Maybe the pocket watch in its casing was the inspiration for the pocket watch in this book!

I‘m always amazed when a writer can make such a suspenseful story when the reader already knows the ending.

The mysterious golden sky orb shining…on a *Saturday*! Naturally I had to take this rare opportunity to read outside for a change. 😀☀️

4.5 ⭐

Erik Larson writes well researched books. When I read a book that he has written I know that I am going to get well researched, well written book that will transport me to whatever the year or years the book includes. I can vividly see myself there.

I really enjoyed this book, my first by any of the three authors! I‘ve been very interested in the sinking of the Lusitania since reading Dead Wake last year, and this book was like the perfect treat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

❤️❤️❤️

“Dead Wake” by Erik Larson is an exhilarating journey through history, written with the finesse of a master storyteller akin to Tom Clancy, Ian Fleming, or Robert Ludlum. Larson skillfully navigates between the roles of hunter and hunted, immersing readers in the heart-pounding suspense of the era.

Back to some good old non-fiction. This Erik Larson book has been on my TBR List for some time. Bon voyage!
