Welcome to Litsy!

This was a good audio distraction because it is a plot driven mystery. It‘s always a bit jarring when the setting is familiar.

It occurs to me in retrospect the Latin motto in this novel was not lived by half the American eligible voting population. 😒 Act with integrity no matter how the chips may fall, including your own wallet.

I have an idea that this is what enduring love really means. Your memories of a girl at seventeen become as real and vivid as the middle-aged woman sitting in front of you. It is a happy sort of double vision, this seeing and remembering. To be seen this way is to be known.

When I checked this book out of my local library, I didn't realize it was two books in one until I almost got finished with the first story. The first story: The Jailhouse Lawyer involved a lawyer who became a public defender in a small town. She soon realizes that there is evil in the town.

Ex DA becomes criminal lawyer, takes on a murder case - the client did shoot and kill the person, it is a matter of how to defend him. Writing is good, it is just too slow (although introduction lets the reader know this is not like the TV dramas, it is more realistic and not as action packed). One person waiting for the ebook – I am happy to return it early and let someone else read it 😊
Make a great day everyone 😎

Here‘s my current read, in preparation for meeting my best friend in Michigan‘s Upper Peninsula (the book‘s setting) next month!

I‘m very much enjoying it and plan on watching the Jimmy Stewart film when I‘m done.

💙 I'm a small town gal. Grew up in a small college town in Illinois, then left to go to college in a different small college town in Michigan, and have been a Michigander ever since.
💙Anatomy of a Murder is set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where I reside, and the film was shot in the UP, too. (Highly recommend both)
💙Adding a bonus book: The Overstory by Richard Powers. He was born and raised in my hometown in Illinois.
