Josie Moraine, the daughter of a brothel prostitute, is caught between the dream of an elite college and a clandestine underworld in New Orleans. It is a rich story of secrets, lies, and the haunting reminder that decisions can shape our destiny.

EadieB This is a character driven book and I especially liked Josie's character. Her mother was a prostitute but she was not going in that direction. The plot was one that led me to read the book to the sad ending. I look forward to reading more from this author as I really liked this book. If you like heartfelt books then you will love this book. 13mo

EadieB Preparing for his wedding and embarking on a writing career, he soon finds himself thrust into a real-life horror story. Richard writes a personal account of the serial killer reign of terror, unaware that these events will continue to hound him for years to come. This is a clever, terrifying and heartrending work of metafiction. It is a marriage between horror fiction and true crime. 13mo

EadieB The fact that this is made-up fiction is very shocking but very unique. I loved this book and would like to thank Richard for this overwhelming experience. I will definitely be reading another book by him. 13mo

TheSpineView Well done! 13mo

Jack Ruby: The Many Faces of Oswald's Assassin | Danny Fingeroth

pick

Jack Ruby changed history by killing Lee Harvey Oswald on live tv two days after the November 22, 1963 murder of John F. Kennedy. I was actually watching tv that day with my father and saw him pop out in front and shoot Oswald. They showed Oswald as they were in a hallway bringing him to another area of the Dallas police station.

EadieB Who was Jack Ruby and how did he come to be in that spot on that day? The book states that he was known by the police and a friend of the police so he probably had someone he knew let him in a side door. He was a crazy person who wanted to make a name for himself. He was a friend of the mobsters and ran a nightclub with strippers. 13mo

EadieB He was also known to be a friend of the FBI and ran numerous legal and illegal smuggling of arms and vehicles to both sides in the Cuban revolution. As he shot Oswald he yelled, "You know me! I'm Jack Ruby!' He was tried in Dallas and convicted of murder and ready to die for the murder. But he was re-tried in Wichita Falls, Kansas but he died from pneumonia, circulatory disease and cancer on January 3, 1967. 13mo

EadieB There is much talk about a conspiracy in the murder of Kennedy but nothing yet has come from The National Archives. In December 2022 they noted that numerous documents relating to Kennedy's and Oswald's killings are too sensitive to be seen. There are those who believe that the government will forever hold back any documents that would reveal the "actual truth". If you like true crime then you would love to read this book. 13mo
