“what the dead know” takes its title from ecclesiastes and is divided into several different time periods. the book starts in the present, flashes back to the disappearance and then reveals what happened to the parents of heather and her sister, sunny, after the girls went missing. this structure allows ms. lippman to dispense information sparingly, with the precision that is one of this book’s most satisfying features .

it’s fair to assume that ms. lippman would not be leading her readers through nearly 400 serpentine, carefully nuanced pages if heather bethany were heather bethany, pure and simple. it’s a sure thing that something is amiss. but what? this book is so well larded with small, potentially troubling details that any of its characters might be hiding something. starting with the so - called heather: ms. lippman quickly lets the reader know that this woman has lived under a series of assumed names. she also lets it slip that the tricky part of being heather is “not knowing what she should know but remembering what she wouldn’t know. ”

when the driver is arrested for leaving the scene, she eventually tells the police that she is heather bethany. the mystery is that in 1975, when heather was 11 years old, she and her 15 - year - old sister sonny disappeared from a local mall and were presumed dead. their disappearance always haunted the baltimore police department, but is this woman really heather, and if so, what exactly happened ?

what the dead know .
what the dead know, by laura lippman, is a mystery / crime novel centered around the disappearance of the bethany sisters from a shopping mall and the possibility that, 30 some years later, a woman indicted for a hit and run on the outskirts of the same town is one of those long lost sisters. the story is told through 3rd person omniscient point of view, and the plot switches back and forth between time periods: the present and the past leading up to the present. seems like an enthralling and susp
we know negan, played by jeffrey dean morgan (watchmen), will appear in the tail end of the season, and a leaked video from the walking dead set late last year reveals that his iconic moment from issue # 100 has already been filmed. this confirms we' ll get at least one big death by the end of the season .
as the contest progresses, katniss develops a relationship with the boy from her district. but not even she seems to know whether her feelings are real or faked for the omnipresent cameras .
ms. lippman usually writes installments of a series about tess monaghan, reporter turned detective. (ms. lippman is a former reporter for the baltimore sun .) these books are dependably solid, but the stand - alone “what the dead know” is in a different league. even in comparison with her “every secret thing” (2003), another stand - alone that overlaps slightly with this one in their plots about missing girls, the new book is exceptionally well executed .

later, she follows morgan and confronts him about what he' s doing, and later asks him who he is keeping inside .
laura lippman’s “what the dead know” is an uncommonly clever impostor story, so cagily constructed that it easily fulfills the genre’s two basic demands. first, ms. lippman is able to keep her reader guessing about the main character’s disputed identity until the very end of this book. second, when the revelation comes, it makes perfect sense, and it has been hiding in plain sight. this is not one of those mysteries with a denouement that feels tacked on, half baked or pulled out of thin air .

abraham joins glenn, carol and michonne in visiting rick after he wakes up from his injuries. they discuss what they' re going to do at deanna' s meeting about exiling rick. abraham then vouches for rick during the meeting by delivering a speech where he tells the alexandrians that they don' t know what they' re doing but rick does, showing abraham fully trusts and respects rick as a person and a leader .

laura lippman used to write for the baltimore sun, so she' s been an author i' ve thought about checking out for awhile. when i saw this title on a couple of
best / favorites of 2007
lists, i figured this was the one to try. what the dead know has a great title and an intriguing premise, but unfortunately, the story as written never clicked for me. i called it quits 97 pages in. it was neat to read about baltimore county as it was 20 or so years ago, but i never connected with any of the characters, and didn' t feel like investing any more time to find out what happens with them .
i hated heather bethany. and not just a little bit either. even though she had her reasons for her half - truths and lies, reasons that become apparent later, i still found it hard to forgive her. since much of what the dead know revolves around her, this proved a slightly difficult obstacle for me to overcome. yet, laura lippman proved up to the challenge with an engrossing story that spanned decades and bounced back and forth in time like a shooting star set on repeat. despite the back and forth ,

