"LOOK CLOSER" by David ellis.

The best book ever. It kept me hooked till the end.

[kermitkarmz]

“Look Closer”? More like “How to Get Away With Murder: Law Professor Addition”. 🫢

Simon and Vicky take revenge. Simon with the young girl, Lauren, that took all their money to help take care of his mom after a stroke left her wheelchair bound. Vicky after Nick took advantage of her sister, ultimately killing herself with Oxy, and he stole her money. Nick, or should I say Christian, tries his mastermind plan another time with Number 7- Vicky. What a unpredictable tale of events. 🎢 Revenge always comes back around. No matter how many years have passed. Patience is a virtue.

Change of Seasons

Although I’ve admitted that I love nothing more that to sit and read in the cooler weather, with a quilt and a cat on my lap, I have to say that the first really true days of summer are absolutely fantastic!  Going from a cold, rainy, and dreary spring into immediate sunshine and warmth just puts even the grouchiest people in a good mood (at least in my family! 😊).  Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for each of the four seasons…I just don’t like it when they each stick around a little too long. And as much as I love the sun, if I’m not in a pool somewhere with a cocktail or listing to an audiobook (or both!), then I don’t have a lot of use for it. Here are some of the reads I was able to squeeze in before pool water on my iPad became a very possible threat!

Pryor & Cummings: The GAIA Institute by Rod Pennington

A computer hacker sneaks is killed in a room while he’s by himself.  There’s no sign of people coming or going on the surveillance tapes, so how does this happen?  The police detective assigned to the case is very old-school, although he's teamed up with a younger, rookie cop, along with a retired K-9 dog.  Between the three of them and some solid leads from family and friends, they are able to figure out what happened, as well as who else is still in danger.  I requested this book on NetGalley because the idea of someone being killed while they are 100% alone was intriguing to me.  Unfortunately, the whole plot became a bit muddled, with a predictable ending to boot.  Not a bad read, but definitely not a favorite.

And There He Kept Her by Joshua Moehling

Two teens go missing in a small town, with no clues at all as to where they’ve gone.  When the police get involved, they really don’t have much to go on, but by a combination of chasing small leads and the process of elimination, they’re able to figure out where they might be.  That’s the good news.  The bad news is no matter how fast they work, they still might be too late to save them.  Something about this book grabbed me right away and kept my attention throughout. Although the story isn’t necessarily a new one (even the book title seems a bit overused), I liked the way the author introduced his characters, giving the reader the chance to try and see the various POVs from all angles.  I’ll read more by this author for sure!

Look Closer by David Ellis

Vicky and Simon have been married almost ten full years.  Ten years, and that’s when the restriction on Simon’s trust is finally lifted, meaning that Vicky will finally be able to access Simon’s money…all $21 million dollars of it.  But with both sides having some dark history, it’s not always clear who the good guys are and who’s going to get shut-out of that inheritance.  Like with the book noted above (by Joshua Moehling), the book title really isn’t all that much to go off of, so let me say the book does not disappoint. Not necessarily a new story to be told, but the author manages to tell it in a way that still keeps you interested and guessing right up to the end.  Another good one!

David Ellis Releases A Video For His 'Misty Heights' Single Alongside New Album

David Ellis is the artist behind the most intricate acoustic singles.  Baby She Roam and Eyes To The Sky are two initial tracks from his new folk based project. David has already received impressive praise from key tastemakers in the field: Clash, BBC Introducing and a personal hero, Devendra Banhart. Lead single, Misty Heights, is accompanied by a beautifully unembellished video that hosts a rose-tinted landscape. The scene draws attention to the reverie in which Ellis was under that inspired the dream world that eventually became: Misty Heights.  David Ellis has voiced his new sounds as a form of ‘pagan rock’. He’s a singer and songwriter that draws from an array of influences - folk, pop and the retro psychedelic sound of the 60s and 70s. David has utterly enjoyed playing with genre to refine fourteen stellar album ready tracks. Describing the track ‘Play Many Play’ (feat. Diane Birch on Piano) as “an observation of a free-spirited girl who lives by her heart despite the onslaught of judgments” and his beautifully sweeping ‘Seed of the Sun” as “a reflection upon a powerful ceremony where a Shaman stripped me of my ego and revealed the unity of everything,” this new collection fully sums up the whimsical and eccentric nature of David Ellis. Each track on this new release tells its own story and they each aim to reflect a powerful and poignant part of his own personality. Choosing to self-release this new collection, Ellis recorded Misty Heights whilst living next to the Byrdcliffe Colony in Woodstock in, what David describes as “an uncomfortable isolation far from the places and people of my normal existence”, where he sought inspiration from the surrounding forest and simple natured life. Adopting his acoustic guitar, violin, bongos, and bass, he has created an album that truly encompasses his deepest and most valued experiences, which also pays homage to the work of Donovan, Joni Mitchell and early Marc Bolan. Speaking about his new release - the title single of which came to him in a dream - David Ellis explains, “’Misty Heights’ is a world of imagination we all possess where one can escape in need of respite. A place where dreams and ambitions are realised, a place of stillness.” Ahead of David Ellis’ debut album, the new video captures David’s ability to gently mesmerise, utilising a quaint and curious musical style. The visuals are a graceful depiction of David’s dream-like musical universe - truly giving the viewer the ability to focus on delicate and well placed elements of David’s third release.
