Dining up and down University Avenue
With the street all torn up for light rail construction all the way from the capitol in St. Paul into Minneapolis, DH and I resolved to support the local businesses by dining at a University Avenue establishment at least once a week, and taking friends along with us for a bigger impact.
What are your favorite places along University Avenue, and are there any tricks to getting through the construction to get to them?
I'll start by mentioning Caffe Biaggio, whose front door is closed off by chain link fencing, as apparently most businesses will be eventually (or at least access will be severely limited). Best way to get to Biaggio is to get on Raymond Avenue north of University, head south on Raymond until you cross University, turn left at the first opportunity after you're across University, go the end of the building, then turn left again and you're in Biaggio's parking lot with their side door at the far end of the building.
Anyone else want to take the pledge?

Love Cheng Heng, though DH doesn't. Is Saigon the same restaurant that was in Bandana Square for many years?
Cheng Heng Restaurant

re: ibew292
We used to be huge Cheng Heng fans, but the last time we went the food was completely different. We ordered the same things we always do and they barely resembled what we used to get and we didn't like it as much. We haven't been back.

re: sarahcooks
The owners go back to Cambodia every so often and while they are gone the food is different. Last week it was as good as ever. Support the Avenue where ever it is you go. Times are going to get tougher for business on University.
re: ibew292
Oh wow, good to know! We were so sad that one of our favorite restaurants had changed so much! We'll definitely give it another try, I've really missed it!
on a related topic.. porky's made the right decision. rather than let the construction kill them they just shut down.
I generally do so anyway, as I work near there. Insofar as the whole purpose of LTR, in the grand scheme of things, is to yield yet another Crave location in a mixed-condo type deal, it seems futile to resist progress.
On the other hand, I will be eating at Hoa Bien, Ngon, Bangkok Thai Deli, Big Daddy's, Black Sea. Sole Cafe and Asian Deli with some frequency, and will do my best to report on the remainder.

Just had dinner at Mai Village (I know, but it's a family favorite). I would be more than happy to rotate among any of the following (alphabetical): Cheng Heng, Hickory Hut (not the best 'que in St. Paul but great Art Song's wings and a pretty decent deal), Hoa Bien, and Ngon.
I would add On's to the list, but I haven't been there yet.

re: Fudist
Please tell us more about Trieu Chau. I see it's been mentioned in a couple of threads, but I haven't been there and don't know much about it.
Thanks for liking the idea.

Tried to make it to Ai Hues yesterday, but it is closed on Tuesdays, which someone probably mentioned, but I had forgotten. We settled for Krua Thai.
Thought the papaya pad thai looked like an interesting idea. Oh dear. Bland curry over frozen vegetables didn't do anything for me either. Service was indifferent to the point of being rude. Will not be back.
re: kevin47
Sorry you went there kevin47. It used to be the cream of local Thai, but was sold a few years back and it's just a miserable little cesspool now. I honestly don't know how they survive.
Give On's another chance if you haven't recently. New menu with photos and a lot of new dishes. They are (slowly, ponderingly) getting their service act together, but the food is really first rate.
re: HuaGung
Yes, Krua Thai back in the original days was a true wonder. After new owners took over, the food became inedible. A great loss to the local dining community.
re: HuaGung
What do you recommend? The crab and egg dish looks intriguing.
re: kevin47
I am just now sitting down to a bowl of kaeng pa (#102) with pork-a very spicy non-cocunut curry. It's awesome. The crab dish is great but very messy to eat. Forewarned is...
Her doo dee noodle soup is a great lunch too. Something akin to a sour pho with more kinds of meat. And peanuts.
re: HuaGung
Both of those sound great. At school in CA, the local Thai place didn't even do coconut curries. Perfect drunk food, and you haven't lived until you've vomited spicy soup through your nostrils, I tell ya'.
I'll give it a whirl. A visit to a truly terrible restaurant puts those that are at least endeavoring to greatness in perspective.
re: kevin47
"You haven't lived until you've vomited spicy soup through your nostrils"
I think this will be my new favorite quote of all time! Nicely stated Kevin47!
re: Brad Ballinger
I just had lunch today at On Thai...excellent! They have a good attention to detail...far batter than average to be sure. They have a free public parking lot across the University, which was helpful.
re: Uisge
You *can* get to the Russian Tea House, but you have to sneak up on it by going down Fairview, then over to Wheeler and back up to almost-University. See my post below:
Russian Tea House

re: AnneInMpls
Thank you, thank you. Will plan to head there tomorrow.
re: Uisge
Went to Russian Tea House on Friday. As stated, they are feeling good still and loving their customers. Ordered a bit of everything. My 16 year old declared the piroshki "a Masterpiece" (this after refusing to touch it at first).
Had the vereneki (potato stuffed dumplings) with sauteed onions and with stroganoff sauce. The onions were perfect, sweet and buttery. The stroganoff was fine but not as rich as I remember.

