“How did we ever get here, and how do we find our way back” is a concept that echoes throughout the selections in this week’s Newsmax Rising Bestsellers. One describes the disintegration of the Judeo-Christian values that formed the basis for the nation’s founding documents and the religious freedom enshrined in the First Amendment. Another explains how some of our U.S. presidents tackled crises in the past. Still another discusses free speech — a right the author declares “indispensable” to a free society and yet one that we may be in danger of losing. A final nonfiction selection reveals the plan to save Western Civilization from the rise of “wokeism.” In fiction, the novel of the week is a murder mystery taking place in a dark time and place in history.
“Some Murders in Berlin: A WWII Historical Novel,” by Karen Robards (MIRA)
In September 1943, Denmark is under Nazi control, so when Dr. Elin Lund, Copenhagen’s foremost expert in psychological profiling, is summoned to Berlin to assist in the investigation of the gruesome murders of eight young women, she reluctantly agrees to protect her son. As the investigation progresses, Erin becomes the next target of the serial killer. “It has been a long time since I’ve read a Karen Robards book – too long. I love historical fiction and adding in a mystery with the best parts of a thriller, and you have an amazing story. This book is excellent,” wrote Becky in her GoodReads review. “I absolutely loved this book. The history was incredibly well-written and full of suspense. Elin and Kurt are fully realized characters that the reader really gets an opportunity to know. I flew through the pages. This is one of the best books I’ve read this year.” [Fiction]“Cultural Meltdown: The Secular Roots of Our Moral Crisis,” by Bill Donohue (Sophia Institute Press)
