Murder in the Neighbourhood - Ellen J. Green - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

On 6th September 1949, twenty-eight-year-old Howard Barton Unruh shot thirteen people in less than twelve minutes on his block in East Camden, New Jersey. The shocking true story of the first recorded mass shooting in America has never been told, until now. The sky was cloudless that morning when twelve-year-old Raymond Havens left his home on River Road. His grandmother had sent him to get a haircut at the barbershop across the street - where he was about to witness his neighbour and friend Howard open fire on the customers inside.Told through the eyes of young Raymond, who had visited Howard regularly to listen to his war stories, and the mother trying to piece together the disturbing inner workings of her son''s mind, Murder in the Neighbourhood uncovers the chilling true story of Howard Unruh, the quiet loner who meticulously plotted his revenge on the neighbours who shunned him and became one of America''s first mass killers.With Ellen''s access to Howard''s diaries, newly released police reports and psychiatric records alongside interviews with surviving family members, Murder in the Neighbourhood is a compulsive page-turner that will have you asking - how well do we ever really know those around us? Are we ever really safe?A gripping untold true story that will leave your heart pounding. Perfect for fans of In Cold Blood , If You Tell and American Predator.

Minute by Minute - Jonathan Mayo - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Now in paperback, this timely book tells the story of JFK's assassination as told from the frontline: it is about the people - from the highest to the lowest - who were caught up in that four-day whirlwind in November 1963. "Reads like a pacey, page-turning, cold war political thriller." Dermot O'Leary This is the story of JFK's assassination as told from the frontline: it is about the people - from the highest to the lowest - who were caught up in that four-day whirlwind in November 1963. From Dallas nightclub reporter Tony Zoppi, who found himself carrying the president's casket; Secret Service agent C lint Hill beating his hands in despair on the trunk of the limousine as he watches Kennedy die; Howard Brennan, a construction worker on a lunch break watching a man take aim on the motorcade with a rifle; reporter Hugh Aynesworth with only an electricity bill on which to write notes for the scoop of his career; DJ John Peel a few feet from Oswald as he's questioned by the press; to Robert Kennedy sitting in the dark in the back of an empty army truck, waiting for his brother's body to arrive. The Assassination of JFK: Minute by Minute is pure chronological narrative, giving a blow by blow account of the terrible events as they unfolded. "Packed with vivid detail, and arranged in the minute by minute style that Jonathan Mayo has pioneered, this account of the murder of John F Kennedy gripped me from the first page to the last." Jeremy Vine

The Grove - Ben Dark - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The Grove - Ben Dark - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The first non-fiction book from an award-winning new voice, hailed by Gardeners' World magazine as 'the millennial Monty' "The best gardening book of 2022." The Telegraph "A book to make even a quick trip to the corner shop endlessly fascinating. Dark has been dubbed the millennial Monty Don for this beautifully written study of the oft-overlooked nature on our doorsteps...Dark teases the drama, humor and history from even the most commonplace buddleja, box and tulip." George Hudson , Evening Standard, F avourite Gardening Books of the Year "This enjoyable read throws a spotlight on the everyday." Rachel de Thame's 10 Best Gardening Books of 2022, the Sunday Times "Gardening for a billionaire taught Ben Dark that "plants alone are not enough to make a garden special". Instead he finds "special" in the people and the history, as well as the plants, that fill 19½ London front gardens. A soulful read." Tom Howard , RHS The Garden, Best Books of The Year "A wonderful book." Alexandra Shulman , Mail on Sunday "Meet the millennial Monty Don." The Sunday Times Style "Ben Dark's beautifully observed book, The Grove: A Nature Odyssey in 19 ½ Front Gardens , tells the stories of 20 key plants growing in a single London street's front gardens in a way that's as engaging as it is informative." The Irish Times Any walk is an odyssey when we connect with the plants around us. Each tree or flower tells a tale. Mundane 'suburban' shrubs speak of war and poetry, of money, fashion, love and failure. Every species in this book was seen from one pavement over twelve months and there is little here that could not be found on any road in any town, but they reveal stories of such weirdness, drama, passion and humor that, once discovered, familiar neighborhoods will be changed forever. There is a renewed interest in the nature on our doorsteps, as can be seen in the work of amateur botanists identifying wildflowers and chalking the names on the pavements. But beyond the garden wall lies a wealth of cultivated plants, each with a unique tale to tell. In The Grove , award-winning writer and head gardener Ben Dark reveals the remarkable secrets of twenty commonly found species - including the rose, wisteria, buddleja, box and the tulip - encountered in the front gardens of one London street over the course of year. As Ben writes, in those small front gardens "are stories of ambition, envy, hope and failure" and The Grove is about so much more than a single street, or indeed the plants found in its 19 ½ front gardens. It's a beguiling blend of horticultural history and personal narrative and a lyrical exploration of why gardens and gardening matter. "A testament to the secret communal power of a front garden." Alice Vincent, New Statesman "Find joy in the ordinary plots on a city street." RHS The Garden "Ben Dark is such a wonderful writer - The Grove drew me in from the first line." Lia Leendertz " The Grove is overflowing with delicious nuggets of cultural, social and garden history ­- and I adore Ben Dark's humour and humility in equal measure." Advolly Richmond "A heartfelt romp through the wisteria and wilderness of London's horticulturally remarkable front gardens." Jack Wallington "Fans of Ben Dark's mellifluous tones on The Garden Log podcast will be delighted by how perfectly his lyrical musings transfer to the printed page as, with infant son in tow, he invites the reader upon a series of horticultural expeditions inspired by the deceptively ordinary planting of the front gardens in a south London street. The kind of thoroughly enjoyable read where you realize, late in the day, that learning has snuck in by the back door, though you feel inclined to forgive the author on account of the fun you've had along the way." Andrew O'Brien "Dark creatively blends practical horticultural knowledge, meditations on his own dream garden, and literary references, including Vita Sackville-West's husband's letter on JP Morgan's garden: "All very good taste and depressing. No inner reality." This will leave armchair gardeners seeing their surroundings with fresh eyes." - Publisher's Weekly
