“My father’s job in a small Jewish-owned shoe shop came to an end when the store was vandalised on Kristallnacht during the night 9/10 November 1938. I had reached the ripe old age of nearly six years …”

“I am a Jew. Between 1933 and 9145 I lived in Germany, the country of my birth, with the many who perished and with the few who survived the Holocaust.”

With these bold statements Ken Arkwright commences the story of his life. There have been countless stories written by and about Holocaust survivors, and each “Witness statement” deserves to be told, especially as the number of survivors who can give first-hand accounts is diminishing.

For decades the author resisted telling his story. As he comments, “Many years of reflecting on these events had to take place to make me feel the need to write about this journey.”

He now feels an urgency to relate telling his unique life experiences and the life stories of people he met who perished in the Holocaust, as otherwise they would die with him.

Now in his ninetieth year, Ken Arkwright writes with clarity and in great detail – and with a remarkable lack of bitterness – about the progress of his life through the Great Depression, the rise of the Nazis and World War II. This is not only a personal story but also an account of this significant period in history. It is a reminder to all of us to not be complacent,

Indeed, it is a story beyond survival

Murder and Christmas Cheer!!!
Format: Kindle
Christmas is a joyous time of year and not a holiday usually associated with murder, but Benedict Brown serves up a classic British mystery, set in the 1920’s, with seasonal warmth, cheer and numerous deaths. This is the sixth novel in the Marius Quin series and, at the beginning of the novel, the reader finds Marius in a good place – he’s finally accepted that the war is over, his new novel is at his publisher’s and Bella, the woman he loves, is back in his life. At a Christmas party at Bella’s parents’ manor house, he runs into a white-haired lady, talking to herself. Adele Leach, “Aunt Addie,” says that she’d been to the police because a friend was in danger and, if anything happened to her friend, that she knows who her killer is, and then Adele rushes off. Quite soon thereafter, Adele is found dead and the police attribute her death to natural causes: She was in her 80’s and had a weak heart. Marius and Bella know better and go to Holly Village, where Adele lived, to investigate. Of course, more murder follows and the duo satisfyingly reveal the culprit, and the end of the novel is filled with Christmas cheer, reminiscent of A Christmas Carol by Dickens. The plot keeps the reader guessing, but what really appealed to me was the setting. Holly Village is right out of Dickens and is a real village which was built during the Victorian time, with twelve-dwellings, each with turrets, towers and gargoyles, located in the heart of London, next to Highgate Cemetery (an appropriate setting for a murder mystery)! I totally recommend this new Christmas novel by Benedict Brown.

An Old Prof's Delight
Format: Kindle
All of Mr. Brown's Marius Quin mysteries are interesting and thoroughly enjoyable reading. The characters, especially the main ones--Marius, Bella, and Percy--are among my all-time favorites, and that after more than 65 years of reading mysteries (started when I was 16)! I highly recommend "Holly Village," for Christmas or otherwise, and impatiently await the next book in the series.

I love this series so much!
Format: Kindle
It's not Christmas time without a Benedict Brown Christmas book! I love this series and I love how the characters are maturing/coming into their own. Marius and Bella are amazing and their banter is always top notch. I have read every single book this author has written and he still surprises me with his twists and who done it! The ending of this one was super emotional, I had tears during the reveal! I cannot wait for the next! Especially with the promise of big leaps in certain plot lines! Pick up this series, it is A++++ reading.

still loving the series!!
Format: Kindle
I’m a fan. Marius and Bella feel like friends now. But somehow the story took some time to build up; although I understand Bella’s torments and emotions need to be dealt with… I’m looking forward to the next one in the series!!
