I love mysteries such as Endangered where the reader is consistently second guessing everything and being wrong. I am often a bit wary of mysteries because I try, like most readers, to figure out “who done it” before the main character, and with Endangered, I didn’t figure it out who the Admirer was until Panda uncovered the clues. The novel moved at a quick pace as Panda tried to discover who the Admirer is, while her life spins out of control due to her own actions.

Review: I had heard only great things about Lamar Gile’s latest book so I had high expectations and they were surely met. and everyone else on the Admirer’s hit list. And she may need to step out of the shadows to save herself. Dare.īut when the game turns deadly, Panda doesn’t know what to do.

The famous ballad from the late 19th century has lived on in popular culture and been quoted in famous works, such as the cult novel "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess from 1962. Based on Wilde’s own experience in prison, the poem contains details that do not judge but simply describe, in poetic terms, that which both horrifies and moves. "Yet each man kills the thing he loves / By each let this be heard / Some do it with a bitter look / Some with a flattering word/ The coward does it with a kiss, /The brave man with a sword!" Oscar Wilde’s poem "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" depicts an execution and the harsh circumstances of life in prison.

He remembered what he had read before falling asleep-a book about magic. He rubbed his cheek, feeling multiple imprints of the page’s wrinkles in his tanned skin.
