Manlio Parrini was hailed for his film, “Broken Truths,” but found, ironically, that the industry was, “a place without truth.” Decades after he walked away, he has one more film to make. But when his neighbor is found murdered, he becomes a witness, maybe even a suspect.
“Imagination” and “Balance” just seem to go together. Marsha Solomon brings them together in her poem and artwork.
Nearly everyone dismisses Kausar Khan, aka, Detective Aunty, as a nosy, old, Indian woman. But since she proved her daughter, Sana, innocent of murder, her neighbors in Toronto now respect and fear her abilities.
It’s 1968. While war is raging in Vietnam, protests are growing on American campuses. Even though Piper Lewis lives in Bangkok, across the border from the fighting, she is sheltered from its fallout. Until she falls in love with someone whose life could soon be in danger.
I’m always excited to discover a mystery writer I have somehow overlooked. Stig Abell has created an intriguing character, Jake Jackson, who makes his fourth appearance in “A Twist in the River.”
Daphne and her husband, Jonathan, are enjoying a day at the Met when he sees a white-haired man following them from room to room. They finally meet and Daphne is face to face with Eddie, a stepfather she hasn’t seen for decades. Can they recover all those lost years?
