Sea of Tranquility: A Novel | Emily St. John Mandel

pick

This was a reread, so it went a little quicker. I liked this book best even though they are connected. I love how Mandel interconnects stories and time periods. 4.5 stars

#LeopoldandLoeb #HalHigdon

Leopold and Loeb were two well-educated and highly intelligent Jewish boys from wealthy South Side families. They chose 14 year old Bobby Franks at random as their victim. They were defended by the era's most famous attorney, Clarence Darrow. He requested that they not be put to death.

EadieB They were imprisoned and while in jail Loeb was killed but Leopold was finally released after 30 years and lived until 1971 age 66. This was a very interesting case that was known as The Crime of the Century. If you like true crime then you will love this book. I would like to read another book about this murder in the future. 5mo

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 5mo

TheSpineView Fantastic! 5mo

#Friday29thDecemberthruTuesday2ndJanuary #TheHeiress #RachaelHawkins

This book is a twisted new gothic suspense about an infamous heiress and the complicated inheritance she left behind. Ruby McTavish is the victim of a famous kidnapping as a child. She ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House, her family's estate high in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Her adopted son, Camden, wants little to do

EadieB with the house or the money. He settles into a normal life as an English teacher and marries Jules, a woman eager to escape her past. Was there any truth to the rumors following her disappearance as a girl? What really happened to the four husbands who all died under mysterious circumstances? Why did she adopt Cam in the first place? 5mo

EadieB The characters speak right to the reader to tell their story until the very end we are putting the story together. The ending is great as we realize what happened. If you like stories that are unique then you will love this book. Looking forward to my next Rachael Hawkins read. 5mo

Andrew65 Excellent 🎄🎄🎄 5mo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 5mo

TheSpineView Fantastic! 5mo