carol refused to attend sophia' s funeral, claiming that the dead walker was no longer her daughter, which angered daryl. back at the barn shane was washing up at a water pump when carol emerged from the forest, muddy and scratched. shane cleaned her cuts and apologized for what happened to sophia and claimed that if he knew she was in the barn, he wasn' t sure what he would have done; but he assured carol that he was only trying to ensure the safety of his fellow survivors .
later, morgan visits carol at her cottage covered in blood. she asks what happened to him and he tells her that he killed richard. he asks if she wants to know what happened at alexandria and she nods. morgan confesses that the saviors killed glenn, abraham, spencer and olivia. he explains that rick wants to fight the saviors, and that’s why he was at the kingdom. morgan prepares to go, intending to go after the saviors. carol chases after him and tries to convince him to stay at the cottage .
a middle - aged woman is involved in a hit - and - run accident. two teenage girls are abducted from a shopping mall, never to be heard from again. these are the two major events that propel laura lippman' s what the dead know, a disturbing novel of buried secrets and life' s tragic surprises. after fleeing a car accident, a middle - aged woman with no id is questioned by both the police and hospital administration. refusing to reveal her identity (and proof of health insurance), she instead hints that she

i was into this book a little ways before i remembered that i had heard this interview with the author on npr radio. the idea for this book is based on [ inspired by ] an actual event that occurred in a washington, d. c. suburb in 1975 when two teenaged sisters disappeared from a mall without leaving a trace or clue of what happened to them. the mystery of what happened to those two girls has never been solved. in this novel the author provides a scenario of what might happen if one of those missin

the walking dead season 6 finale is here, which means that we' ll finally get our first look at a brand new villain as well as a bloody confrontation between the alexandrians and the saviors. if you' re wondering how negan' s arrival on the show might play out, what you should expect, when to cover your eyes in fear, we' re taking a look back at the source material for some hints !
at the hilltop, enid is on guard duty when she spots gregory arriving in the car he took from gabriel at the sanctuary. he pleads to be let back in. maggie meets him at the gate and asks him what he' s doing back at the colony after what he did. gregory lies about finding the car empty, and arrogantly tells her that he built the hilltop long before maggie arrived. after listening to his pathetic cries, she lets him in. enid is shocked and asks her why after what gregory did, maggie tells her that he isn' t worth killing .
while maggie may not have been thought of as a great leader of a character when she was first introduced into the amc series, the walking dead, she quickly earned her status as one of the main characters of the group. one of her first appearances in the series involved her riding a horse and killing walkers in the woods so it shouldn' t have been a surprise that she had it in her to do what needed to be done .
carol and sam have an unusual relationship. carol threatens sam when they first meet telling him what will happen to him if he tells anyone that he saw her sneak into the gun room telling him he' ll be tied up to a tree and be eaten by the dead. sam then gets scared. when rick and pete get in a fight, sam runs behind carol for her to protect him .
i am amazed and thrilled by the formal sophistication and the emotional maturity of this young poet. while it is brave, and necessary, to name the names and the count the wounds of the boys who have been murdered, donte collins goes much deeper. they capture the trembling heart of the living boy as they walk through the world in their targeted body. “what the dead know by heart” takes us beneath the armament to the fraught existence of one who wonders “if the gun that will unmake me / is yet made; ” one whose survival is conditional on another’s death, “today i did / not die... the bullet missed my head / and landed in another. ” this is a voice to be encouraged. i look forward to reading donte collins in the future .

like i said ,
we find ourselves
slows things down a bit, focusing on character development we' ve seen on the show already. one thing we' ll probably see in the episodes following the midseason premiere is rick' s plan to rebuild the safe - zone, making the walls stronger and increasing security. the alexandrians will also warm to rick' s leadership. carter' s too dead to spark a coup at this point. (it was nicholas in the comics, who is also quite dead. )

