“Death in Dark Blue (A Writer’s Apprentice Mystery)” by Julia Buckley
Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as, describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read. I’m just saying…
I didn’t read the first book in this series, but, I was soon up to speed on who was doing what, why and where. The primary search for Sam’s estranged wife is solved, but the story is open ended when Victoria’s new-born daughter is kidnapped. A sure fire lead-in to another book in this series.

Here are some of the ‘take aways’ I noted:
“…Aging is not simply a period of decay, but a unique developmental stage that, like infancy and adolescence, brings with it its own demands and its own advantages… We need not stumble, stooped and passive, into that good night. We can live it up!”
“ Our choices about how we raise our children in their first years will have a far greater impact on what their lasts years look like than we might previously have recognized…”
“…It is the interactions among genes, culture, and opportunity that are the biggest determinants of the trajectory our lives take.”
“…curiosity, openness, associations, consciousness, healthy practices…”
