The Blue Door Theatre players put their own comedic spin on “everyone’s favorite macabre guessing game.” Starting with cues from the crowd, the show is all improvised and rated for general audiences. Jori is especially distressed because Ray had denied killing Jackson, because a passing remark by her grandmother reveals that Jackson was actually adopted as a baby, and because a fresh discovery links Ray to the Cormier family, who disappeared without a trace 13 years ago. Next morning they get their wish when he’s found shot to death in his mother's house. No sooner has Ray Strickland, just released from prison, returned to Enigma for his mother’s funeral than Jori Trahern, running into him at a local bar, trash-talks him for killing her cousin, Jackson, and a bunch of guys start throwing punches at him and threaten to kill him. Herbert moves on from Normal, Alabama, to nearby Enigma, but keeps her unrelenting focus on Southern gothic, family-style. He fell into a coma his family was told he had a 2 percent chance of survival. It’s both a conventional memoir and an account of the dire events of 2018, when Perry’s colon exploded, a presumed side effect of his opiate use. The book arrives at a strange time, as our understanding of addiction grows and our tolerance for the problems of rich White men shrinks.

He went on to detox 65 more times, he estimates, spending millions of dollars and half of his ruined life in treatment facilities. The first time Matthew Perry went through detox, he was already as famous as a Beatle, thanks to his role as Chandler Bing on the culture-shifting 1990s sitcom “Friends.” He was also an addict, tormented by a long list of demons that eventually included Vicodin (55 pills a day, at his low point), alcohol, cocaine, Xanax and Suboxone. From a Washington Post review by Allison Stewart of the book by Matthew Perry titled “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing”: These stories are as entertaining as they are unforgettable. Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe's Stories I Only Tell My Friends delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes, disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters with people who shaped our world over the last twenty-five years. And in between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses that marked the eighties, leading to his quest for family and sobriety.

I stepped into the hallway and closed the door behind me, my eyes struggling to focus in the gloom I shivered at the sudden cold. Without thinking, I knew that I’d have to shift the door with my hip, at the point where it sticks against the floor. I pushed the front door open, half expecting to hear my mother’s voice calling out to me from the kitchen. I heard the water, and I smelled the earth, the earth in the shadow of the house, underneath the trees, in the places untouched by sunlight, the acrid stink of rotting leaves, and the smell transported me back in time. Jules returns to help Lena, Nel’s daughter, during the investigation. Of course, once Nel is dead, Jules her sister must come back to the Mill House, the place where bad things happened when the two were teens. None of them know but they all take over the narrative long enough to tell you what they don’t know and why. Not the close-mouthed Detective Inspector or the newly-arrived Detective Sergeant, or the high school principal, or her teacher, or the mother of the fifteen year old who committed suicide in the pool only weeks before. No one quite knows what led Nel Into the Water. His media empire encompasses Chile’s renowned national newspaper, El Mercurio, a second national paper, Ultimas Noticias, and Santiago’s leading afternoon paper, La Segunda, along with a dozen smaller regional journals. ‘Doonie’, as Edwards is known to his closest friends, is the patriarch of the press – a Chilean Rupert Murdoch. The editor of the leftist magazine Puncto Final, Manuel Cabieses, has filed a formal petition accusing Edwards of violating the academy’s code of ethics by conspiring with the Nixon White House and the CIA between 19 to foment the military coup that overthrew the elected government of Salvador Allende and brought General Augusto Pinochet to power, thirty years ago this month. “For the better part of two years, a group of editors, journalism students, and human rights lawyers in Santiago, Chile, have been gathering evidence against their country’s leading media mogul, Agustín Edwards, to, at minimum, have him expelled from the press guild, the Academy of Chilean Journalists.
