A wonderful historical novel that piqued my interest to explore nonfiction accounts and a visit to the museum, as well as a variety of documentaries available on Internet. ~ Ann G.
A widow in an isolated manor house attached to a deserted airfield spots a ghost in her garden killing a man. In the cold light of the morning, no sign of death remains. Inspector Rutledge also suffers from "shell-shock": he hears the voice of a dead soldier constantly whispering in his ear. While hiding his PTSD from his superiors at Scotland Yard, Rutledge sets out to discover what is really happening at the old airbase. Thrilling! ~ Mary R.
Half Lives is an interesting history of Radium and the history of radiation in the 20th century - specifically in the UK. It starts with early experiments on the structure of atoms and research by Marie and Pierre Curie. The book then describes commercial attempts to use radium and radioactivity. "Radium-mania" swept the UK and people were crazy for radium products. Eventually, people started dying from use of radioactive products and the public's fascination dwindled. ~ David B.
Exciting thriller that will leave you not knowing who or what to believe. Are the narrators telling the truth? Who is guilty? What exactly are they guilty of? The ending will leave you guessing! ~ Linnea S.
