Probably Dead by Ed Church is part of the Detective Brook Deelman Mystery series. However, I didn’t feel as if I needed to read the other books in the series in order to follow the storyline. I enjoy a good investigative drama and this book fits the bill to a T.
Beginning in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, Detective Brook Deelman stops a bar robbery and is handed the case files for a thirty year old unsolved disappearance. His investigation takes him back to London and his own precinct. The mystery resolves itself unexpectedly, going full circle in returning to South Africa.
I’m especially fond of mysteries that I haven’t solved from my armchair half-way through. Then when I found out I could read more of Detective Deelman’s crime-stopping crusades, color me delighted! If you are a mystery fan and admire rugged and efficient detectives too, you’ll love Probably Dead by Ed Church.

One day, everyone in Alan’s life is gone. Everyone in Alan’s neighborhood is gone. Everyone in Alan’s state is gone. Everyone except Alan and his 8-year-old son Todd. Alan, an unemployed would-be entrepreneur suffering from depression, is not the man his son needs him to be in this TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As You Know It) scenario.
Alan has not stockpiled for a doomsday event. He has not learned basic survival skills. He makes mistake after mistake as he struggles to keep himself and his son alive. Then he spots the blue blur and the approaching asteroid.
This is the end-of-the-world survival book to end all books. The hero in our story isn’t a former special-ops military genus. Nor is he a self-sufficient hermit already prepping to the hilt. No, our guy is a loser from the suburbs, with no survival skills whatsoever with an 8-year-old boy tagging along.
I absolutely loved this book. I mean, what would you do if your toilet stopped working? Would you go about constructing an outhouse or start pooping in the neighbor’s living room? What about when your food supplies became covered in deadly blue moss? What would you do then? With winter approaching, would you stay in Minnesota or try to head south? How far south? Is Iowa far enough? With the power out, would you know enough to start a fire to cook food and stay warm? Would you know how to ventilate the room or to move the blanket far enough away so that it doesn’t catch fire? If you went on the road, what would you take and what would you leave behind? What about those blurs? How would you handle injuries? Do you know how to dress a wound?
If you want an amazing SHTF read with a bit of science fiction thrown in to lessen the predictability, then Todd by Adam J. Nicolai is the book for you!

The Seven Graces of Ageless Aging: How to Die Young as Late in Life as Possible by Jason Elias tackles the topic of what it means to grow old gracefully. Contrary to popular belief, this concept does not necessitate that we ride off into the sunset, our usefulness at an end, as we approach the golden years. Instead, the author demonstrates through examples how aging is best done through continued service to the community, ourselves, and the world at large.
These seven graces are:
The author, a thriving senior himself, highlights the life stories of 12 elders who embody what he describes as successful aging. These “pathfinders,” as he calls them, demonstrate how certain regular practices, both physical and mental, keep their bodies and minds functioning optimally even at extremely advanced ages. Interspersed among the commentary and life stories is information about scientific studies that support these practices.
Each of us has a unique journey through life, so what resonated with me might not be what you need to hear. Even so, the content of this book is vital for every age group. Personally, I have been making conscious decisions about my lifestyle choices for some time. However, after reading The Seven Graces of Ageless Aging: How to Die Young as Late in Life as Possible by Jason Elias, I see how I can do even more towards setting the foundation for a vibrant second half of my life. I believe you will find the same to be true for you.
