Voices in the Band
This unsentimental but moving memoir of bridges two distinct periods in the history of the AIDS epidemic: the terrifying early years in which a diagnosis was a death sentence and ignorance too often eclipsed compassion, and the introduction of antiviral therapies that transformed AIDS into a chronic, though potentially manageable, disease.
Faux Finish
After retiring from her position as Chief of the Police Investigations Unit in Columbia, SC, Molly May returns to her native North Carolina in search of a quiet life. In no time at all, just before Christmas, her quiet town of Higgins Grove confronts its first murder in decades. Molly is drawn into the case by a long-lost relative of the victim and by her inability to leave a puzzle unsolved. This is an old-time cozy detection novel with many clues, many suspects, and a surprise ending. As Agatha Christie said, Very are what we seem.

Their neighbour Russell remembers too, but differently - and he still loves Etta as much as he did more than fifty years ago, before she married Otto.
