The Brutal Telling Written by Louise Penny

AT 503 pages you finally come to see
Olivier for what he could really be
The Brutal Telling
A tale of priceless treasures selling
A stranger found dead in Three Pines
Someone will have to pay the macabre fines
Meanwhile, Gamache is running out of time
Going back in the past is how he will solve the crime
In the Queen Charlotte Islands he must track
For the wood the slain man made was found in a sack
And each carving an intricate element of the pack
Of precious treasures the killer wanted to take back
Quite in contrast
All the details were made manifest in the past
And the killer was forced to act fast
Because he knew his deception would not last
In the end most of the town was in disbelief
While others felt a measure of strained relief
To get the hermit's treasure
He had to go to extreme measures
And in the end only resulted in eternal displeasure

Talking to Strangers Written by Malcolm Gladwell

This book commences with an introduction to the tragic confrontation between Officer Brian Encinia and Sandra Bland   The traffic stop that resulted in involuntary resignation for Brian and suicide for Sandra 3-days later while in remand   Brian’s actions were challenged in court and excuses and conjecture undoubtedly ensued   Trying to cover up inept behavior and inappropriate practices that lead citizens and the media to imbue   A sense of horror; to feel incredulous and appalled at the injustice that has transpired   How similar experiences could be reenacted across many states in such a highly esteemed empire   Gladwell inspires confidence through personal recollections, historical anecdotes, and scientific based evidence galore   To bring clarity to a disturbing but increasing phenomenon that even the most ardent Pollyanna abhors   He helps us to see that simple outrage does not suffice   Our response to such abuse of ...
