Beschreibung

In "The Brighton Boys in the Trenches," James R. Driscoll captures the harrowing experience of World War I through the eyes of a group of young soldiers from Brighton, Massachusetts. The narrative intertwines historical accuracy with compelling character development, employing a realist literary style that evokes the stark realities of trench warfare. Driscoll'Äôs adept depiction of the camaraderie, fear, and sacrifice faced by these boys not only reflects the wartime ethos but also highlights the profound impact of war on youth, making it a poignant commentary on the loss of innocence against a backdrop of global conflict. James R. Driscoll, a contemporary historian and novelist with a deep-seated interest in military history, draws from extensive research and firsthand accounts to inform his writing. His background in American history and personal connections to veterans fuel his commitment to preserving the stories of those who served. This dedication is evident in the meticulous detail and authenticity that permeates the text, revealing not just the events of war but also the emotional landscape navigated by the soldiers. I highly recommend "The Brighton Boys in the Trenches" to readers seeking a rich, evocative portrayal of World War I's human experience. Driscoll'Äôs blend of historical context with gripping narrative makes it essential for both scholars and casual history enthusiasts, inviting reflection on the enduring consequences of conflict.

    Book 6: Lovely Lethal Gardens 
    Riches to rags. ... Controlling to chaos. ... But murder ... not this time! 
    One night 10 years ago, 8-year-old Crystal, vanished from her bed in her parents’ house, the only clue a footprint in the flowerbed below the girl’s window.  
    Now that footprint’s reappeared, this time at the scene of another crime, and Doreen is under strict orders not to stick her nose into Corporal Mack Moreau’s new investigation. 
    But while Mack is busy with the new case, Doreen figures it can’t hurt if she just takes a quick look at the old one. Her house is empty, her antiques removed, and she has time on her hands. She’s finished working on Penny’s garden and needs a new project to keep her busy – and allow her to avoid the heavy work waiting in her own garden. And with the help of her assistants, Thaddeus the parrot, Goliath the Maine Coon, and Mugs the Basset, soon Doreen is busy navigating the world of pawn shops and blackmail as she looks for clues as to what happened to the girl stolen from her bedroom so many years ago.  
    Surely, it’s not her fault when her case butts up against the new one – is it?

    Distinguishing the personal and private aspects of crime from the public and impersonal, Malice Domestic 1 is a collection of mystery tales from such masters of the genre as Diane Mott Davidson, Caroline G. Hart, Charlotte MacLeod, and Sharyn McCrumb. The perpetrators in these stories don't murder for the fun of it (serial killers), for misguided ideals (terrorists), or for pay (hired hit men). They only do in people they know and love—or hate—in these stories:
