Eleanor roosevelt volume 25/13/2023 ![]() By explicitly placing ER's political concerns-about human rights, the role of women, racial justice and social welfare-at the center of the narrative, Cook gives us a new, revealing lens through which to view U.S. ![]() With a steely command of facts and a meticulous eye for detail, she demonstrates how the president and First Lady-despite profoundly differing visions that often broke into public disagreement-entered into a delicate, mutually beneficial relationship based on trust, advisement and political action. In this second of three installments-which opens with the Roosevelts' move to Washington to begin FDR's first administration and ends with Kristalnacht and the inevitability of a European war-Cook again proves herself a masterful researcher, historian and writer. When it appeared in 1992, the first volume of Cook's exhaustive, provocative biography of Eleanor Roosevelt radically redefined popular and critical perceptions of her subject's private life and elucidated the enormous role she played in the nation's public life. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Over a period of days each person presents their solution, with the others seeing if they can find flaws in it. The plot revolves around a group of people attempting to solve a mysterious murder involving you, guessed it, a box of poisoned chocolates. One can almost imagine Berkeley wondering: “What if the reader knew from the first paragraph who the murderer was? How would one generate suspense?” Thereon, he pioneered the inverted mystery, told from the criminal’s point of view or, in a further twist, from the perspective of the victim. This is a brilliant mystery from the golden age of crime fiction by Anthony Berkeley. Nevertheless, Berkeley parted company with them, particularly with Christie-even though she did prove to be, if not the most durable, certainly the most enduring of the quartet-as he moved from the mystery as intellectual conundrum toward an exploration of the limits within which the genre could sustain psychology and suspense. Indeed, John Dickson Carr, himself a giant, called Berkeley’s The Poisoned Chocolates Case (1929) one of the best detective stories ever written. Van Dine as one of the four giants in the field. In the 1920’s, he was frequently linked with Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Anthony Berkeley achieved fame during one of the periods in which mystery writing was ascendant. ![]() The iron jackal by chris wooding5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() He also learned not so long ago that his family tree can be traced back to John Milton, author of Paradise Lost, which has no bearing on him whatsoever but it’s kind of interesting anyway.
