When the MP for Bootham East was fished out of the Thames, it looked like a clear case of suicide. But as the by-election for his successor got under way, some very murky political waters were stirred up. The local Labour party had been hijacked by the Looney Left, the Tory Party had a most unpleasant young candidate (with dubious City connections) foisted upon it, and the Alliance candidate had something nasty in his past he was trying to conceal. By polling day it was very obvious that the political suicide was no suicide - but murder.
The Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose (Audiobook, MP3)
The combination of this touching book and Brian Keeler’s deeply connected narration results in a life-changing audio experience that few people will forget once they hear it. Even frozen souls will be inspired to look with fresh eyes at their purpose in life and to chart a course that expresses that potential. Our daily choices only make sense relative to that purpose, and without one people are often driven to self-destruction and self-loathing. Instead of wallowing in fickle illusions, develop a solid purpose and serve it every day with intelligent and determined actions. A beautiful audio invitation to set some goals, and a heartfelt provocation to do something about them.
With the holidays over and the long cold winter looming, January can be a bleak month in Minneapolis. So what better way to bring a little cheer to the good people of the city than by sponsoring an old-fashioned snowman-building contest? In a matter of hours, a local park is filled with the innocent laughter of children and their frosty creations. But things take an awful turn when the dead bodies of police officers are discovered inside two of the snowmen - sending the entire department and Detectives Magozzi and Rolseth on high alert.
It is 1941. The horror and chaos of the London bombings are at a peak. Children are being evacuated in droves to the relative security of the English countryside.
Opera singers are often described as being larger than life, and certainly this is true of Gaylene Ffrench. Her appetites - for men, for booze, for attention - are gargantuan, and her ability to irritate is similarly outsized. So when someone electrocutes the bombastic Australian contralto, few tears are shed at the Northern Opera Company (though it's a pity her understudy's so lousy).
