Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

The Mystery at Lilac Inn
Salt of the Earth ★★★☆☆
A very well-written true crime, but the story itself just wasn't very compelling. The child and her murder seemed almost secondary. This felt, to me, more the story of weak, manipulative, controlling men and the women who enabled them. The author does a remarkable job of creating a sense of setting and character, though.
Audiobook via Audible. Very good narration by Kevin Pierce.
