Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Thin Dark Line
by
Tami Hoag
Marlene Head
, September 01, 2011
I picked this up to read on my vacation--and stayed up reading till 4 a.m. two nights in a row! I could not put it down. The writing is crisp, the characters are compelling, and the tension she creates down in the Louisiana Bayou makes you want to get up and check the locks on all the doors and windows every half hour. I know a lot of readers will laugh at how late I am in discovering her, but I'm Tami Hoag's newest big fan!

Monster of Florence

This is a chilling, real-life investigation of murders that occurred in Italy--but the eeriest part was discovering that the incompetent prosecutor in this book is the same one who brought the terribly flawed case against Amanda Knox.

Mockingbird A Portrait Of Harper Lee
by
Charles J Shields
Marlene Head
, June 17, 2009
I first read "To Kill a Mockingbird" as a Readers Digest selection when I was 12 years old. To say it made an impact on me is an understatement. But for all these years I've never known anything about Harper Lee--better known among her friends and family as Nelle. The book doesn't disappoint--filling in her childhood and her relationship with Truman Capote and their time together doing research for his book "In Cold Blood"--so much as simply leave me wanting more . . . in her own words.

Resolution
by
Mina
Marlene Head
, November 05, 2007
In this last book of Denise Mina's "Garnethill" crime novel trilogy, gritty Scottish heroine Maureen O'Donnell is still struggling with the demons of drink and childhood sexual abuse by her father, Michael. While she waits to testify against the killer of her former lover and worries about her pregnant sister's baby, the suspicious death of a colorful acquaintance leads her and her friends Leslie and Kilty into Glasgow's underworld of forced prostitution and international trafficking. One of the best crime writers on the planet!

Monkey Girl Evolution Education Religion & the Battle for Americas Soul
by
Edward Humes
Marlene Head
, February 07, 2007
Edward Humes writes with sharp-witted skill about the people behind "intelligent design" and their larger design of creating a Christian nation. Another wake-up call that belongs on the shelf right next to Chris Hedges's "American Fascism."