re: Uisge
Just a heads-up - maybe as a reaction to traffic adjustments impacting business - they are OPEN on Saturday's now. Have gone last two weekend's as I love their pelmeni - sour cream and their mustard are the best and jut a dab of their balsamic vinegar. Also had to get piroshki, because they are darn tasty as described above.
Saturday menu includes blinis, one savory (mushroom, cheese, onion) and one sweet
re: eastlakovore
re: The Dairy Queen
I believe they're only open Friday and Saturday now, though. I'm going Friday and will report back.
re: jeanmt
Please do!
re: eastlakovore
I love pelmeni! Is this restaurant good for take-out?
re: stepawayfromthetable
Yes, it is. And they have convenient parking too.
We were able to get into On's Thai Kitchen for takeout last night. We ate there once before and liked it. Last night, it was okay.
We had hor mok, which I've never had before, and which we liked. Pretty spicy and good. The pad thai I found kind of odd: very sugary with a thickened, very tomatoey sauce, unlike I've ever had before; it didn't stand up well by comparison to others I've had. The green curry was quite salty and the broccoli with oyster sauce was good but unremarkable. Still, I'll give them another try.
I'm not yet on the bandwagon that's developed for On's and am taking a wait and see attitude.
re: nsxtasy
The construction won't affect Restaurant Alma at all - the light rail line won't go as far north as this. (The construction is a big hit in St. Paul, but affects Minneapolis only between the city line and Washington Ave, which is about 2 miles SE of Alma). So you'll be fine in June.
But for affected restaurants in St. Paul (and a bit of Minneapolis), University Ave will have one lane open in each direction, so buses will be fine, and traffic will be OK most of the time - just a bit slower during rush hours.
Here's a link to the construction plans and maps for University Avenue.
P.S. Alma is a great choice for your visit. I hope you like it - I think you will!
Restaurant Alma
528 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414
There is an official campaign of support for businesses affected by the construction for the new light rail line, with ways for those businesses (including restaurants) to participate. See www.discovercentralcorridor.com
re: nsxtasy
Thanks for this link, nsxtasy. I see that, while it appears businesses can get themselves listed through this web site pretty easily, many business are not listed, e.g. Mai Village, Cheng Heng, Little Szechuan, Flamingo and many others. Too bad. Maybe small businesses can be encouraged by their customers to get listed.

re: nsxtasy
The same site, but a slightly different link, gives you a place where you can sign up to receive discounts for businesses along university: http://www.centralcorridorperks.com/
Don't forget about the restaurants just off of University Ave! They're affected, too.
We went to Caribe Caribbean Bistro this evening, and had a lovely dinner. But it wasn't very busy - I hope it wasn't because of construction fears. Traffic was almost non-existent at 7:30pm on a Friday. (Plus, there's free on-street parking after 4:30 pm!)
Oh, and about our dinner: we shared an appetizer of Bacalaitos (cod fritters), which were awesome - especially with the spicy sauce. Then Mr. Tastebud had grilled skirt steak with onions, rice, and red beans (super delicious), and I had mahi mahi with plantains and roasted vegetables (nom, aka would definitely order again). My only gripe is that the by-the-glass wine is outlandlishly expensive (I mean, Cristalino Cava at $8 a glass?!?!?! the stuff is only $6.50 a bottle retail!) but the small wine list matches the food well so I had two glasses of wine anyway. And that's not enough to keep me away from the lovely food. Besides, they have a good selection of beer - and a beer dinner coming up on 4/18.

