Townie: A Memoir by Andre Dubus III
Townie: A Memoir

Jill Kinkade, January 23, 2012

This is a great book by and about a "reformed thug." For anyone who loves a well written book, likes a good story, and is fascinated about the role the family plays in a child's development, this is an excellent read. For those of us who often ponder the "nature or nurture" question, we'll come away from the book understanding a little bit more. I can't wait to get my hands on more of Dubus' writing.

This Body of Death: An Inspector Lynley Novel by Elizabeth George
This Body of Death: An Inspector Lynley Novel

This is another book in the Elizabeth George Inspector Lynley series. If you are a mystery reader, love well-defined characters whose actions always remain true to their personalities, fascinating, complex plots, and an author with a beautiful command of the English language, you will love George's books. For me, they are in the "don't miss one" category!
