Whether âWinterâs Deadâ is, strictly speaking, a genealogical exercise will up be up to the reader, I suspect, but when Detective Fletcher Strand realizes that a murder committed in 1924 has much to do with the spate of killings on his turf in 1990, a deep dive in to the family histories of more than one person, including his own wife, his world turns upside down.
A prime suspect is Eddie Snyder whoâs escaped from a state institution, and heâs out for revenge. Is he the one whoâs murdered two an old couple and two young boys? Why is he doing it?

Honestly, if I had time to read, I would re-read 1984 from George Orwell and The Handmaids Tale from Margret Atwood. They were both gloomy and kind of depressing to read still ⊠I think I read both books in the mid 80s. Somehow, I want to know how I think about them 40 years later. If we got closer to what seemed like, people would be too alert to let things like that happen.
Atwoodâs book was made into a movie by Volker Schlöndorff and Orwellâs by Michael Radford.
For some impressions there is a song of the soundtrack called 1984 by Eurythmics
The soundtrack of the Schlöndorff movie was done by Ryƫichi Sakamoto.
I wonât sugar coat it, these are neither easy to read nor to watch, but I wouldnât say that avoiding them should be the consequence. Sometimes I think it is necessary to leave the comfort zone and for once not for zombies, but zombies in human form. Gives you a lot of stuff to think about.

maybe I am wrong in my thinking, but here goes, now we have a Kindle, you can get free books, and doesnât waste space, BUT to touch, feel those said books, dog-ear the books, smell the books, it to me just isnât the same. I miss the physical books!!

I am with you 100%. I CAN read a book on my Kindle, but I much prefer to hold the book in my hand. I donât know about everyone else, but I often flip back to previous parts of a book to remind myself of things or whatever (like looking at maps in books that contain such), and itâs so much harder on a Kindle.
BTW, I picked up a book to read for the first time in a while. Itâs called âBy the Bookâ by Julia Sonneborn. Itâs a light, easy read so far.
UPDATE: Finished that book and also finished another: âVerityâ by Colleen Hoover. That was a doozie, in a good way. Finished it in a day because I couldnât put it down.
Thatâs two books in one week. I think it has been years since I have accomplished that.

I picked up a book called âThe Water is Wideâ only to realize a few pages in that I have read this before. At the same time, I donât remember at all how it turns out, so Iâm going to go ahead and finish it again. Itâs an easy read and not very long, so I should be done in no time.
