Berlin, 1989. Miriam is in I've often wondered about the middle of story that patchwork quilting began as a city freshly united, with the Wall newly broken down way for women (and people able myth would have it that it was always women) to cross at liberty for the first time in decades. She is in the middle make an extra blanket out of such euphoria, but cannot feel it, for she has not left her father's apartment in weeks, nursing him as he lies dyingmaterial which would otherwise go to waste. One standard bed-bath, however, is very different, when he gasps the name This undoubtedly ''Friedadid'' that she does not recognise – happen but when you think about it, you need an awful lot of material to make a quilt and she sees for the first time ever a tattoo for his camp inmate identity under his watchcould have been better spent if all that was required was bedding. One bombshell outside, then, Like Thomas Knauer I've come to the conclusion that it began as an art and two inside. And inside her father, Henryk, what is going on, as he has a first person narrative alternating largely continued down that same road with her story? What will we find happened, as he remembers back to fluctuations in popularity over the real Frieda, a young woman that shook him to the core when he was her literature professor? That's right, more bombshells… years. [[The Rabbit Girls Why We Quilt by Anna ElloryThomas Knauer|Full Review]]

It's a strange family dynamic:3starCyril Conroy is distant and the closest Danny seems to come to him is when he goes out with him on a Saturday collecting rents from properties the family owns. Elna Conroy is loving, but absent increasingly often until the point comes when the children are told that she will not be returning.

Germany is split. Some of her is in favour of Hitler and the Nazis, but much isn't. Some of her is stuck to the east fighting the Soviets, but some will soon have to be on the other front, against the Americans coming into the continent to put things right as they see it. Finding out that the war to the east isn't working, due to Hitler's tactical ineptitude and inability to heed advice, some people reckon Stalin is five seasons away from being in Berlin. The only way to shore things up, and repair the splits, is to kill Hitler, and luckily the Baron Nicholas is the man to do it. He's aristocratic enough, he knows enough people in industry, society and other circles of power, so once he's succeeded he might be able to keep a German presence in Europe. But will he still be able to keep the "predatory American capitalists" and the blatantly communist Soviets from meeting in the middle?

When we first meet DI Matthew Venn he's at his father's funeral, although 'at' rather overstates the proximity. He sees everyone - his mother and the preacher included from a distance - but he doesn't go it. He wouldn't be welcome. Those attending are part of the Barum Brethren and the teenage Matthew was thrown out when he told the congregation how wrong they were in their beliefs. It coincided with him leaving university and joining the police force. The announcement of Matthew's marriage to Jonathan Church was in the local paper and whilst he doesn't know if his father saw it, he can't imagine that it will have gone down well.

[[image:3This is a deep, interesting read unlike any book I've read in quite some time. The novel's story follows a young man named Ash in the process of joining a community of sick people in the curiously named town of Snowflake, Arizona. These people are sick, but it's not a sickness you've heard of. Instead, they're environmentally ill – affected by household chemicals and fabrics, pesticides, static electricity, and radiation – and their only ''cure'' is to stay in the town away from the real world. Though it's about a real place, the people in it are fictional.5starIt really is a place apart, quite literally cut off from the outside world – people are even required to decontaminate themselves thoroughly before becoming fully integrated.jpg|link=Category:{{{rating}}} Star Reviews]] [[:Category:CrimeSnowflake, AZ by Marcus Sedgwick|CrimeFull Review]]
When council officer Chris Buckley is approached by an old man who wants his help in healing a decades' old family rift he's reluctant to get involved, but then Chris is reluctant to get involved in anything but a pint in the pub these days. It could just be the way that he is, or the fact that he's just lost both his parents within three months of each other. He's currently existing in the family home and wondering when he's going to be made redundant from his job with the council. The short answer to that one is 'soon'. Chris does his best to deter the old man, but it's not before he's left a lot of papers with his neighbour. Then the old man is murdered and the police come calling on Chris.
