Where Does Your Favorite President Rank? Based on a completely new nationwide survey prepared exclusively for this edition of Presidential Leadership, two of America's most prominent institutions, The Wall Street Journal and the Federalist Society, explore just what it is that makes a president great and then rank each from best to worst. Now with updated chapters on Bush and Leadership in the Midst of Controversy, a wide range of eminent scholars, journalists, and political leaders evaluate the competence of our nation's chief executives, including that of George W. Bush's first complete term in office.From John McCain on Teddy Roosevelt to Kenneth Starr on Richard Nixon, editors James Taranto and Leonard Leo have collected a series of lively, provocative, and highly readable essays evaluating the terms of each of the forty-three U.S. presidents. Other contributors include Douglas Brinkley on James Polk, Melanie Kirkpatrick on Millard Fillmore, Jay Winik on Abraham Lincoln, and Lynne Cheney on James Madison. Fascinating and often surprising, the book reveals who was voted the most controversial and who was the most over- and underrated from the nationwide survey of liberal and conservative scholars, balanced to reflect the political makeup of the U.S. population as a whole. Presidential Leadership is a pleasure to read and an authoritative reference for every library.

Murder and Christmas Cheer!!!
Format: Kindle
Christmas is a joyous time of year and not a holiday usually associated with murder, but Benedict Brown serves up a classic British mystery, set in the 1920’s, with seasonal warmth, cheer and numerous deaths. This is the sixth novel in the Marius Quin series and, at the beginning of the novel, the reader finds Marius in a good place – he’s finally accepted that the war is over, his new novel is at his publisher’s and Bella, the woman he loves, is back in his life. At a Christmas party at Bella’s parents’ manor house, he runs into a white-haired lady, talking to herself. Adele Leach, “Aunt Addie,” says that she’d been to the police because a friend was in danger and, if anything happened to her friend, that she knows who her killer is, and then Adele rushes off. Quite soon thereafter, Adele is found dead and the police attribute her death to natural causes: She was in her 80’s and had a weak heart. Marius and Bella know better and go to Holly Village, where Adele lived, to investigate. Of course, more murder follows and the duo satisfyingly reveal the culprit, and the end of the novel is filled with Christmas cheer, reminiscent of A Christmas Carol by Dickens. The plot keeps the reader guessing, but what really appealed to me was the setting. Holly Village is right out of Dickens and is a real village which was built during the Victorian time, with twelve-dwellings, each with turrets, towers and gargoyles, located in the heart of London, next to Highgate Cemetery (an appropriate setting for a murder mystery)! I totally recommend this new Christmas novel by Benedict Brown.

An Old Prof's Delight
Format: Kindle
All of Mr. Brown's Marius Quin mysteries are interesting and thoroughly enjoyable reading. The characters, especially the main ones--Marius, Bella, and Percy--are among my all-time favorites, and that after more than 65 years of reading mysteries (started when I was 16)! I highly recommend "Holly Village," for Christmas or otherwise, and impatiently await the next book in the series.

I love this series so much!
Format: Kindle
It's not Christmas time without a Benedict Brown Christmas book! I love this series and I love how the characters are maturing/coming into their own. Marius and Bella are amazing and their banter is always top notch. I have read every single book this author has written and he still surprises me with his twists and who done it! The ending of this one was super emotional, I had tears during the reveal! I cannot wait for the next! Especially with the promise of big leaps in certain plot lines! Pick up this series, it is A++++ reading.

still loving the series!!
Format: Kindle
I’m a fan. Marius and Bella feel like friends now. But somehow the story took some time to build up; although I understand Bella’s torments and emotions need to be dealt with… I’m looking forward to the next one in the series!!
