A frightening foretelling of the future...

INDECENT BEHAVIOR is a mystery novel worthy of a five-star review. Carylâs superb wordsmithing skills weave an excellent plot certain to entertain the reader.

Enjoy oftenâ John

My surprise novel of the year!

What a surprise! This is the most entertaining contemporary novel I have read in decades. Ms.River's work is witty, her characters are memorable and artfully created, and the plot moves forward like a bullet train. I had just finished the NaNoWritMo competition (writers create a 50,000 word novel during the 30 days of November) with 4 days to spare and I needed something to help me wind down. I certainly got more than I bargained for. This is superb fiction writing, and a welcome deviation from the police procedural and espionage novels I usually chose. The romance between the co-protagonists is integral rather than merely incidental to the plot development. It was so much fun to read that it would be easy to overlooked the quality of the writing. While the idea of shadow governments within the government pursuing dark agendas is a bit trite, Ms. Rivers gives it a new twist by casting journalists instead of super heros with sad back stories in the major roles. I loved this book.

Great summer reading. (Probably good winter reading too!)

Always wondered why they call mysteries "thrillers", but this goes a long way towards explaining that. Lots of adventure, engagingly written. Lots of action, a touch of romance and one stereotypical evil villain. Buttered popcorn with just the right amount of salt. An entertaining treat.

A quick and entertaining read!

I enjoyed the adventures of the protagonists and how they responded and handled the roadblocks thrown in their path to solving a big mystery. Great characters and the plot was different enough to keep you guessing about the outcome with a couple of surprises along the way. This book was very well written and I would definitely recommend it to friends.

Page Turner

This was an interesting book and I found myself wanting to keep reading to find the conclusion. As many of the novels the author gave me more detailed medical facts than I needed to understand the premise and follow along but overall it was a good read.

The secrets behind the stolen painting send her on an unforgettable journey that prompts her to re-examine her own talents and inspirations. As the pieces come together, Tracy faces a life-changing choice, one that will lead to surprising discoveries about love and her own identity.

A page turner

You can't put this book down as the suspense builds around the "double" life of Tracy. Such a fun read!

A New Lease on Life!

Sounds exciting, right? I was very impressed with this debut novel based on the synopsis and had high expectations. I couldn't wait to start reading, and I finished the book in a couple of days. I was so into this book! Let me tell you why....

Tracy Felicia Santana is a child of Texans, with big dreams of graphic design and putting her love of art to work in New York. She leaves the nest and moves to New York and gets started. She marries Diego Leon, a man in her realm of work. But Diego wants the limelight and a wife at home, not so much in the workforce. Tracy puts all her dreams and her graphic design classes out of her mind and does what Diego wants her to do. Instead of climbing the ladder in the art world, Tracy stays working in the circulation department for ArtHouse.

Through Tracy's reminisces, if you can call them that, she makes it clear that Diego washed away her dreams and her motivation to pursue them. It's a sad, downtrodden fact that a lot of women today face once they are involved in a new relationship or one that evolves into a hasty marriage, as Tracy's did. She has low self-esteem and no direction for her life; she's just going through the run-of-the-mill, day-to-day mundane routine, trying to stay afloat in pricey New York.

Since then, Diego has divorced her and married the woman he was cheating on Tracy with...and then he dies, suddenly. Somehow, Tracy and Diego's second wife, Donna, become best friends. The antics of Diego draw them together. They reminisce about their time with Deigo, and the ending of the novel is very reflective of relationships and the past:

"But only the good parts remain. Isn't it amazing how kind your memory can be? Ultimately, you only remember the happy times."

Donna is almost a foil of Tracy: she does not hide her beauty, she is an actress and she goes after new adventures. Tracy is content to stay in her little hole in New York. She doesn't keep in regular contact with her family or "have a life."

One day, Tracy's boss at ArtHouse shares some more bad news. On that crappy day, she escapes to MoMA, where the art gives her an escape and lifts her mood.

Title: Professor of Poetry

Author: Grace McCleen

Narrator: Gemma Whelan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-19-13

Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

A powerful, lyrically told and unusual love story by the prize-winning author of The Land of Decoration. A poem wrapped in brown paper. A man, a woman, a city, and a past that must not be remembered.

Elizabeth Stone, a respected academic, has a new lease on life. In remission from cancer, she returns to the city where she was a student over thirty years ago to investigate some little-known papers by T. S. Eliot, which she believes contain the seeds of her masterpiece; a masterpiece that centres on a poem given to her when she was eighteen by the elusive Professor Hunt...

But as the days pass in the city she loves and her friendship with Professor Hunt is rekindled, her memories return her to a time shadowed by loneliness, longing and quiet despair, and to an undeclared but overwhelming love. Paralysed by the fear of writing something worthless, haunted by a sense of waste, Elizabeth Stone comes to realise she is facing the biggest test of her life.

As in her acclaimed debut The Land of Decoration, Grace McCleen gives an intense evocation of place, an unflinching portrayal of a character by turns comic, absurd, and disturbing, and a powerful sense of the transcendent within the ordinary. Profound and hypnotic, The Professor of Poetry devastates even as it exhilarates and echoes long after it has been closed.

Be sure you have alone time to appreciate this book

I am still reading this book, enjoying every word, like a good glass of wine, slowly. The use of words to create images and feelings the comfortableness of it, I don't want it to end!

Grand tragedy - stunning prose - an intimate portrait of The Professor of Poetry

This took a very long time to read. Not because the plot was complicated, no - but because so many sentences are of such great beauty that they deserved reading again, and savouring. McCleen is right up there with the literary big guns in my opinion. In this book she has developed a very strange character:a solitary little girl named Elizabeth Stone (initially brought up by her mother in a house by the sea, then who goes to live with aloof foster parents)who is clever enough to get a place at a prestigious university where she is a star student for her hipster mentor, Professor Edward Hunt. Their intellectual admiration is mutual, and it leads to a chaste, but passionate friendship.

Despite her growing love for her Professor (although she does not recognise it as that) Elizabeth has made an internal vow to make her work her life, in which there is no place for men. After leaving the 'city of books' (never named but thought to be Oxford) she pursues her own academic career, becoming a Professor of Poetry.

The novel examines Elizabeth's internal conflicts and influences that have formed her personality, skipping back and forth through time; her childhood, her university days, her interactions with Edward. It's difficult to like her - she is aloof, selfish, totally driven to succeed intellectually and makes minimal effort to fit in with the social scene. Yet McCleen keeps us completely interested in both Elizabeth's thought processes and her behaviours with such mesmerising prose that it has the ability to evoke all the reader's senses at once.

The novel begins with the Professor of Poetry being given the news that the brain cancer she developed at 52 is in remission.
