Story
In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them.

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Story
The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

Reveling in the swamp
I can't bear to listen to this whole book, yet anyway. So, it does me a service to let me peek at the revelers in this den of snakes, Washington DC, and return to my regular preoccupations. It shines through this summary that the author enjoys relating all this, and dissecting all these strange fauna and flora of that (thankfully) faraway capital, preening and elbowing each other and in their brief star-turns in that weird spotlight. One couldn't make this sort of thing up. I'm sure the full-length book has all sorts of gaudy apparitions. I like how it puts supposed opponents in smarmy clubbiness in some of these scenes. But as a previous practicing lawyer who had cordial lunches with opponents, I sort of understand. But not completely. I can certify I was not screwing MY clients; I was being civil, and letting our civilized contest remain within its arena. I can only shudder and hope this is true of these folks. (Fingers crossed, nervous expression.)
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