re: AnneInMpls
From their website:
CLOSING SOON. <Already Closed>
April 15th will be our last day. Hours subject to change. Please make a reservation to verify that we will be open for your party. 651-641-1446
Edit: Whoopsie - I see there is already a thread dedicated to Caribe's closing. Still, reinforcing that these restos do need business!
We get sandwiches from Saigon and croissants from Trung Nam every other week. If anyone hasn't tried their croissants yet, you must, they're absolute heaven!
Today was my day to boost Univ. Ave. businesses. (I made a vow to visit at least one a week until the construction is done.) I made up for lost time by visiting three in the same afternoon.
- Had lunch at Russian Tea House. The piroshok (single noun for piroshkhi) was great, as always, especially with a side order of garlicy tomato sauce for dipping. (The sauce comes with the "unrolled cabbage rolls", but is awesome with the piroshkhi.) They said they're doing OK, not great, with the construction, but have been pleased that several new customers have come in especially to support them now. Hooray, and keep it up!
Important: To get to RTH from University Ave, go south on Fairview for 1 block, then east on Shields Ave for two blocks, then north on Wheeler to the RTH/Wendy's parking lot (just before the blocked-off intersection with Univ. Ave). It's easy-peasy once you know how. Then RETRACE YOUR STEPS TO GET BACK TO UNIVERSITY AVE, because there's no other way to get back (this is the voice of experience, here).
- Shopped for vitamins at Schneider drug store. (Chow food connection: they carry B.T. McElrath truffles!)
- Bought local beer at Sharrett's liquor store, where they thanked me for coming in and gave me a Central Corridor Perks Card and a 10% discount. Thus is virtue rewarded (and not much virtue on my part - I zipped into one of three free parking spots on the street at 4:31pm).
The Central Corridor Perks web site has some great restaurant discounts, including U Garden, Peking Garden, Homi Mexican Restaurant, Suga Rush, Tay Ho, Golden's Deli, Black Dog Coffee House, and the new University Buffet.

