panThis would've been a good book if the author had focused exclusively on the arson case. It seemed as if she didn't have enough material to write exclusively on the arson, so she also wrote about everything else, spending two-thirds of the book writing about the entire history of the wine region. She should have stuck to the arson story, even if it meant writing a long article instead of a book.
pickThis was okay but hopped around a bit randomly. Interesting anecdotes, but strung together badly. Low pick.
Thank You @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 💕🐎📚.
1- Absolutely.
2- The first book that jumped to the surface is, Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann.

This is requiring a bit more concentration than I seem to have today, discussing some technical aspects of “plant anatomy“ (which makes sense as a term but isn't one I'd heard before) and similar, along with technicalities about acceptance in court of expert testimony.
May reading (I have about 60 pages left of Flamingo so I am counting it for May)
It was a lot of good not amazing books.

By the Book
so-soWhile I think the author wants us to see her as a brave whistleblower ( and she is), she must certainly bear some of the blame for the heinous things she describes. You don‘t live and work like that for so long without being complicit. Overall, I was deeply disappointed and often horrified at the ridiculous behavior and dangerous decision-making that results when ordinary people acquire an unimaginable amount of money and power.
Ever dreamed of leaving it all behind? Of packing up your bindle, strapping on your best walking shoes, and hopping on the nearest train to... anywhere but here?
At least now you can read the real stories of the men who actually did it in our freshly restocked Hobo Literature collection.
