February 2, 2020 COWARD OF THE COUNTY

DEEPLY TROUBLED. Let me get this straight. Edward Boyle was sentenced to ONLY 19 years in prison for the rape and murder a young woman AS WELL AS  the rapes of five other women. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? IT GETS WORSE. In 1999 he was released only to be arrested again--THIS TIME--for sexually assaulting a 14 year old--where he was sentenced to 5 years in prison. He was then released in 2009 under --STRICT SUPERVISION--and rearrested again after missing sexual offender treatment and going out of range with his GPS tracking device. In 2011-- he encountered other difficulties when prison officials found out he was corresponding with yet  another 14 year old girl????? BELIEVE IT OR NOT--this MANIC was granted --SPECIAL PAROLE--on Friday. HELLO?? Does anyone else see something VERY WRONG HERE?? What about the victims and their families?? Will they ever have closure ?? Something is VERY wrong with the system if this SAD EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING --who has proven over and over again--THAT HE IS A SEXUAL PREDATOR--is let out of prison AGAIN--right here in New London County. Scary stuff. 

If you're looking to get your mind off the things that don't make sense in our world, then check out Amanda Quick's new book Tightrope. 

Set in the 1930's, Amalie Vaughn is a former trapeze artist who decides to reinvent herself in Burning Cove. She purchases an inn that just so happens to be cursed. Shortly after the inn opens, the first guest, Dr. Pickwell, is murdered by his own robot invention. Matthias Jones, rumored to be connected to the mob, is on the trail to discover the truth and locate the cipher machine that was stolen from the murder scene. Sparks fly between Amalie and Matthias after he books a room at the inn and enlists Amalie to help him find the truth. This book has several subplots, interesting characters and more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. It's also filled with mystery, suspense, and romance. At 320 pages--or a 3 mile run--it's a quick read for those times you just want to be entertained. Enjoy.
