Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2322 KP) rated Puzzled to Death (Puzzle Lady #3) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

When Cora gets tricked into hosting a charity crossword puzzle competition, she worries her secret might come out. However, she has other concerns when a body drops. Another fun book, although the rushed ending wasn't as strong as it could have been.

Book Favorite

"It’s no secret that I love the game of golf. This is the story of an epic golf match held on one of the world's most fabled courses. But as much as it is a riveting account of a competition, it is also a probing work of history and sociology that uses golf as a window into a distinctive place and time."

Movie Favorite

"This was a new film for me and one I had long read about. The film is apparently an allegory about communism in Czechoslovakia. It is very funny and charming, particularly the beauty competition, which is at the heart of the story, and the fantastic unwillingness of the contestants. Milos Forman’s account of the making of the film was extremely relevant."

Rick Nielsen recommended The Beatles (White Album) by The Beatles in Music (curated)

"There are Beatles songs I hate - 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da' - but so what? England is where my brain was. I was always too chicken to move here: why would I want to be in competition with all these guys. It was always exciting to see what the Beatles would do next. The good stuff just can't be topped."
