Book excerpt: Mary Katherine Kennedy led a very conservative childhood. She started to sprout wings going off the college, and her life took off from there. Kate felt in a rut and sought a goal of greater happiness, moving to New York City to join her boyfriend, Ari Goldman. When she encountered the "The Pink Pearl," what she thought was an otherwise mundane life turned into a whirlwind of adventures. Her journey seeking that goal took many twists and turns, some hilarious, some raucous, some sad, and this part of her story ended with a life-changing decision. Did she make the right decision? Read Kate's story, and the author's commentaries along the way, and decide for yourself if she made the best choices that would, hopefully, open the door to a new life that would forever bring her the level of happiness that she sought."Kate's story is engaging from the very beginning. This book, I predict, has all the elements of becoming a best seller! From the quirky and creative writing style narrating Kate's poignant story, the book is a page-turner. Kate is a lovable, sometimes exasperating, and naive young woman struggling to exchange her 'rut' of a lifestyle into a fulfilling and happy life. I found myself talking to her character as I read her story. That's how real Kate is! This first-time author creates a character as real as you and me while injecting humor and hope into this millennial's angst."Karla Williams Noonan, best-selling author, Aurora Street

Download or read book Agatha Christie written by J.C. Bernthal and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The undisputed "Queen of Crime," Dame Agatha Christie (1890-1976) is the bestselling novelist of all time. As the creator of immortal detectives Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple, she continues to enthrall readers around the world and is drawing increasing attention from scholars, historians, and critics. But Christie wrote far beyond Poirot and Marple. A varied life including war work, archaeology, and two very different marriages provided the backdrop to a diverse body of work. This encyclopedic companion summarizes and explores Christie's entire literary output, including the detective fiction, plays, radio dramas, adaptations, and her little-studied non-crime writing. It details all published works and key themes and characters, as well as the people and places that inspired them, and identifies a trove of uncollected interviews, articles, and unpublished material, including details that have never appeared in print. For the casual reader looking for background information on their favorite mystery to the dedicated scholar tracking down elusive new angles, this companion will provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date information.
Book Synopsis Everyman's Guide to the Mysteries of Agatha Christie by : Bruce Pendergast
Download or read book Everyman's Guide to the Mysteries of Agatha Christie written by Bruce Pendergast and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyman's Guide to the Mysteries of Agatha Christie is a reference book covering Christie's 238 stories. It provides data never before published about both important and trivial facts. Dedications, time periods, and locations have been laboriously researched, and provided with "time warp" explanations. Even trivial data such as newspapers (100 in all), pubs (95) and automobiles (136) are shown as well as each story in which they are listed. English sayings totalling 259 are shown with the book(s) in which they appear, including a brief explanation of their meaning. Yet Guide is much more than a list of facts. It is an informative reference book about Christie's writings. As well, different perspectives on many of the perplexing mysteries within her mysteries are provided. Finally, Guide is not an alphabetical list of stories or characters. Instead, it lists many entrancing "errors" of sketches and text with comments explaining where possible the reasons for their existence. Most importantly, "Guide" does not betray any book's endings nor the identity of the villain, a rule that genuine Christie devotees always try to uphold.