the walking dead: everything we know about terminus, comicbook, russ burlingame, (april 3, 2014) .
they have a “church” where they honor the fallen terminants. it looks like a creepy altar, but they call it “the church. ” that’s where you can find the names and belongings of members of their community who have died. “and this right here is church. it’s kind of a memorial to our departed terminants, ” said andrew j. west, who plays gareth .
carefully sneaking into a church outside alexandria' s fences, enid and glenn search for weapons that may be hidden that they could use in order to save maggie. whilst searching, enid finds a bible quote on the church walls :
faith without works is dead .
this reminds her of the loss of her parents. enid asks glenn what he meant when he said if you run, you lose people, even after they' re gone. he tells her that she has to hold on to who she is to honor those who have made her the person she is. after, he tells her that her parents are not dead because enid is alive .
the walking dead' s season 7 premiere did exactly what it was supposed to do as far as answering the big question of who negan killed, and it was done in a truly unsettling manner, with both abraham and glenn taking lucille to the dome. rick was put through some mental torture from negan to further break him down to a point when the only option is obeying. it worked, for now, and the group is now a shadow of its former self .
he leans in, but pulls back, which makes enid smile. she tells him that he' s afraid of her too. enid claimed that she was afraid of carl to some extent, saying she didn' t know why .
during the town meeting, carol defends rick against deanna and continues her helpless act by revealing that she would be dead if it wasn' t for rick and that everybody should listen to what rick has to say. sometime later, rick turns up and brings along a dead walker that got into the town after the gate was left open. after he makes a passionate speech about what needs to be done to keep the town and everybody in it alive, pete enters the scene, armed with michonne' s sword. carol urges rick to not act straight away and see how it plays out. pete then accidentally slits the throat of deanna' s husband reg, who dies seconds after. a devastated deanna gives rick permission to kill pete, which he does without hesitation. just then, carol and the others watch as daryl and aaron arrive back into town alongside morgan, an old friend of rick' s from the early days of the apocalypse .
the sisters are equally well evoked, right down to the most seemingly mundane touches. in detailing their last known day together, ms. lippman presents a mall visit that is a superb feat of covert trickery. their itinerary seems so banal, and yet it holds the key to their future. they look at clothes and dress patterns. they run into an oddball music teacher they know from school. they sneak into an r - rated movie, which happens to be “chinatown. ” they have the usual kind of petty, sisterly spat. then they are grabbed by a policeman, and there’s no one but heather to explain what happened next. thirty - two years later all the remaining witnesses are either incapacitated or dead .
a quick and easy read with a plot that kept me genuinely interested in finding out what happened in the end. two things detracted though: 1) the characters felt like flat and two dimensional, and 2) i absolutely hate the gimmick of maintaining mystery in a story by having a character say ,
i' ll tell you what happened... but not yet ,
in order to draw out the suspense artificially .
the past year has seen the publication of more than a dozen post - apocalyptic young adult novels that explore what the future could look like once our unsustainable lifestyles cease to be sustained. (spoiler alert: it’s gonna be bad. )
when the rest of the group had already made it back to alexandria after the attack led by the wolves, people were starting to lose hope that glenn had made it out alive. it had been a quite a lot of time since they had heard from him and there were some that were presuming him dead. when people began writing the names of the fallen on the wall of alexandria, glenn' s name was listed. yet, maggie never gave up hope. what was the signal that made her instantly think that glenn had survived ?
in the world of the walking dead, it' s not like the characters are able to enjoy the simple things of regular life like they used to. so, when glenn was able to take a picture of maggie, it was actually a pretty big deal. carl once risked his life in order to get a photo of his family hung up at a local restaurant and rick knew that his family was still alive when the photo albums were missing from his house. what eventually happened to maggie' s photo ?
after maggie and glenn had their tryst at the pharmacy, things were a little tense around hershel' s farm. glenn didn' t seem to know how to act and maggie couldn' t tell whether or not she truly liked him or she was just falling into the arms of someone that was living. yet, all of her hesitance seemed to slip away once hershel voiced his concern about her getting too close to glenn. during dinner, maggie slipped a note to glenn. what did the note say ?
i hear a lot of people saying this is the best star wars film since the original trilogy. i' d say it' s the second best, after the force awakens, largely because it doesn' t capture what i think makes this franchise great and worthwhile .
ms. lippman: the parents, as you know, grieve in very different ways. the father makes his life a memorial to his missing daughters while the mother, who was already flirting with the idea of divorce before her daughters even disappeared, does in fact eventually end up divorcing her husband, leaving baltimore, and finally leaving the country .
unlike most of the recent dark visionary fictions, “the dead and the gone, ” a companion to pfeffer’s acclaimed “life as we knew it, ” explores an apocalyptic event not of our making: in the near future an asteroid hits the moon, changing tides and weather patterns so profoundly that human life in new york city becomes nearly impossible. seventeen - year - old alex morales must take care of his family, because his mother doesn’t return home from her hospital job in queens and his father is missing in puerto rico. alex and his sisters attend catholic school, and they all struggle with the complexity of faith in the wake of an unbearable (and for most, unsurvivable) act of god. what makes “the dead and the gone” so riveting is its steadfast resistance to traditional ideas of hope in children’s books — which is to say this is a dark and scary novel .
after everything is settled in alexandria, carl and enid travel out to the woods again. she wonders why they still come out here, as carl replies' because we' re kids, that' s what we do' .

