Pilgrims also come to visit the home of Saints Cuthbert and Aiden--the founders of Christianity in England--located on the \"Holy Island\" of Lindisfarne, accessible by a causeway at low tide. When the murdered body of a local man washes ashore just south of Lindisfarne, the government and the Church of England are concerned about protecting both the reputation of the Church and the sacred sites that are a destination for hundreds of pilgrims at this time of year. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith his ability to move in the highest social and political circles, Rutledge is sent by Scotland Yard to solve this crime and dispel any association with the Church. Upon arrival, Rutledge finds himself pulled between two coastal fishing villages, scarred by home front battles and coastal bombardment from the German Navy, where animosity towards Germany still runs high even years after the war. This, combined with a constabulary in the process of being consolidated to form a countywide police force, with local militias still wielding a great deal of power, means Rutledge must tread with care. Facing a puzzling case and a cast of locals that don't take kindly to outsiders, the newly promoted Rutledge meets one of the most challenging cases of his career. To solve it, he'll also have to confront his own demons left over from his time in the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 01\/12\/2026 (EAN 9781613167236, Hardcover) - *Starred Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 02\/01\/2026 (EAN 9781613167236, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 12\/01\/2025 (EAN 9781613167236, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 01\/01\/2026 pg. 39 (EAN 9781613167236, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eTodd, Charles\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCharles Todd\u003c\/b\u003e is the \n\u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of the Inspector Ian Rutledge mysteries, the Bess Crawford mysteries, and two stand-alone novels.

For years, Olga Khazan had been spiraling toward an existential crisis. Though she treasured her loving long-term relationship and her dream job, she often caught herself snatching dissatisfaction from the jaws of happiness. Her anxious and neurotic overachieving had always been a professional asset, but lately, Olga felt that her brittle disposition would shatter at any moment under the weight of just one more thing. She knew something had to give-but was it really possible to do something as radical as change her personality? In The Personality Test, Olga embarks on a year-long experiment to see if it's truly possible to change your personality, sample size: one. Scientifically, personality consists of five sliding-scale traits: extroversion, or how sociable you are; conscientiousness, or how self-disciplined and organized you are; agreeableness, or how warm and empathetic you are; openness, or how receptive you are to new ideas and activities; and neuroticism, or how depressed or anxious you are. But research shows that you can alter these traits by consistently behaving in ways that align with the kind of person you'd like to be. And that, in turn, can actually make you happier, healthier, and more successful. So, for a year, Olga decides to fake it until she makes it. She reluctantly clicks 'yes' on a bucket list of new experiences, from meditation to improv to sailing, that will force her to at least act happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, in the hope she might actually become those things. With a skeptic's eye, Olga brings readers on her personal journey through the science of personality, presenting evidence-backed techniques to change our minds for the better. Deeply reflective and sharply witty, The Personality Test is a probing inquiry into what it means to live a fulfilling life, and how we can keep diving into change, even against our better judgment\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\" \n\u003ci\u003eMe, But Better \u003c\/i\u003eis everything you want in a nonfiction book.

This was addressed by The Negro Motorist Green Book, an annual listing of lodging, diners, gas stations, and other businesses that could handle the needs of the Black customer. Created in 1936 by Harlem-based postman Victor H. Green, the Green Book served the public until after the passage of the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s ended legal segregation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal copies of the \u003cem\u003eGreen Book\u003c\/em\u003e are now museum pieces, but in this book you can see all the articles, all the ads, and all the listings from four editions of the \u003cem\u003eGreen Book\u003c\/em\u003e, one for each decade in which the series was published. \u003cem\u003eThe Negro Motorist Green Book\u003c\/em\u003e of 1938 is an early example, covering only the states east of the Mississippi River, but also presenting articles on \"The Automobile and What It Has Done for the American Negro\" as well as driving tips. By 1947, the \u003cem\u003eNegro Motorist Green Book\u003c\/em\u003e had listings for 45 of the 48 states that then existed (there was nothing for Nevada, New Hampshire, or North Dakota), and that also included directories of the Negro colleges and newspapers of the day, as well as a look at the current models from Ford and GM, and some notes on automotive design of the future. By 1954, the title had changed to \u003cem\u003eThe Negro Travelers' Green Book\u003c\/em\u003e, and the volume includes an article on the highlights of San Francisco (which was \"fast becoming the focal point of the Negroes' future\") and tourist guides to New York City and Bermdua. Finally, the \u003cem\u003eTravelers' Green Book\u003c\/em\u003e for 1963 through 1964 leads off with a state-by-state listings of rights against \"jimcro\" (Jim Crow segregation), plus it has \"Guide Posts for a Pleasant Trip,\" a couple of cartoon-illustrated sidebars on Black history-makers, a listing of major league ballparks, and other useful items for the traveler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReprints of the \u003cem\u003eGreen Book\u003c\/em\u003e published by About Comics have gotten coverage by \u003cem\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eGuardian\u003c\/em\u003e, and BBC News, and more.
