“Don’t ever go to Amsterdam,” Yoel Blum’s mother warned him strenuously. But as an internationally best selling author whose book was recently translated into Dutch, it seems a trip to Amsterdam is suddenly inevitable. And, after all, his mother died years ago. So Yoel and his wife board the plane and fly there from Jerusalem.
In Amsterdam he will discover the secret that his mother never wanted him to know, a secret that goes all the way back to his infancy in the middle of a world war. And of course, being a writer, he will be compelled to write about it.
This was a good book that gave me a lot to think about.

Fiction by Anita Waller
Recent widow Clare is more than willing to help her best friend and neighbor Vic when Vic reveals that her husband Rob is abusive. But when Rob turns up dead not long after Vic's departure, the police are looking closely at Vic and Clare...
This was a pretty good story but not great. I was kind of disappointed by the ending.

Fiction by Nicole Trope

This was an exciting (although a little anxiety-producing) story with a surprise at the end.
Nonfiction by Emi Nietfeld
This was a really interesting memoir about a girl with seriously messed-up parents who saw an Ivy League education as her way out.
About the title: Emi's goal is college acceptance while every psychiatrist and social worker tell her that she must accept her limitations.
I for one am very glad she didn't listen to the nay-sayers and instead made education her goal. Still, she doesn't sugarcoat the struggles she still faces and the fallout from her past.

Amazon Prime Kindle Fiction by Charlie Donlea
Rory Moore is a forensic reconstructionist; she can solve cold case murders that have baffled police detectives. She's also an antique doll restorer and a nominal partner in her father's law firm, but mostly she's a person who doesn't really like people.
Angela Miller was another such person; she suffered from acute social anxiety and could barely tolerate the presence of others, but she too had a talent for seeing patterns and was trying to solve the mystery of a serial killer in Chicago.
This book follows both Angela in 1979 and Rory in 2019 as separate stories that the reader knows will somehow intersect. It was a good mystery with some surprises.
Fiction by Cammie McGovern
Jemma Phillips has always defined herself in relation to her older sister Rozzie. Jemma seems to be in her sister's shadow, especially after Rozzie becomes a famous movie actress. But then Rozzie goes blind and needs Jemma's help.
This was a really good character story about the bonds between sisters. I liked it a lot.

Fiction by Charlie Donlea.
At the beginning of this story, an intruder breaks into a home in the middle of the night and shoots a sleeping couple in their bed. Then the pair's young son is awakened and startles the killer, who shoots him as well. The house is left with only one survivor, teenaged Alexandra Quinlan, sitting in terrified shock with a shotgun in her lap as the cops swarm the place.
The authorities assume that Alexandra herself is the killer and arrest her immediately. As the poor traumatized girl is loaded into the back of a police car, news cameras are already rolling and her image is soon broadcasted everywhere. "Look at those empty eyes," a reporter says, and Alexandra's fate is sealed. Although she is eventually cleared of the crime, and indeed wins a defamation suit against the state prosecutor, the public will now never believe in Alexandra's innocence. Perhaps worse, the person who really killed her family is still at large.
This is just the beginning of an exciting story that I received from Amazon Prime's "First Reads" on Kindle. I recommend it!
