Title: Alaska Daily

Review: Swank stars as recently disgraced reporter, Eileen Fitzgerald, who leaves her high-profile New York life behind to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska, on a journey to find redemption. Surprisingly intriguing for a network (ABC) show and Swank really digs into the role, after initially being so overtly pedantic as to be a put off. The ensemble cast is really good and the show gets on serous issues for native American peoples in Alaska- which feels very place sensitive except for mostly being filmed in British Columbia. Well written, witty and hard hitting. No doubt for a second season.

Title: Chaos

Review: Hmmm…have you ever wonder what the designation “NY times bestseller” actually means? This work is from a writer who has appeared on that list literally dozens and dozens of times, and has (according to the jacket) a massive worldwide following and has been translated into a billion languages. Must be pretty hot shit, no? Well, not so much. To be honest, I wanted to dump this book after ten pages, but was stranded in San Diego with nothing else to read and then got captivated by its wild story, which is, indeed, very enticing. Chaos is a good word, for the story……and…… for her writing. I suppose it is really not all that bad if you are thinking along the lines of of college sophomore essays, but frankly, pretty bad….and yet…. hard not to want to read this stuff. The narrative of the novel seems written as a long dialog, which is one long-ass play. The characters’ lack depth, the dialog is pithy and context non-existent…. but it does have bit of a ferocious conclusion, and Iris does write a pretty steamy sex scene. That’s all I got- your choice.

Notable People: Louise Penny

Title: A World of Curiosities

Review: Penny’s 18^th and most recent addition to the masterful Gamache series is another thoughtful, reflective and extremely observant work that also happens to feature an extraordinarily complex mystery. Gamache is a top ten literary character in my view, and the books are treatises on Canadian culture, history and national angst (who knew they had any?); always riffing on the most significant events in Canadian, and specially, Quebecois history, that we have no idea about here down under. This one wandered a bit at first telling the Gamache/-Jean-Guy origin story, but got stronger as it went on and is a master work on the role of forgiveness in modern life. Penny’s’ acknowledgment sections are immediately personal and unlike any in the industry-make you feel lie you know her as she relates her struggles and illuminations in writing each book. Did you know she has had  a number one NY times bestseller-co-wrote with Hillary Clinton? Finally, I have caught up with the series and will now have to join the line in waiting for next installment.

Notable People: Donna Leon

Title: Acqua Alta

Review: Book number 5from Leon’s’ internationally bestselling, and Magnifico series featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti. In what many critics considered one of the finest in the series, Venice braces for the onslaught of “acqua alta”-the rising waters from torrential rains that come to Venice from Africa during the late winter of each year (Who Knew?!). You cannot read this book and not feel thoroughly cold and drenched-takes you right there along with another tantalizing murder and mayhem story featuring, as always, the unusual water bound landscape and culture of Venice, opera, fine arts, antiquities and the endless, stoic social commentary on the complexity of life in Italy. Totally absorbing and impossible to put down -ready for #6.

Title: The Face Changers

Review: Number four in Perry’s acclaimed Jane Whitefield series, and each one gets better. Perry is a master of the suspense genre and Jane is a character you can hardly believe someone could make up.: an unobtrusive lifelong resident of the Seneca nation around the Buffalo area, who had led a secret life for two decades, as a magician at helping deserving fugitives permanently disappear (in a good way, not into the cement). The books’ complex narratives on the incredible detail minutia involved in this extraordinary undertaking, while still providing wonderful character studies and great locales. This one is a mad chase by both the good guys and the bad guys back and forth across the country. Really hoping Perry (who is a fabulous writer of other genres, as well) will stay with this series forever. Titillating and Rapturous.

Notable People: Walter Mosley

Title: Little Green

Review: In 2007’s Blonde Faith, set in 1967, Easy Rawlins drove drunkenly off a cliff in what Mosley indicated was likely his last appearance. Now, after two months of sliding in and out of consciousness, Easy is reborn, beginning the long journey back to the living, in Mosley’s superb 12th mystery featuring his iconic sleuth. Mosley fans were pining for the resurrection of Rawlins.  Their dreams have come true…. Mosley returns here to doing what he does best: an intriguing set of mysteries set in the historical context and struggle of race in America; in Mosley/ Rawlins case, that being post WWII LA, and, in the case of this masterful book-late in the Summer of Love. Mosley gives us strong correlations between the counter culture and the movement for civil rights, and, as always, spins a compelling yarn. The 12^th of this series, originating in 1990, and still going strong, with three additions since then. My only confusion is how old is Easy Rawlins, the WWII vet now? Explosive writing, extraordinary characters (Ray “Mouse “Alexander …one for the ages) and an incredible ability to make African -American experience more accessible to us all. Great, great stuff. Mosley is a legend.

Title:  The Old Man

Review: Picked this book up at a library sale because I like Perry’s work on the Jane Whitefield series (see numerous previous reviews). Several moths later I took it with me on a trip to San Diego and opened it to realize it as the origin book for the Hulu TV series with Jeff Bridges that I reviewed several months ago. The series was really good, the book is much more convoluted, and great. Perry is a top notch writer and storyteller, and this story of a rogue US Intelligence operative is a beauty. Same character as the book, but a much more complex story, that still involves “the old man” who has been living in obscurity for 35 years and has been rediscovered by a vengeful CIA and its ilk and being hunted relentlessly. The character portraits are outstanding, and the whirlwind treks across the Us and the Middle East are breathtaking. Hard book to put down. Highly recommended.