re: AnneInMpls
Thanks for the link to the perks program, Anne. I didn't even know there was a Mexican place along University, and it looks real interesting!
Anyone been to Homi?
re: Rowdy
I vaguely remember a chowhound discussion of Homi Mexican on University Ave, but can't find the thread. Renee and Steve have been there:
re: Rowdy
I went to Homi a few times. The first meal was wholly mediocre, if I recall correctly. The second time I had the green chilaquiles which were good. There was a formidable language barrier that resulted in MAJOR over-ordering for our kids, and major spending more than we wanted to. In sum, I'd say it's worth a try - to gather more intelligence! Report back if you go, please.
re: diesel
We had a late lunch at Homi on Friday. The food took a while to get there even though they weren't busy. I had the vegetarian burrito grande, which came with a tomato based pasta soup, while DH had the cheese enchiladas and cheese tostadas.
The soup was tasty. The beans were, we were told, made only with water and oil. They were light and fresh tasting. The servings were ample. The ingredients seemed fresh and well prepared, and the atmosphere is pleasant if unadorned.
It's very plain food, with little spicing or complexity in the cooking. There were two sauces, a tomatillo and a tomato, both of which had quite a kick. But the underlying food is simple. Some of the non-veggie items might be more intriguing.
I spent a month in Mexico years ago, and ate what everyday people did. I was frantic to get some vegetables, fruit, and complexity in my meals halfway through my visit. Homi's food is really close to what everyday people eat in Mexico. There's a reason why Mexican food in this country usually winds up being "inauthentic"--we're not tolerant of a daily diet of such plain food.
I hope they can make it. They are friendly and eager to make their customers happy.
re: Rowdy
Went to Homi for lunch today. I'd describe it as an authentic Mexican greasy spoon.
Chips were warm and especially light. The salsa had a nice kick to it.
The empanadas were solid, though I prefer the versions at Chimborazo and Los Andes. I can kind of see the point about lack of complexity.
The taco shells had been fried, which was interesting. I thought the tongue version was a little dry. I found myself adding a lot of lime juice.
The service (from who I think was the owner) was friendly. The room is sparsely adorned, but nice.
Not sure this would compete with Lake Street, but it is a welcome addition to an area dominated by Asian fare.
Los Andes Restaurant
317 W Lake St, Minneapolis, MN 55408
There's so much good chow on University, kudos to everyone for supporting the local businesses. For Vietnamese I have to hand my plug to Que Nah, on the northeast corner of Victoria and University. Not only does this place serve up an incredible Pho Tai, but they have a complete menu of Vietnamese dishes in a spotless restaurant. They recently opened a sister store called Indochin on Grand Ave, across from Ramsey Jr. High School.
I didn't really go for Ngon at all. I thought they were trying to hard to impress me in their menu description of their pho being made with "angus beef" (which to me is TMI). My soup was served with a plate of wilted basil and dry lime wedges (these fixings were prepped and stored uncovered in a fridge long in advance of serving, they were served cold and subsequently cooled the soup too quickly after adding). Not impressed at all.
Other good pho shops that I like are Saigon (cash only) and Pho Ca Dao (cash only). Both these places serve small bowls, which is a size that satisfies me perfectly.
Also Trung Nam, besides being an incredible croissant bakery, also serves pho until midnight!
Pho Ca Dao Restaurant
439 University Ave W, St Paul, MN 55103
NEWS FLASH: The light rail construction is shutting down for the winter this week, so it'll be much easier to get to all these wonderful places.
Even better, the Russian Tea House just announced that, as of today, they're back to their regular hours (Tuesday-Friday 11-3). Hooray - I'm having a pirozhok for lunch!
I love this idea, and have been doing it for the past few months. I try to get dinner at a small restaurant there once per week.
I just got back from Big Daddys, who continue to provide my absolute favorite pork ribs.
I've been meaning to go to On Thai, that will be next on my list. I've wondered for awhile about the Vietnamese bbq place on the south side of the road between dale and lexington, has anyone been there?
re: bustaone
We had takeout from On's tonight, and there was only one table occupied at about 6:45. On a SATurday.
Better get visiting, people!
re: bustaone
Tai Hoa? Was there a few times a few years ago, and by the time I showed up (5-ish, maybe closer to 6), about all that was left in the pans were "variety meats" which (I will admit) I was not brave enough to try. I was told that I would need to show up around 4 pm to get the popular stuff, which is not do-able for me. The couple of times I did find something to try, it was tasty, but I can't say the food was strikingly better than other BBQ places in town (or even near their restaurant). So I haven't been back yet.
Time has marched on, though, and TH may have juggled the mix to better meet popular demand.
re: bustaone
Been to Tai Hoa many times...not an eat in restaurant. Mostly they specialize in bbq meats - whole ducks, bbq pork, roast pork, etc. They also have some hot items and cold items, that frankly, I have never been able to identify! I go in for meat by the pound.
There are a few tables but I have never seen anyone sit at them.
I will be honest, if the meat wasn't so good, I probably would not go there - just a little to rough around the edges for me. My OCD makes me want to wash my hands.
re: ibew292
I visited Russian Tea House, Que Nha, Pho Ca Dao, Trung Nam twice stupid delicious croissants, Big Daddy's and Bangkok Thai Deli in the past week just trying to support those university Avenue businesses.
re: Andyg74
I had lunch this afternoon at Trieu Chau (500 Uni). I don't know how I ever NOT had the utterly delicious BBQ pork sandwich with pickled vegetables, served on a crusty baguette. I will be supporting these businesses fiercely during the construction!
re: Special Dish
Good pho too!
Will be hitting Saigon this week, already went to the incomparable Ha Tien Deli. Wow. If you have not hit this place, go now. It is great.
re: shanemio
+1 on Ha Tien. Everything I've had there has been fresh and tasty. Lots of groceries and some decent produce, too. Well worth navigating down University....
re: steve_in_stpaul
I gotta agree. I cannot get over how good their deli is...the pork riblets and the head on shrimp are to die for. And all of their bbq is great.
re: Haricotsv2
Yes and it is great. support them....
re: ibew292
Btw, they have a parking lot and there was access to it last night from either direction on University. Good food and very appreciative owners.
re: ibew292
We had a wonderful dinner there tonight. We ate wonderful chive pancakes, just like in Phnom Penh. My partner had lok lak, and I had a buon xiang. The food was delicious and when we talked to the owner she said they were 30% down last year from the year before and having a 50% loss this season. Get yourselves over there and support this wonderful family who create delicious food. This is the only Cambodian fix in town, and we must do our best to help them and the other businesses in Frogtown who are suffering.
re: docfood
Thanks for the reminder, we used to go there all the time, but last time we went our usual menu items tasted completely different. I heard later it was just a fluke, but we haven't been back yet.
re: sarahcooks
I go there 1-2 times a week. Some things are inconsistent but all still are great. With the volume reduction it seems to make it harder to stay the same. Maybe they should have a more limited menu during these trying times.Support all the business on University.
Flash Mob eat out????

