STOP THE VIOLENCE. When reading about Devin Kelley earlier this week, I couldn't help but notice similarities between him and Adam Lanza. BOTH had SERIOUS known psychiatric problems that went untreated. BOTH had families that "accommodated" their mental conditions. BOTH threatened others with violence AND STILL had access to guns. BOTH were TICKING TIME BOMBS. BOTH left a trail of bread crumbs a mile long. Kelley actually broke into an Air Force base with a gun to carry out death threats in 2012. Lanza ACTUALLY belonged to a cyber-community of MASS murder enthusiasts where he frequently commented on his obsession with Columbine and even stated, "Serial killers are lame....mass school shootings are where it's at." I wonder how many of his CYBER friends knew he planned a mass shooting?? THIS IS INSANITY. I know it's a slippery slope but--MAYBE--JUST--MAYBE--individuals with mental health issues and violent tendencies should be identified by the Federal government. I know I'm opening a can of worms. I know that can turn into a witch hunt but we have to end the SENSELESS violence that is becoming second nature in our society.
Chief Superintendent Armand Gamache of the Surete du Quebec, also wants to save lives in Louise Penny's newest novel Glass Houses. If you've read my blog before, then you know that I'm a huge fan of the Gamache series. Couldn't wait to read lucky thirteeen! In this installment, it's fall in Three Pines, the community has just celebrated Halloween but one of the guests refuses to leave the party. He appears the next morning on the village green dressed in black. He stands statue-like for several days refusing to move. He seems to be haunting someone. To the relief of everyone, he finally disappears one morning but not before someone is murdered. Gamache and his crew are called on to investigate. Who was the figure in black?? Did he murder the victim before he left Three Pines?? Was it a set up?? Who was the victim?? What does the murder in Three Pines have to do with the largest drug dealer in Canada?? Find out the answer to these and other questions when you read this great mystery for yourself. It's about 390 pages--or a 5 mile--that is impossible to put down.
