Beneath Devil's Bridge: Book By Loreth Anne “The suspenseful, multilayered plot is matched by fully realized characters. White consistently entertains.” —Publishers Weekly “If I'm lucky, maybe once in a blue moon, I read a book that leaves my mind reeling, heart aching and soul searching. One that haunts me long after The End. Beneath Devil's Bridge is one of those books.” —Mystery & Suspense Magazine Website: https://gobookmart.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

I denne anden af tre episoder fra Antigua, tager jeg til nogle ”must-see-steder” på øen. Vi skal til Devil's Bridge, Shirley Heights for at se solnedgangen, vi skal lære at sejle en lille sejlbåd og et par andre steder.   FAKTA OM ANTIGUA OG BARBUDA Antigua & Barbuda er et af de mindste lande i verden – både hvad angår befolkningstal og areal. Der bor omkring 80.000 i landet og det er 442 km2 stort – lidt mindre end Andorra, lidt større end Malta. Det officielle sprog er engelsk og valutaen er østcaribiske dollar (XCD), men amerikanske dollars er ligeså gangbart. Den største af de to øer – og den vi er på, er Antigua, som ligger ca. 40 km syd for Barbuda. Her er en befolkning på 65.000, og lidt mere end halvdelen af ​​dem bor i hovedstaden, St. John. på den nordvestlige kyst af øen.   LÆR TIL SEJLE ”At sejle en lille sejlbåd er ikke kompliceret”. Det var hvad instruktøren fortalte os, men vi skulle snart snart finde ud af, hvor nemt det er. Efter den korte introduktion til kunsten at sejle, blev vi delt ud i fire små sejlbåde – fire personer plus en instruktør i hver. Vi skiftede til at være ”kaptajn” på båden. Hver gang vi ændrede retning skulle vi flytte os fra den ene side af båden til den anden. Og det er her, vi skulle holde hovedet nede, når bommen under sejlet bevæger sig fra den ene side til den anden. På et tidspunkt, da det var Jamies tur at være kaptajnen, glemte han at advare os og bommen kom med høj hastighed mod mit hoved. Jeg nåede bare lige akkurat at dukke mig; ellers ville den have ramt mig i panden og sandsynligvis slået mig ud eller i vandet. Gudskelov overlevede jeg, for der er så mange andre eventyr der venter her på Antigua.   SHIRLEY HEIGHTS Øens højeste punkt er er en bakketop der tidligere hed Boggy Peak. Med bare 402 meter over havets overflade kan det vel næppe kaldes et bjerg. Men de gør det nu. Den 4. august 2009 på Barack Obamas 48 års fødselsdag omdøbte Antiguas statsminister, Baldwin Spencer bakken til Mount Obama. I denne episode tager vi til et andet sted med udsigt: Shirley Heights. Det er et perfekt sted at se solnedgangen. Det ligger på sydspidsen af ​​øen – med udsigt over The English Harbour. Hver aften tiltrækker det mange mennesker. Der er et par restauranter og barer, der serverer burgere og Rum Punch og så er der et olietønde-band, og ifølge stedets direktør, Valerie, er det det bedste steel band i verden. Jeg taler med hende om, hvordan hun og hendes bror forvandlede dette historiske sted til en turistattraktion.   VEJRET I ANTIGUA Klimaet er tropisk havklima og temperaturen varierer ikke ret meget hen over året. Det meste af Caribien er varmt og solrigt, men Antigua kan bryste sig med at være den mest solrige af de østlige caribiske øer. Temperaturerne ligger på 21 om vinteren og 27 om sommeren.    ISLAND SAFARI Tag også med på en såkaldt safari omkring på øen. Ikke for at se dyr, men for at udforske øens forskellige seværdigheder. Vores første stop var meget tæt på hvor vi bor, og det er et ”must see” ved kysten kaldet Devil's Bridge. Det er ikke en menneskeskabt bro, men noget, der er naturligt formet af de voldsomme bølger, der gennem tiden har smadret ind mod klippekysten. Det er også et sted med historie. I gamle dage var det her, afrikanske slaver begik selvmord. Jeg taler med vores guide, Bernadette om dette. Vores næste stop var et sted de tjente nogle fremragende gade fødevarer i papkrus. Det var en traditionel Antigua Gumbo.   LANDET MED 365 STRANDE Antigua & Barbuda kaldes "Landet med 365 strande". Og med "en strand for hver dag på året" er det også et populært sted for bryllupper. Det anslås, at der er 1200 bryllupper om året. Mange af dem på en hvid sandstrand som der, hvor vi sluttede vores Island Safari.   SMID MIG EN LINJE Jeg deler meget om mit liv i denne podcast, og nu vil jeg gerne høre fra dig.

Bob and Rick visit Spooky Lane to investigate The Devil's Bridge, where the face of Satan himself is said to have been seen, as well as ghost monks, strange noises, and flashing lights.

