Story
Returning home from a luncheon, Hercule Poirot is met at his door by an imperious woman who introduces herself as Sylvia Rule. "How dare you? How dare you send me such a letter?" Ignoring his denials, Mrs. Rule insists she received a missive claiming he had proof she murdered a man named Barnabas Pandy and advising her to confess her crime to the police. Threatening the perplexed Poirot with a lawsuit, she leaves in a huff.

I found this book to be captivating. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat and the narration was spot on, especially when it came to the voice of Poirot. I look forward to more of Sophie Hannah's books.

Story
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of 13 dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day, to whisk him away on a journey "there and back again". They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.

What a delight to here this wonderful tale narrated by Andy Serkis, the voice of Gollum in the theatrical production. He, of course, did a marvelous job creating the voices for all of the other characters in the story.

Story
Evan Evans is a young police constable who has traded in the violence of city life for idyllic Llanfair, a Welsh village tucked far away from trouble. Nestled among the Snowdonia mountain range, Llanfair looks to Constable Evans like a town forgotten by time, but he quickly learns that even the bucolic countryside has its share of eccentric - and deadly - characters.

I'm just a dumb American with basically no knowledge of Welsh history or culture, but that didn't prevent me from enjoying this delightful story. The characters we well developed and relatable and the plot had plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing "who dunnit" right up until the end. And the touch of romance was very tastefully handled, unlike so much of the smut that is out there today. I look forward to reading the next book in the series and am rooting for the school teacher to steal Evan's heart.

Story
General Stonewall Jackson was like no one anyone had ever seen. In April of 1862 he was merely another Confederate general with only a single battle credential in an army fighting in what seemed to be a losing cause. By middle June he had engineered perhaps the greatest military campaign in American history and was one of the most famous men in the Western World. He had given the Confederate cause what it had recently lacked: hope.

Story
If you have struggled personally against the powerful draw of pornography, or if you have ever tried to help someone fighting this battle, you know how hard it is to break free. But real freedom isn't found by trying harder to change. Nor is it found in a particular method or program. Only Jesus Christ has the power to free people from the enslaving power of pornography. In Finally Free, Dr. Heath Lambert, a leader in the biblical counseling movement, lays out eight gospel-centered strategies for overcoming the deceitful lure of pornography.

Best resource I have found on this topic. Bible-based and theologically sound. Avoids details that could cause someone struggling with moral impurity to be more tempted.
