Don’t Tell Me How to Die by Marshall Karp

Don’t Tell Me How to Die by Marshall Karp

Published by skeptic

In Marshall Karp’s latest standalone thriller, the boundaries between protective instinct and deadly obsession blur into a deliciously twisted moral labyrinth. “Don’t Tell Me How to Die” delivers a protagonist who will stop at nothing—literally nothing—to protect her family, even as her own moral compass spins wildly out of control. While the novel delivers knockout twists and Karp’s trademark sardonic humor, some readers may find themselves uncomfortable with just how far our “heroine” is willing to go. Plot That Pulls No Punches At forty-three, Maggie McCormick-Dunn has it all: she’s the mayor of Heartstone, New York, married to respected hospital CEO Alex Dunn, and mother to teenage twins Kevin and Katie. When she’s diagnosed with the same rare blood disease that killed her mother at the exact same age, Maggie doesn’t waste time wallowing. Instead, she embarks on a wildly inappropriate quest: finding her own replacement—a woman who can step into her life as wife and mother after she’s gone. But Karp’s story takes a breathtaking hairpin turn when Maggie discovers she isn’t dying at …

What Lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall

The Ghosts of Childhood Haunt Us All There’s something about the woods that calls to us as children—the shadowy paths, the whisper of leaves, the sense that anything might be hiding just beyond the next tree. For many, those childhood adventures fade into fond memories. But for some, the darkness lingers. In her adult thriller debut “What Lies in the Woods,” Kate Alice Marshall taps into that eerie nostalgia and twists it into a haunting tale of long-buried secrets and the lasting scars of childhood trauma. Like the best mysteries, it starts with a death – but the true heart of the story lies decades in the past, in the summer when three young girls played at magic and stumbled across something all too real. A Gripping Mystery Unravels Twenty-two years ago, Naomi Shaw and her two best friends Cassidy and Olivia spent their days lost in an elaborate game of magic and ritual deep in the forests surrounding their small town. They called it the Goddess Game, and for one glorious summer it felt …

A Christian Church in Malacca, Malaysia Credit: T RR, unsplash.com Vani Marshall grew up in a Hindu home in Malaysia. A few years back, she shared a story about how her Hindu mother ended up going to a church in Malaysia to encourage people to keep praying for their family members. She recalled the day she received a phone call from her cousin about how Vani’s mother had recently taken a bouquet of flowers to church. Knowing that her mother was a committed Hindu, Vani said that obviously, her cousin meant to say that her mother had taken the flowers to a Hindu Temple. The cousin said, no, her mother had taken it to a church. Vani, who still couldn’t believe what she had heard, called her mother to find out more. “Mom, Jenny said that you went to church with some flowers. Is that true? Was it a temple you went to?,” Vani asked her mother. Her mother replied that in fact she had gone to a church with the bouquet of flowers but …

I’m a fan of Marshall speakers, but I didn’t expect its 0 headphones to sound this good

I’m a fan of Marshall speakers, but I didn’t expect its $100 headphones to sound this good

Jack Wallen/ZDNET ZDNET’s key takeaways The Marshall Major IV headphones are available now on Amazon for $100 (retails for $150). These headphones deliver powerful sound, with bass and treble to spare and smooth, subtle mids, and can last for days on a single charge. Note that there’s no active noise cancellation, but you really won’t need it, especially if you crank your music to 11. I’m a fan of all types of music. When I’m not listening to classical music, I tend to veer toward harder bands and artists like Rush, Sevendust, Devin Townsend, Judas Priest, or I’ll take a goth turn with The Cure, Birthday Massacre, or Sousxie And The Banshees.  But no matter what I’m listening to, I want it to sound good enough so that I might break out into a bought of headbanging (yes, even to Mahler, Mozart, or Beethoven… come on, they were the original metal). Also: I test dozens of headphones a year, and these might be the best ones under $100 So, when I received a pair of …

Ark, one of England’s largest academy trusts, said Marshall had “indicated earlier in the year his intention to step down from the Ark Schools board to focus on other philanthropic and business commitments”. The trust claimed this comment was made during a confidential board discussion at the end of last year.

They said he also liked another post that stated: “There has never been a country that has remained peaceful with a sizeable Islamic presence.