i' d picked this up from reading the jacket information. sounded like a very intriguing work about missing children. the basic premise is, a woman in a car accident claims to be one of the bethany sisters, two girls who were abducted 25 years earlier and presumed dead. but is she, or is she pulling a scam? and if she is, what happened? unfortunately, this turned into a detective novel. it had a plot easily followed (though the woman' s character was oddly written, to say the least). but certain asp
fans of the book know all about the epic adventures that happen next... or do they? both of the previous films in the trilogy have been well - received by critics and fans alike, earning favorable ratings on sites like rotten tomatoes and hundreds of millions at the box office; however, not all tolkienites agree with the creative liberties taken by director peter jackson in the adaptations .
in an author' s note, lippman explains that the idea for this novel came to her two years ago, when she and some friends drove past wheaton plaza and conversation stopped because they all remembered the case of sisters sheila and katherine lyon, who disappeared there in 1975. she is quick to add that her fictional bethany family is nothing at all like the lyons .
what the dead know
is, in fact, a remarkable feat of the imagination. it contains echoes of other recent novels - - dennis lehane' s
shutter island ,
with its narrator who may or may not be reliable; alice sebold' s
the lovely bones ,
with its story of a girl' s murder; and martha grimes' s
the old wine shades ,
with its murder that may never have happened - - but surpasses them all in its ambition and depth .
in the book, bilbo hears the spiders talk when he puts on the ring, but it appears that' s just because he was too far away before. after taking off the ring, he later hears them say they' ll eat him, leave his bones in a tree and hang him upside down - - y' know, the usual spider stuff .

he continues. rick refuses, retorting that he was going to ask them for their stuff, but without having to kill anymore of them. rick announces that they will be leaving, but before getting back in the rv, he asks
what if it' s your last day on earth ?
what if it' s the last day on earth for you ?

maybe you should be extra nice to those people in that rv. because you never know .
this time ms. lippman writes like a warmer - blooded american ruth rendell, keenly observant and giving a faintly spooky charge to every stray detail. even as she expertly summons the minutiae of teenage girlhood circa 1975, it’s gratifying to know that the contents of heather’s favorite purse will have something to do with heather’s destiny .
ms. lippman: at the very moment i had someone showing up claiming to be one of the two girls. at that point it takes off into realms of its own because sadly the real - life case remains a total mystery, and the girls have never been found, and there are not even any likely suspects, as far as i know .

later, it is shown that carol completely disagrees and is annoyed with morgan' s philosophy of not killing people and appears to be highly suspicious of him as she follows him and denise to the cell where owen is being held by morgan and demands to know who is inside but morgan blocks her from entering .
amid this rising sea of dystopias, two books stand apart: “the dead and the gone, ” by susan beth pfeffer, and “the hunger games, ” by suzanne collins. while some young adult novels are content to read the way bad sci - fi movies look, both these books transcend their prem­ises with terrifyingly well - imagined futures and superb characterization .
when eugene reveals that he is not a scientist and doesn' t know how to cure the disease, abraham is furious and knocks him out. despite this, when eugene offers to drink water left in the road by aaron, abraham knocks it from his hand without saying a word, showing that he still somewhat cares for him .

