Book excerpt: Through the luxury settings of Atlanta, the criminal underworld, and (not to overlook) the various eateries and human basic appetites for delicacies and meals, the author weaves an interesting tale that goes beyond a mere murder mystery riddle. All of the characters reveal their true selves in their own sexuality, backgrounds, and social positions, whether expressing natural human passion, appetite, or wrestling with their inner conflicts. Despite being a minor force behind the propagation of the murder mystery, the plot's plethora of characters, including Rudy with his subtle fatherly relationship with Jack, Cindy, Jack's sexual interest, as well as Turner and County Sheriff Lawson (aka Hiker), the ideal professionals and boon companions, provide enrichment to the plot with their unique presence and personalities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reunions are great. Especially if everyone makes it home alive. After twenty years living in France, Maggie’s proud of her language skills and her ability to adapt to a foreign culture, so when four women from her Atlanta high school invite her to get together for a mini reunion in Paris, Maggie can’t wait to show them how she’s changed. Unfortunately, after two awkward days and a miserable Seine River tour Maggie realizes what she should have remembered—three of the four girls were never really nice to her in high school—and the fourth one didn’t know she existed. Everything changes dramatically however, when, on the morning that Maggie decides to leave early, one of her friends is found brutally murdered in her hotel room. The police suspect the killer is one of the four surviving friends with Maggie’s name topping the list. Determined to prove her innocence, Maggie plunged into the secret pockets and hidden quarters of Montmartre and the nontouristy parts around the Sacre Coeur to find out the truth. In the process she discovers that each of her friends had reasons for wanting Christy dead. As suspicions deepen and tensions rise, what started as a fun reunion in the City of Light, becomes an intense game of life-and-death as Maggie races to unmask the killer and the decades-old secret that drives her—before she kills again. Murder in Montmartre is a riveting international whodunit about the snarled perceptions of old friendships, and the treasures - and tragedies - that can arise when a terrible past that won’t die collides with the lies of the present.

Download or read book The Postsouthern Sense of Place in Contemporary Fiction written by Martyn Bone and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For generations, southern novelists and critics have grappled with a concept that is widely seen as a trademark of their literature: a strong attachment to geography, or a "sense of place." In the 1930s, the Agrarians accorded special meaning to rural life, particularly the farm, in their definitions of southern identity. For them, the South seemed an organic and rooted region in contrast to the North, where real estate development and urban sprawl evoked a faceless, raw capitalism. By the end of the twentieth century, however, economic and social forces had converged to create a modernized South. How have writers responded to this phenomenon? Is there still a sense of place in the South, or perhaps a distinctly postsouthern sense of place? Martyn Bone innovatively draws upon postmodern thinking to consider the various perspectives that southern writers have brought to the concept of "place" and to look at its fate in a national and global context. He begins with a revisionist assessment of the Agrarians, who failed in their attempts to turn their proprietary ideal of the small farm into actual policy but whose broader rural aesthetic lived on in the work of neo-Agrarian writers, including William Faulkner and Eudora Welty. By the 1950s, adherence to this aesthetic was causing southern writers and critics to lose sight of the social reality of a changing South. Bone turns to more recent works that do respond to the impact of capitalist spatial development on the South -- and on the nation generally -- including that self-declared "international city" Atlanta. Close readings of novels by Robert Penn Warren, Walker Percy, Richard Ford, Anne Rivers Siddons, Tom Wolfe, and Toni Cade Bambara illuminate evolving ideas about capital, land, labor, and class while introducing southern literary studies into wider debates around social, cultural, and literary geography. Bone concludes his remarkably rich book by considering works of Harry Crews and Barbara Kingsolver that suggest the southern sense of place may be not only post-Agrarian or postsouthern but also transnational.

Download or read book Seeking Eden written by Staci L. Catron and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking Eden promotes an awareness of, and appreciation for, Georgia’s rich garden heritage. Updated and expanded here are the stories of nearly thirty designed landscapes first identified in the early twentieth-century publication Garden History of Georgia, 1733–1933. Seeking Eden records each garden’s evolution and history as well as each garden’s current early twenty-first-century appearance, as beautifully documented in photographs. Dating from the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, these publicly and privately owned gardens include nineteenth-century parterres, Colonial Revival gardens, Country Place–era landscapes, rock gardens, historic town squares, college campuses, and an urban conservation garden. Seeking Eden explores the significant impact of the women who envisioned and nurtured many of these special places; the role of professional designers, including J. Neel Reid, Philip Trammel Shutze, William C. Pauley, Robert B. Cridland, the Olmsted Brothers, Hubert Bond Owens, and Clermont Lee; and the influence of the garden club movement in Georgia in the early twentieth century.

Book excerpt: Detective Will Harrington is a handsome and charming homicide detective in the Atlanta (Georgia) Police Department. None of his extensive experience could prepare him for the bizarre sex crime that resulted in the murder of a divorced Atlanta heiress in a mansion in the wealthy and upscale Buckhead area of the City. The early investigation focuses on the ex-husband who is the prime suspect as a result of a divorce that was contentious and protracted. Under tremendous pressure from the Mayor's Office and some wealthy Buckhead individuals, the Police Chief needs an arrest and soon the ex-husband is indicted. When a second wealthy housewife is murdered in a similar fashion and the ex-husband has an alibi, the FBI gets involved with local law enforcement to form a Joint Task Force which may tie the murders to a serial killer from the Midwest. The killer is a sinister character both charming and evil and completely at ease with his debonair persona. However, the killer has lots of baggage from the past and the charming fa�ade ultimately gives way to the severely damaged personality that lurks within. Continued pressure from the Office of the Mayor complicates the investigation and puts incredible pressure on law enforcement. Local news stations also get into the investigative mode by pursuing their own investigations. Competition between competing television news anchor women, the lovely and talented Esther Branch and her arch rival and equally beautiful, Aretha Strong, creates interesting dynamics between the two since Aretha is having an affair with the Mayor and Esther gets involved in a relationship with Detective Harrington. Nothing could prepare the newly formed Joint Task Force for the twists and turns of this fast moving and surprising case. When the Task Force learns about a secret and private "Garden Club," which is basically a swingers club for Atlanta blue bloods, the investigation takes an unexpected turn. The investigation is further complicated by the assumption by Aretha Strong that the killer may be female while the FBI profile clearly indicates that the killer is likely a middle-aged, white male. Follow the action in this fast-paced thriller which leads to an action packed conclusion with surprises waiting at every turn of the page. Readers will be surprised to find out who the killer is, but not until the final chapter. (c) All rights reserved. 2016
