Very knowledgeable. And as you work on your game, work to get better, your practice builds confidence, and confidence builds success. Not everyone reading the book will find that their favorite diva has been profiled. It's sure to involve every one of us on many levels in the future, and I'd rather bet my money on the boom side of things, and leave the bust side to someone else. I like the writing style of the author and her tastebuds and my tastebuds are similar. This was such a beautiful read. It would have been nice to see page references throughout the book accompanying the explanations and background-info. From her encounter with a pelagic octopus to the tense, inevitable demise of a pod of spinner dolphins when inconvenient winds trap them inside the reef, where they normally rest, but have no food, Whitty shares her sharp observations and insights, flavored with references to Hindu mythology (she hints at having a South Asian heritage) to try to explain states of mind that humans and some animals might actually have in common.Whitty concludes this astonishing work with an epilogue setReles went into an alcoholic tailspin after Joey's death, which led to suspension and then probation. This is a great read and promising series kickoff.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. From Publishers Weekly Three grisly deaths kick off Simon's fiction debut, a stylish noir thriller set in Austin, Tex., in 1988. . Now someone is sending parts of Nikki's body (she's nicknamed Dirty Sally by police) to prominent local citizens, and the Schate fatality looks increasingly suspicious. Though the novel is anchored in Reles's brooding, yearning narrative, Simon challenges the reader with myriad sharp asides that seem unrelated but ultimately fit neatly together. This last death is most significant to volatile protagonist Dan Reles, homicide detective and Joey Velez's best friend andWhat he uncovers behind the sordid street crimes is an insidious path of financial intrigue that leads a bloody trail all the way up to Austin’s wealthy elite.Dirty Sally is the explosive debut of a new series featuring Dan Reles as he searches for justice in the mansions and ghettos of corrupt, post-oil-bust Texas. A New Yorker by birth, police detective Dan Reles fled to Texas at the age of fifteen when his father’s "friendship" with the mob turned sour. Still reeling from his partner’s recent death, Reles is already on the edge and under scrutiny from internal affairs for his violent, erratic behavior. Now a member of Austin’s homicide unit, he’s the department’s only Yankee and its only Jew. From crack houses to the state capitol, Michael Simon does for 1980s Austin what James Ellroy did for 1950s Los Angeles. And after one taste of Dirty Sally, noir fans will be hungry for more.. But when a beautiful young prostitute is found brutally murdered and other bodies start piling up in her wake, Reles must track down the culprit before Austin explodes