still, …and you will know us by the trail of dead soldier on, and the simply titled ix finds the band pushing outside of its wheelhouse for the first time since their aforementioned mid - career bumps in the road. this time around, though, keely and reece find ways to experiment without completely abandoning their signature style. but first, the album kicks off with a quintet of tracks that are quite typical for the band. opener “the doomsday book” is propelled by a creative drumbeat, widescreen guitar riffs, and a soaring vocal melody that nevertheless stays within keely’s limited range. “jaded apostles” isn’t quite as successful, but another cool drumbeat carries the song through its somewhat repetitive guitar lines; the same could be said about the punkier “a million random digits
. reece’s hoarse vocals are a welcome change of pace on “lie without a liar”, but in this case it’s the interplay between guitars and drums that support a middling vocal melody. “the ghost within” finishes out the first half of the record with a standard issue trail of dead power ballad. it’s mid - tempo, features a lot of piano, and gets louder and louder as it approaches the end before fading away quietly .
this was a really good book that totally taps into the fears in the early 70s of kids being kidnapped. when a women is caught after leaving the scene of an accident, she claims to be one of two sisters who were kidnapped from a local mall 20 + years earlier. the book bounces around those 20 + years from several different perspectives while describing what happened to the girls and those that were left behind. throughly enjoyable, and while i figured part of the ending out before i got there, it was still exciting to read what happened to sunny and heather bethany and why .
his father’s son, robb believed that good would inevitably prevail over evil (and incest). unfortunately he also believed in backing out of arranged marriages. breaking off his betrothal to the daughter of walder frey sealed his faith, as walder concluded a secret deal with tywin lannister. result: the red wedding and lots of dead starks .

lippman' s plot taps into powerful emotions. the very uncertainty that is so awful for the parents is what makes the novel so gripping for readers. what happened to the girls? if the woman is heather, why has she not come forward in 30 years? where is the other sister, sunny? the woman knows a great deal about heather, but there are also hints that she' s lying, along with tantalizing glimpses of the ordeal she claims to have endured. the present - day investigation alternates with flashbacks to the bethanys' life before and after the girls vanished. as the book nears its end, the reader can imagine all sorts of outcomes - - and, happily, the one that lippman provides is a good one .
i want you to know that i' m real sorry for your girl. when i opened that barn i had no idea. if i did... everybody thinks that i am a... i was just trying to keep everybody safe. i had no idea she was in there .
i forgive you. i' m never gonna forget. it happened. you did it. you feel it. i know you do. it' s a part of you now. me too. but i forgive you. we don' t need to stay. we can' t stay .
i felt like i was drunk reading this book; every time i opened it to begin reading, it was like waking up from a black out. “where am i, what is going on”? a flashback every 20 pages; i was confused who was the narrator this time and what time period we were in now while reading. i also did not like the main character / missing sister. i didn’t sympathize with her; she was pretentious, rude, and treated everyone with condescension as if they owed her the world. even after she spilled the beans, i
you know, shell, i can teach you how to make pasta with your own two hands. but you' d have to promise not to smoke in the house. it' s just a disgusting habit, and it kills you. if you ask me, there are too many things trying to do that already .
scott gimple has been pretty faithful to the robert kirkman comics since taking over as showrunner, and i don' t see any sign of that stopping, especially with the latest casting news. so i' ve written up a roadmap for what' s to come in the bottom half of season 6 based on the comics .

the problem, i think, is that star wars has always still been about good vs. evil, and plainly so. even its most subtle and important battle - - - the battle for anakin skywalker' s soul - - - was still clearly about what was right and what was wrong. there was always hope, always the good guys vs. the bad guys. even in the prequels, when the jedi are not as good or just as they later become and the sith are not as clearly evil, the audience is still supposed to understand that anakin is twisted away from his destiny to restore balance to the force and toward something dark and power - hungry.
