 This was a fun, twisty, keep turning the pages thriller about a bookseller that once wrote a list of eight perfect literary murders. The FBI comes knocking when people start turning up dead. Smart and addictive! |  A young woman in India is mistaken for a terrorist and must rely on a former teacher and friend to reveal the truth and gain her freedom from prison. Powerful forces are in place, however, that influence the moral and ethical choices made by her would-be liberators. A powerful commentary on justice and class. |  Some just out-wit, out-smart, out talk others, out perform, and some "sit quiet and refuse to be agreeable". Many just don't give into self-doubt and second-guessing and proceed through life with verve and conviction. I would have loved to met them all! Each little vignette is filled with wit and insight and such fun to read. |
