Rachel Reviews: Shrewd Little Sleuth by Scott Leckie
This was a truly intriguing read. Firstly, because of the person about whom the book is about: Arthur Bernard Leckie. He was a prominent figure in Hoover's FBI with links to Marilyn Monroe and, like the famous film star, died suspiciously. I mean, if that doesn't grab your attention, then I don't know what will, especially if you love a conspiracy theory.

Rachel Reviews: The Light in the Invading Darkness by Daniel Big Plume
You have to admire Daniel Big Plume's vision in this book. I felt like it could have been more than one really, such was the content of it and the scope of the action. That said, this is cohesively written with a clear purpose and was really enjoyable with tension and tragedy throughout and the narrative moves at the right pace towards a satisfactory conclusion.

Rachel Reviews: Lost Letters by Tom Hapgood. Top Story - September 2025.
Tom Hapgood's book is a lot of things. It has history, both twentieth century and prior; it has youth and the coming-of-age; it has, through its characters' situations, a discussion of the health concerns that can encroach as life continues inexorably towards death; and it has the secrets that lurk in the family vault, just waiting to be uncovered and brought to the surface.

Rachel Reviews: Time Lines by Guilio A. Savo
I've just finished reading Time Lines and I have to write my review straightaway in order to capture my mood and my thoughts on it. I can honestly say that I have never read anything quite like this and I'm not sure that I am going to be able to relay my awe sufficiently at Savo's vision and the way that he has managed to craft it into a book, enough to do it justice, but I will try.
