Great story that you may have heard of before. Basically it's about how you let something that you obsess over destroy you. In other words don't chase the damn whale!

How come we were never told about Mrs. Lincoln? I have to tell you I agree withe the review about Kimball's lack of history. I graduated with the class of '76(last class was '77) and I doubt, given the original ssetting that a lot of the video I saw on Syracuse PBS was authentic. However, I do collect all things "Fanny Farmer related" and do know that one of the reasons she standardized measurements was her polio- it was just easier for her.

As Usual Aggie finds herself in trouble again.  She has a brand new condo that is decorated not to her liking and she soon finds herself investigating a haunting, a homicide and a new man in her life.  It is very funny in places.  She's up to her usual snooping shenanigans.

I love, love, love Betsy Johnson jewlery. The whimsy and creativity is what I love best. I like to mix and match all her pieces so these are perfect. And a pink flamingo?

It's been a long time since I have seen a new Dorothy Martin book out, and I was pleased to see this one.  I don't believe it is quite up to the earlier ones, but I loved it!  Dorothy and her husband are amazing.  She is certainly becoming more British!  They use common sense (and a lot of luck) in solving the mystery.  It is a good, quick read.

It was interesting to see the First Ladies interacting on a day to day basis with their staff. A new light is shone upon each one, and a much different picture appears. These women were so different, yet so much alike, in their determination to bring dignity and organization to the White House, yet maintain a home for their families at the same time. Sad to say the current First Lady does not seem to have the same sense of tradition as her predecessors.

As a beginning teacher, I was excited to see that all student behavior could be reduced to 117 simple cards. I was ready for the do-nothing, the lollygagger, and the mothballer. Unfortunately, the scrapper mixed up the deck, and now I can't tell the naughty Nancies from the Polite Petes. HELP!!!

I got this as a lark for for my wife. I think she is an individual with quirks like the character in the book. I wish we all could be as sure of ourselves.

I enjoyed the mystery, but kept wondering if this gal would make it out alive. Her relationship with the daughter and husband could have bee developed a little more.

If there's anything good about a disiplinarian TB institution in the 30s (not 40s), it's the opportunity to meet so many different kinds of people. Macdonald is an observer and nailer of people's quirks on a level with Dickens (both of them, Charles and Monica). I love this book. There's one thing I would like explained, though. American readers talk as if Macdonald's "racism" was an understood and obvious thing. I see no racism in this book. OK, she calls somebody "coloured" and another girl "black". She also mentions that her roommate is Japanese and her workmate an Eskimo. Is she racist for not using today's PC terminology? She praises the institution for accepting everybody and mixing them together. She quotes some racist comments from other patients, but doesn't say she condones them, in fact "Betty" in the book answers back and disagrees. Please, please, somebody tell me why it is currently PC to say Macdonald is racist?

Oh my, can Darcy get into a bigger mess and can Lady Catherine and Wickam be any more evil?  This is a situation where Darcy is forced to marry Miss Wrong to protect the family and then Miss Right comes into his life (Elizabeth).  How will he get out of this mess and will Elizabeth ever become Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy.  Can you believe that Wickam and the evil wife are working for Lady Catherine...Oh yes.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah I love it when you talk dirty. Especially when you are also insanely funny. I look forward to seeing more of her on Amazon Prime (hint).

Having watched a Mrs. Raisin mystery on t.v., I thought a book might be in order and tried this one.  I was not enthused, but it had it's comic moments.  The book's Mrs. Raisin is a slightly manic character who tilts at every passing windmill with undisguised angry frustration, eventually hitting the right one, more by accident than anything else.  In the meantime she manages to be rescued by a menagerie of male associates who range between phlegmatic incompetence to blundering but well meaning goofs.  It might be a new genre: solving mysteries through emotional instability, or possibly Monty Python writes murder mysteries.
