It
is hard to believe 9/11 happened 15 years ago and now is being taught in
schools as part of our history. The young
people were not alive or too young to remember when this happened. This event will be remembered by all. For those of us who were here, it is a day we
shall never forget!!!! God Bless America!!!!

Review from
David Marshall James: "Harbour Street"
by Ann Cleeves
Top-shelf mysteries offer
much more than a bread-and-butter whodunit plot line. Rather, they're
strategically layered stories in which the major players seem, well,
mysterious. Any one of them could suit as a suspect, or as the next
victim, or else come tumbling forth with sordid secrets. Which is to say,
the reader senses that the author could take any one of them and place them at
the center of another novel?
Now, add a distinctive
investigator to the mix, and the author's pouring, metaphorically, top-shelf
sherry from a cut-crystal decanter.
Then, what's a British
mystery-- such as this sixth one featuring Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope
and her crew up in Newcastle, just a stone's throw from Hadrian's Wall--
without a tot or two of sherry? Up North, in Newcastle and environs, such
pouring out is mostly confined to posher quarters than Harbour Street, a
dead-end to the sea dominated by fisheries, a forbidding church, and a
seemingly out-of-place guest house.
Who would settle in
Harbour Street if they had an alternative? That's just it: Everyone
seems trapped, mostly through economic circumstances.
Thus, the late Margaret
Krukowski's prolonged residence in Harbour Street proves perplexing to DI Vera
Stanhope and her retinue of subordinates, who have put aside their "Secret
Santa" shopping to delve into her murder on a Metro train in the midst of
the pre-Christmas rush.
Vera & Co. must sift
through the sands of yesteryear in order to sort out the layers of Margaret's
past. Trapped in those layers are the fossilized secrets of the neighborhood,
harbored by people who have encountered the deceased, from the
"coven" of bony-fingered, judge-and-jury church women, to the
rouge-encrusted tart in fishnet stockings cadging drinks every evening in the
local pub, to the welcoming proprietress of the guest house, where Margaret
resided, baking shortbread for teatime.
Lucky for Vera that a
couldn't-be-fresher fish 'n' chips eatery lies just down the street, and
there's a nearby tea shop that carries enough assorted pastries to make Little
Debbie French-vanilla kiss the Krispy-Kreme delivery man.
Did we mention that Vera
fancies a bacon sandwich or two for breakfast, that she's a plus-size gal as a
lifestyle choice? Then again, slam-dunked pizza boxes, crumpled bakery
bags, and teeth-scraped (for the cheese, mais oui) hamburger wrappers are
occupational remnants for even self-professed lettuce-nibbling detectives.
Vera-- in the person of
Brenda Blethyn-- has transitioned from page to TV series. Nevertheless,
she seems past ready for the big screen. Something on the order of
Cinerama. Or maybe Imax.