She served as head of the sex crimes unit of the Manhattan District Attorney's office from 1976 until 2002 and is the author of a series of novels featuring Manhattan prosecutor Alexandra Cooper. Devil's Bridge In her seventeenth Alexandra Cooper thriller, New York Times bestselling author Linda Fairstein takes readers where they have never been before: Inside the mind of NYPD Detective Mike Chapman. The Manhattan waterfront is one of New York City's most magnificent vistas, boasting both the majestic Statue of Liberty and the George Washington Bridge, the world's busiest span for motor vehicles. But in Devil's Bridge, Detective Mike Chapman will discover the peril that lurks along this seemingly benign expanse as he takes on his most personal case yet:  the disappearance of Alex Cooper. Coop's sudden disappearance is fraught with terrifying complications:  scores of enemies she has made after a decade of putting criminals behind bars; a recent security breach with dangerous repercussions; and a new intimacy in her relationship with Mike, causing the Police Commissioner himself to be wary of the methods Mike will use to get Coop back... if he can.

In the hands of author Linda Fairstein, fictional sex-crimes prosecutor Alex Cooper has enjoyed a career spanning 17 books and almost two decades. Cooper's 16th adventure, Terminal City, was selected as one of the three finalists for the 2015 Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction. Fairstein spoke with the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles to discuss Terminal City and Devil's Bridge, the newly released 17th book in the Alex Cooper series. She also shared some exciting news about a brand new project she has in the works.

  In today’s podcast we are talking about "la leggenda del ponte del diavolo" (the legend of The Devil’s Bridge)…or how to trick the devil and make him madder than Hell! My special guest in this episode is Daniela Bonaccorsi, one of the head teachers at Lucca Italian School. Recently I recorded Daniela as she told the story about the famous “Devil’s bridge” that crosses the River Serchio just north of the city of Lucca. This is a wonderful opportunity to listen to Daniela’s Tuscan accent and hear her version of this famous story.

Brownies are a kind of faerie.  They're in the category of Hob, a "house spirit" in the U.K. (Possible connection with Hobbits?) A Hob may be a word that evolved from the English given name of Robin, related to Robin Goodfellow, another name for a Brownie in southern England.  Hobs appear to be related to the Swedish Tomte or Tomtars, with a history similar to Ireland's Tuatha De Danann.  In both cases, these faeries retired to the "hollow hills" or Brughs: Hollow faerie mounds in which several families live (or lived). A Hobgoblin is a cousin of the Brownie, and -- perhaps because he's more of a practical joker -- the Hobgoblin is sometimes considered a poltergeist rather than a faerie.  Dobby in the Harry Potter stories seemed to be related to hobgoblins; a Dobie is another term for a brownie, in some areas, or it can mean a ghostly entity in other areas. Brownies are usually: Solitary faeries, seen alone or in very small groups. Male (but some are married, and that's usually the only time a female Brownie is seen). 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall, but some are described as being six or seven inches tall. Naked and very hairy, or dressed in brown clothing, with shaggy brown hair. Associated with a pond, pool or stream. (Brownies may have webbed fingers, making swimming easier. Brownies may become attached to a family or one member of the family.  Brownies usually prefer rural homes and farms, where they may work at night, farming or cleaning. Brownies are most prevalent in northern England and in Scotland. Favorite Brownie foods include a bowl of cream or rich, whole milk; cakes with honey; and corn muffins, possibly served with honey. However, you must be very clear when you set out the treats for the Brownie:  This is not a payment for his (or her) work.  In most cases, if you try to pay a Brownie, he'll leave.  He doesn't work for payment. In contrast, areas such as Lincolnshire have Brownies that like to be paid, and specifically with clothing.  On New Year's Eve, Brownies in Lincolnshire have each been paid with a traditional white linen smock. Other Brownies will leave if you try to give them any kind of clothing.  This raises the question: Do they resent the payment, or does the gift of clothing set them free, as with Harry Potter's Dobby? Similar names and words "Brownie" may be spelled Browney, Brouny, or Browny.  However, the Brownie should not be confused with the Cornish Browney, a spirit or faerie that protects (or perhaps is) the bees. Brownies may be related to the Brown Man of the Muirs, a spirit or faerie that protects and guards the wild beasts along Scotland's Border Country. Brownies and devils In his book, Daemonologie, King James I said that brownies are devils, but they do no harm. Devil's Bridges Devil's Bridges are a category of bridge from Medieval (not Roman) times.  They exist in England and in Europe.  The name may come from one of three sources: 1. The bridge was built by the Devil. 2. The bridge was built with the Devil's help. 3. The bridge proves the might of the bridge builders, and makes less of the Devil. This kind of folklore relates to fairy (faerie) tales.  In the typical story, the bridge builder makes a deal with the Devil:  If the Devil will build the bridge himself, in one night, the Devil can then take the soul of the first person to cross the bridge. After the bridge is built, the Devil tricks the bridge builder into crossing the bridge, so the bridge builder loses his own soul as payment. This relates to stories such as Rumplestiltskin, in which flax is spun into gold overnight, and the young woman must guess the name of Rumplestiltskin, or later give up her first child to the dwarf or goblin. (Of course, she outwits Rumplestiltskin and declares his name, so she forfeits nothing.) One bridge called "the Devil's Bridge" is in Carnforth, in Lancashire, England.
