward stick, but to her horror, turns out to be something much more sinister. On a cool June morning, a woman is walking her dog in the idyllic coastal village of Salten along a tidal estuary known as the Reach. ![]() From the instant New York Times bestselling author of blockbuster thrillers In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10 comes Ruth Ware’s chilling new novel. ![]() |
