read: Close To Home (4 stars)

Close to Home (Tracy Crosswhite, #5)Close to Home by Robert Dugoni
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Robert Dugoni changes things up again in Close To Home, the latest entry in the Tracey Crosswhite series. This time she's investigating a hit-and-run death, rather than a cold case murder. We also dig a little deeper into the lives of her coworkers in the Violent Crimes Section and we take a trip across Puget Sound to the nearby Navy base and get caught up in a court martial that seems to be both a slam dunk and a railroad job. What's not different is Dugoni's skill at creating flesh and blood characters and vivid settings. He also weaves a gripping tale of mystery and intrigue.

Disclosure: Thank you to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for providing a free copy of this book in return for my honest review.

read: Window on Main Street: 35 Years of Creating Happiness at Disneyland Park (4 stars)

Window on Main Street: 35 Years of Creating Happiness at Disneyland ParkWindow on Main Street: 35 Years of Creating Happiness at Disneyland Park by Van Arsdale France
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A gem of a book for any fan (or former employee) of Disneyland, written by the Founder of Disney University, Disneyland's training program. All of the usual anecdotes from the early days of Disneyland are here, given added depth by being told by someone who was actually there. The author continues the story on through the early days of Disney World and EPCOT and the 1980s.