Prince Charles carries out whirlwind tour of Cumbria
Last updated at 16:48, Tuesday, 03 April 2012
If the snow and driving rain put off Prince Charles during his visit to Wigton he certainly didn't show it.
His Royal Highness shook hands, chatted to locals and accepted gifts while walking through the town centre this afternoon.
The visit was in recognition of the 750th anniversary of the town's Market Charter and involved trips through the town's Youth Station, the Fountain Art Gallery and St Mary's Church before heading to the Market Hall and viewing assembled exhibits.
Despite the unseasonable snow, townsfolk turned out in huge numbers and were delighted by the Prince's friendly and easy-going nature.
For a full report of the Prince's visit to Wigton and more pictures see tomorrow's News & Star.
After leaving Wigton, he viewed presentations from youngsters supported by The Prince's Countryside Fund in Cumbria and met fund supporters at a reception at Greystone House Farm in Stainton.
The final stop in his whirlwind tour was Dalemain, near Penrith, to celebrate the eighth International Dalemain Marmalade Festival and Awards. He was due to taste marmalade entries from this year's festival and meet supporters and volunteers.
For a full report and pictures of the Prince's visits to Stainton and Dalemain see tomorrow's News & Star.
The Prince of Wales had a packed schedule for his day in Cumbria.
It began with a morning tipple as he helped mark the 10th anniversary of Hawkshead Brewery.
He pulled a pint of Windermere Pale and gave the royal seal of approval to the aromatic beer, saying it was "hoppy" and "tasty".
The firm is among 40 located on a "green" business park in the South Lakeland village of Staveley.
Charles unveiled a plaque to commemorate the company's anniversary and was presented with a selection of bottled ales.
He chatted with other business owners and also toured More? The Artisan Bakery run by local couple Patrick and Louise Moore.
Mr Moore's seven-year-old daughter Milly presented The Prince of Wales with a bread basket of more goodies.
Charles also dropped in at handmade furniture makers Waters & Acland, where he was given a view of its craftsmanship and met the firm's first apprentice.
He then went on to meet staff and volunteers at Dove Cottage - the home poet William Wordsworth shared with his sister Dororthy from 1799 to 1808 - and the next-door Wordsworth Museum.
Charles - patron of the Wordsworth Trust - studied a passage in Dorothy's diary which inspired the poem Ode - Intimations Of Immortality from recollections of early childhood, which he chose as a reading at his wedding to the Duchess of Cornwall in 2005.

is this a good neigborhood?
Fayetteville is a bit tricky, since in some cases, good neighborhoods border some dicier parts of town. The southern and western parts of Fayetteville have historically been nicer districts, with lower crime and better schools. Some neighborhoods to consider renting in are Stoney Point, Arran Lakes and Haymount.

Efforts on rise to protect pets from domestic violence
Lisa LeBlanc, executive director of A Safe Place in Portsmouth, knows first-hand the impact of abuse in a home. (COURTESY)
That's why protecting pets has become part of the mosaic of services offered to abuse victims. Many animal shelters in New Hampshire partner with crisis centers to provide temporary housing for animals when a victim has to leave home in a hurry.
Domestic violence experts all have horror stories about family pets that were abused or killed. For Lisa LeBlanc, executive director of A Safe Place in Portsmouth, it happened early in her 20-year career.
"It was a beautiful Saint Bernard," he said.
"Pets, unfortunately, are often hurt and abused, if not killed, as a way to exert control and intimidation and fear in a relationship," she said. "It sends a very powerful message to somebody when their pet is hurt."
While some states have pet-friendly shelters, New Hampshire does not - although a Concord-based crisis center is working on plans to create one.
"What we are recognizing is that (some) people who have pets just aren't going to be calling because they know our shelters aren't pet-friendly."
Agencies rely on local animal shelters, veterinarians, boarding kennels and volunteers to provide emergency housing for pets of victims in crisis.
Families are encouraged to come and visit their pets. "We'll give them a room where they can sit and spend time," she said.
"We have reunited many, many pets," Dennison said. "That's the ultimate goal.
There's a growing recognition among social service agencies "that human and animal welfare is so connected," Turcott said.
The woman wrote about her gentle and "brave" dog, Bella, who wound up on the receiving end of her abuser's violence.
Afterwards, she wrote, "Bella and I sat in the driveway for a good hour. I promised Bella that day I would never let anything happen to her ever again. That promise I kept."
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or sexual violence, call the statewide toll-free hotline: 1-866-644-3574. Advocates are available to provide support, information and referrals 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

