Jane wants to be rich, but also secure and respected. She tells the reader (Jane narrates in first person, present tense) very early that Jane is not her real name. She has a bit of a kleptomania problem and a desperate need to erase her past. In this contemporary take off on Jane Eyre, Jane is a dog walker for people in the rich neighborhood of Thornfield Estates. The Wife Upstairs is not a romance novel, that’s for sure, and it’s not lyrically written, but it has a masterful grasp of character and plotting and it zips right along as any good thriller should, leaving the reader madly turning pages instead of, say, emptying the dishwasher is which what I should have been doing while I finished the book instead. The Wife Upstairs is hard to review because how it works on its own and as an adaptation depends on the many twists that unfold throughout the book. I wrote a short book called Pride Prejudice and Popcorn: TV and Film Adaptations of Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, and Jane Eyre, in which I concluded that any adaption can work as long as it stays true to the themes and characters of the source material. Jane Eyre is in my top ten favorite books and I’m very protective of it. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. Henry James, OM (1843-1916), son of theologian Henry James Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, was an American-born author, one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction. Is it a subtle, self-conscious exploration of the haunted house of Victorian culture, filled with echoes of sexual and social unease? Or is it simply, 'the most hopelessly evil story that we have ever read'? 'The Turn of the Screw' is probably the most famous, certainly the most eerily equivocal, of all ghostly tales. But are the appearances what they seem? Is what appears to the governess a ghost or a hallucination? Who else sees what she sees? The reader may wonder whether the children are victims of corruption from beyond the grave, or victims of the governess's `infernal imagination', which torments but also entrals her? Like the other tales collected here - 'Sir Edmund Orme', 'Owen Wingrave', and 'The Friends of the Friends' - 'The Turn of the Screw' is to all immediate appearances a ghost story. It is Peter Quint, the master's dissolute valet, and he has come for little Miles. She sees the figure of an unknown man on the tower and his face at the window. A young, inexperienced governess is charged with the care of Miles and Flora, two small children abandoned by their uncle at his grand country house. Even as Alexa throws herself into her training and tries to avoid Clare all together, nothing seems as important as getting to know her.

Clare Ghimmel has dreams of being an artist, but when her mother dies suddenly, her father decides it's the perfect time to move out of the city and across the country to her mother's hometown. Yet there are even more sinister forces at work, as the great detective faces a challenge so fearsome and deadly that his career may be over almost as soon as it has begun. Sherlock Holmes, in the infancy of his detecting career, deduces a connection between these sinister “shadows” and an Oriental drug lord who is bent on expanding his criminal empire.

Brief Summary of Book: Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows (The Cthulhu Casebooks, #1) by James Lovegrove It’s a motto that “Harriet the Spy” author Louise Fitzhugh could have called her own. Her main takeaway is that “sometimes you have to lie” to keep people from hating you. In the end, her clever takedowns land her a blockbuster gossip column in the school newspaper. She’s also not very nice: She throws tantrums, hides a frog in her frenemy’s desk and refuses to apologize when her classmates discover the disparaging dossiers she’s written on them. She’s mostly a gossipmonger, obsessed with chronicling the people around her and figuring out what makes them tick. Welsch does not solve mysteries, like that goody-two-shoes gumshoe Nancy Drew. She snoops on her neighbors - sneaking into dumbwaiters and scaling the roofs of apartment buildings - while jotting down shockingly frank observations, like “DOES HIS MOTHER HATE HIM? IF I HAD HIM I’D HATE HIM.” The 11-year-old heroine of the 1964 classic “ Harriet the Spy” is a street-smart tomboy who galumphs around her Upper East Side neighborhood in ratty jeans and a hoodie.
