Interesting story

Change the attitudes

Don't read this up expecting spreadsheets and investment tips — it's really about your relationship with money rather than the nuts and bolts of managing it. The central idea is simple but worth sitting with: money itself doesn't

Nice read

This was a pleasant cozy mystery where the village atmosphere and character relationships really shine. Sure, the police procedures aren't realistic—no real detective would involve an amateur like Claire the way Harry does—but that doesn't m
