Review: The Death of the Detective

The Death of the Detective by Mark Smith
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

While I appreciate the author's cast of characters and lush writing style, the bleak, noir tone of this mystery is not my style.

Review: Ira's Shakespeare Dream

Ira's Shakespeare Dream by Glenda Armand
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A welcome addition to picture book biographies, this is a finely illustrated biography of Ira Aldridge, the nineteenth-century black American actor who pursued his dream of becoming a Shakespearean actor and rose to fame on the English stage.
