St. Martin's Minotaur, 2008

Probably the best in the series, and I've read them all
When I read the first mystery in the series several years ago, I commented that although it was flawed in several ways, the author had great potential as a writer. She seems to have finally come into her own with this addition to the series. One of my problems was that the author did not seem to be taking sufficiently seriously how compromising the situation was for the main character, ...

A useful adjunct to the reference shelf
Occasionally , to write in rhyme becomes a passion of mine. Sometimes, although inspired An elusive word is required. Usually, this book is then consulted But cannot be blamed for what resulted. As it happens, I didn't refer to the Rhyming Dictionary to write this particular piece of doggerel. But a more serious attempt at versification would have had me browsing through the pages. ...

To Darkness And To Death
I only recently became acquainted with this author and absolutely love her books. I have read all that are available in paperback and will continue to look forward to reading future books. I got hooked on mysteries by reading Agatha Christie when I was young and this author's characters and plots remind me of Agatha. Great reading.

Poignant Insights
The ancient observer's insights have stood the test of time. Some elements of human nature remain consistent regardless of the century or technology. Aristotle thought classification was important. In this work he sets forth a taxonomy for poetics. One of the more controversial statements he makes in this book is "poetry is both more philosophical and more serious than history." He doesn't leave ...

HarperCollins UK, 2007

Easy to Use
This is a great rhyming dictionary. It's got tons of words, and they're very neatly organized. The back half of the book is an index (organized in traditional A-Z order), so instead of sounding out the word you're looking for and trying to figure out what sound it's listed under, the index can lead you right to it. It also includes examples of rhymes from famous poets, right next to the sound ...

The Most Learned Woman in America: A Life of Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson
Anne M. Ousterhout
