In the tumultuous years of the Civil War, the streets of Chicago offer a woman mostly danger and ruin - unless that woman is Kate Warne, the first female Pinkerton detective and a desperate widow with a knack for manipulation. Descending into undercover operations, Kate is able to infiltrate the seedy side of the city in ways her fellow detectives can't. She's a seductress, an exotic foreign medium, a rich train passenger - all depending on the day and the robber, thief, or murderer she's been assigned to nab.

But he has a special focus on one subject - forensic analysis. A police scanner in his room clues him in to crime scenes, and he's always showing up and telling the cops what to do. And he's usually right. But when Jacob's small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob's behaviors are hallmark Asperger's, but they look a lot like guilt to the local police.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to. Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing—a dead man in the middle of her shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive. After calling the cops like any good citizen, she swipes the flash drive. Why? Because Vera is sure she would do a better job than the police possibly could.

Bookclub pick!
As teenagers in the late 1800s, sisters Charlotte and Phoebe were captivated by investigative journalist Nellie Bly's reported adventures. Never did they imagine Bly's expose of the deplorable conditions in an insane asylum would become relevant to their own lives. When their parents believe they have reason to commit Phoebe, Charlotte blames herself and devises a plan to rescue her older sister.
Goldengrove claims to be progressive in its time, implementing innovative treatments and using the Greek Muses as inspiration for categorizing the women's so-called ailments. The matron sternly asserts that "if God and science allow, you will be cured." As relationships and alliances develop, Charlotte discovers why her fellow inmates have been committed. While realizing not everyone's revelations are completely trustworthy, it becomes apparent that all that may be necessary to declare a woman insane is "the word of a man who stands to benefit and a doctor willing to sell his say-so."
Charlotte soon discovers that first finding Phoebe among the patients will be a challenge, not to mention getting her out. And so, Macallister masterfully spins a complex tale, with Charlotte eventually questioning whether there are some ways in which, in spite of its terrors, the asylum frees women from the demands of society's expectations; or, as the matron puts it " . . . unable to achieve the female ideal." With a bit of romantic intrigue and a lot of historical detail this novel will make for an engaging book club selection, prompting discussion about how far we have come, yet how far we have to go to achieve justice and equality for women and for compassionate mental healthcare.

Well, sort of. I went back and forth from audio to paperback, but I started at 3am, and just finished this thing. One hell of a book! I am deeply grateful that conditions have changed so much between 1888 and my own stints in psych wards a century later.

finished but... not a "wow'
Loved the premise of novel, it could have been So much better but fell very flat on various points. If your a lover of historical fiction this novel will NOT meet your expections. If your just a fiction lover who enjoys a non romantic drama, this is your cup of tea. Overall characters didn't make strong impact when I truly wanted to connect with them. The plot seemed very forced for last two hours. The performance was very well done.

Story4 out of 5 stars 126
On a sunny morning in late September, Shannon Blaine sets off for a jog along the rural roads near her home in Lake George, New York. It’s her usual a.m. routine, her “me time” after dropping the kids off at school...except on this day, she never returns. Is her husband lying when he says he has no clue where she is? Could Shannon have split on her own, overwhelmed by the pressures of her life? Or is she the victim of a sexual predator who had been prowling the area and snatched her before she knew what was happening?

Twelve times a week, 28-year-old Ella May Wiggins makes the two-mile trek to and from her job on the night shift at American Mill No. Two in Bessemer City, North Carolina. The insular community considers the mill's owners - the newly arrived Goldberg brothers - white but not American and expects them to pay Ella May and other workers less because they toil alongside African Americans like Violet, Ella May's best friend. While the dirty, hazardous job at the mill earns Ella May a paltry nine dollars for 72 hours of work each week, it's the only opportunity she has.

A grocery store manager by day, at night Grace uses her snooping skills as part of an amateur sleuth group. She believes the Lovelorn Killer is still living in the same neighborhoods that he hunted in, and if she can figure out how he selected his victims, she will have the key to his identity.

Story4 out of 5 stars 1,340
Moonglow unfolds as the deathbed confession, made to his grandson, of a man the narrator refers to only as "my grandfather". It is a tale of madness, of war and adventure, of sex and desire and ordinary love, of existential doubt and model rocketry, of the shining aspirations and demonic underpinnings of American technological accomplishment at midcentury, and, above all, of the destructive impact - and the creative power - of the keeping of secrets and the telling of lies.
