One Good Book About Edward VIII and One Bad Book

The Woman Before Wallis by Andrew Rose

Traitor King by Andrew Lownie

March 22, 2023 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

These two books contrast very well in terms of how to do historical research and writing well versus how to do it lazily and sloppily. Andrew Lownie’s Traitor King is a great example of deep, serious research combined with strong, clear writing. Lownie makes an extremely well-sourced case for the argument that Edward VIII (David) had strong connections to the Nazis, as did Wallis, and that both of them were fully traitors to the British nation. I have never been a fan of David at […]

Sinister Shores

Murder By the Sea by Robin Jarossi, David Howard

March 14, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Based on the CBS reality show Murder By the Sea, ten murders that took place in various seaside towns and resorts of Britain are recounted in this book. I like true crime, but my medium of choice is podcasts – I very rarely watch it on TV. As such, I have never heard of this show, but the central theme of murder informed by location was one that sounded interesting to me. That the chapters had been derived from episodes of a show was evident […]

What Is to Come Has Already Been Decided

The Angel Maker by Alex North

March 12, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Katie and her brother Chris have had a strained relationship ever since the brutal attack on Chris that changed their lives forever. Decades later, it might be too late to fix things when Chris goes missing. In this book, we are introduced to two separate mysteries that inevitably wind together – the disappearance of Chris Shaw, and the murder of Alan Hobbs – and the way that they come together made me exercise my brain and sometimes stretched my incredulity. I would hesitate to call […]

Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights Graphic Novel Collection #1 by Various

February 27, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Fazbear Frights Graphic Novel Collection #1 is a modern day R.L. Stine (a much more mature Goosebumps meets Fear Street). It is spooky, creepy, and clever. I am not sure why people like the games/videos/etc. (as I have never interacted with them, and only in the last year or so have heard of them due to my older nephew having gotten into them. Which trust me I really am unsure of why as this is not usually his thing), but this […]