History of St. Petersburg Museum: Rumyantsev Mansion
By Irina Titova
The St. Petersburg Times
Published: January 26, 2014 (Issue # 1794)
In fall of 1941, Antonina Vetikova, who was then 14 years old, stopped stammering — a problem that she had suffered since early childhood. Ironically, Vetikova was cured of her speech impediment due to the fear she experienced during an air raid on the peaceful residents of a village outside Leningrad where her family lived.
"There were no bomb shelters in our village and when the planes began shooting at us, we all just ran into a neighboring forest to hide," Vetikova, 86, told The St. Petersburg Times on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the end of the Siege of Leningrad, also known as the Blockade, to be celebrated on Jan. 27.
"The planes flew so low that we could see the faces and goggles of the Nazi pilots. I still can't forget how they smiled as they shot at us!" Vetikova said.
When she returned home after one such air attack, however, she realized that she had lost her stammer.
"I'm even ashamed to speak of it, but it's a fact," she said.

Vetikova was one of around a million people who lived through both the Nazi air raids on Leningrad and the experience of the Blockade. Although she lived 36 kilometers outside of the city, the area of her residence was also cut off from the rest of the country by Nazi troops.
"The situation in our village was better than in Leningrad itself because we had peat to burn for warmth and we had easy access to water. The situation with food, however, was terrible. We ate anything we could find: Pine bark, potato peels and that famous 125 grams of Blockade bread," Vetikova said.
The siege of Leningrad was a prolonged military operation undertaken by Germany's Army Group North against Leningrad, as St. Petersburg was then known. The siege started on Sept. 8, 1941, when the last road connecting the city to the rest of the country was severed. Although the Soviets managed to open a narrow land corridor to the city on Jan. 18, 1943, the siege was finally lifted just over a year later, on Jan. 27, 1944. Lasting 872 days, the Siege of Leningrad was one of the longest and most destructive blockades in history and overwhelmingly the most costly in terms of casualties.

TV Series – Another winning series from Masterpiece Theater – Mr. Selfridge is the ultimate armchair shopping experience. The story revolves around the actual American retail magnate, Harry Selfridge, who owned and operated an exclusive department store in London called Selfridges which opened in 1909. Born in Wisconsin he married Chicago socialite Rose Buckingham. He gained his retail experience from Marshall Field's where he worked for 25 years. Selfridge wanted to bring shopping to a new level for Londoners. He wanted his customers to view shopping as a pleasure instead of a necessity and he embraced the philosophy of "the customer is always right". He wanted Selfridges to be a place to spend the day and money as customers dined in one of the elegant restaurants, relaxed in the library or reading and writing rooms, and perused extensive displays of merchandise handled by an expert sales staff. The series magnificently portrays the glamor of the store, as well as gives us an intimate look into the lives of Harry and his family, and some of the fascinating characters of Selfridges. A must see. Fans of Downton Abbey will be sure to enjoy this too.

The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith
Book - The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith is a compelling, fun to read mystery. Set in modern day London, private investigator Cormoran Strike, a decorated wounded war veteran, is trying to keep his struggling agency afloat. His life is an emotional mess and a new client gives Strike hope. John Bristow's supermodel adopted sister Lula Landry is dead, and though the police have ruled it a suicide, he is convinced that she was murdered by being pushed off her balcony. He hires Strike to find the killer. In order to give his full attention to the case, Strike employs Robin as a temporary office assistant, who turns out to be more valuable than he anticipated. The problem is that he really can't afford to keep her. The investigation is an entertaining romp through the world of fashion and celebrities, as Strike and Robin form a sold fact finding team. Readers will continue reading to find out if there really was a killer and if Robin will stay on working for Strike or take a full time position elsewhere. Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling. This mystery series is very different from the Harry Potter books and appropriate for more mature readers. Recently published, the second Cormoran Strike book is The Silkworm.

Her three adult children gather together for the first time in years to help search for their father. Monica, the oldest daughter, is her mother's rock and seems to have a well-ordered life. But her partner's daughters despise her and she hides secrets that she has never faced. Her brother, Michael Francis, feels guilt over a past indiscretion and wonders if his wife, newly enrolled in community college, is having an affair. The youngest sibling, Aoife, has always had issues. She was a screaming infant and an unruly child, until finally, as an adult, she escapes to America and reinvents herself. The disappearance of their father is the catalyst that brings everyone together, and in the search for him, they discover and are forced to address the secrets and misunderstandings that have wedged between them. I listened to the audiobook of this title and was absorbed in the story and the narration by John Lee.
