Sinopsis

In "The Extraordinary Life of Patty," Carolyn Wells crafts a captivating narrative that chronicles the adventures and challenges of its intrepid protagonist, Patty. Wells employs a rich, engaging prose style reminiscent of early 20th-century American literature, deftly blending humor with poignant moments. The book situates itself within the broader context of women's literature during the early 1900s, reflecting societal norms and expectations while also subverting them through Patty's spirited determination and independence. Through vivid descriptions and intricately developed characters, Wells illuminates themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the pursuit of personal ambition against the backdrop of an evolving society. Carolyn Wells, a prolific author, poet, and critic, was an influential figure in her time, often exploring themes related to women's lives and societal roles. Having experienced both the constraints and opportunities afforded to women in her era, Wells's own journey as a writer and intellectual informed her portrayal of Patty, embodying the struggles and triumphs that women faced during the dawn of the 20th century. Her keen observation of human nature and her ability to infuse wit into serious topics make her perspective invaluable. I highly recommend "The Extraordinary Life of Patty" to readers seeking a nuanced exploration of female agency and character development. Wells's work not only entertains but also invites critical reflection on the historical context of women's empowerment. This book is a delightful read that resonates with anyone interested in the intersection of literature and life's extraordinary endeavors.

    Chief Inspector Alan Banks faces his most personal case from New York Times bestselling author Peter Robinson. 
    A bullet to the brain abruptly halted a terrified young woman's desperate flight. In her pocket is the name of a policeman whose own life was brutally invaded, mercilessly shaken, and very nearly erased—a policeman who has since gone missing. 
    The dead woman in the car had been running from something—but she didn't run far or fast enough. Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot would like to question the man the victim was apparently racing to meet: Annie's superior—and former lover—Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks. But Banks has vanished into the anonymous chaos of the city, drawn into a mad whirl of greed, inhumanity, and death, by a frantic phone call from the brother he no longer knows. Banks is unaware that the threads connecting a sinister kidnapping with a savage slaying are as thick as rope . . . and long enough for a haunted and broken rogue cop to hang himself. 
    One of his most, clever, twisting thrillers, Strange Affair attests once again why readers love and can’t get enough of Peter Robinson’s novels of suspense.

    Some secrets refuse to stay buried. Some killers never stop. 
    When DCNR Ranger Emily Davis discovers a human skull buried in the Pennsylvania wilderness, she unwittingly exposes a decades-old crime and a serial killer who has been using her park as a dumping ground. As more remains are uncovered, one set is traced to a long-forgotten cold case involving a missing judge, a mystery that now appears to be just one piece of a disturbing pattern. Clues suggest the judge’s disappearance is connected to several other missing persons cases—each one pointing to a predator who has gone undetected for years. 
    State Police Sergeant Wade Brunner has spent years chasing justice, but this case is personal. Not only is Emily the woman he never stopped loving, but working alongside her stirs memories of the one case that still haunts them both—Emily’s missing sister, Nora. While her disappearance remains separate from the murders, every uncovered body forces Emily to relive the trauma of losing her sister. 
    As they work to unravel the threads of a case spanning years and victims, Wade and Emily must confront their past, their faith, and a relentless killer who has no intention of stopping. 
    But the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. Someone is watching. Someone is hunting. And Emily may be the next to vanish. 
    For fans of Colleen Coble, Lisa Phillips, and Susan May Warren, Grave Pursuits is a riveting Christian suspense novel where past sins refuse to stay buried, and faith is the only thing standing between justice and death.
