NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYNPR - Cosmopolitan - Kirkus Reviews - BookPage A page-turning thriller for readers of Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, and Stieg Larsson, Night Film tells the haunting story of a journalist who becomes obsessed with the mysterious death of a troubled prodigy--the daughter of an iconic, reclusive filmmaker. On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley's life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordova--a man who hasn't been seen in public for more than thirty years. For McGrath, another death connected to this seemingly cursed family dynasty seems more than just a coincidence. Though much has been written about Cordova's dark and unsettling films, very little is known about the man himself. Driven by revenge, curiosity, and a need for the truth, McGrath, with the aid of two strangers, is drawn deeper and deeper into Cordova's eerie, hypnotic world. The last time he got close to exposing the director, McGrath lost his marriage and his career. This time he might lose even more. Night Film, the gorgeously written, spellbinding new novel by the dazzlingly inventive Marisha Pessl, will hold you in suspense until you turn the final page. Praise for Night Film
"Night Film has been precision-engineered to be read at high velocity, and its energy would be the envy of any summer blockbuster. Your average writer of thrillers should lust for Pessl's deft touch with character."--Joe Hill, The New York Times Book Review
"Mysterious and even a little head-spinning, an amazing act of imagination."--Dean Baquet, The New York Times Book Review
"Maniacally clever . . . Cordova is a monomaniacal genius who creeps into the darkest crevices of the human psyche. . . . As a study of a great mythmaker, Night Film is an absorbing act of myth-making itself. . . . Dastardly fun . . . The plot feels like an M. C. Escher nightmare about Edgar Allan Poe. . . . You'll miss your subway stop, let dinner burn and start sleeping with the lights on."--The Washington Post
"Haunting . . . a suspenseful, sprawling page-turner."--USA Today "Entrancing and delightful . . . a] whipsmart humdinger of a thriller . . . It feels, above all things, new."--The Boston Globe
"Gripping . . . a masterful puzzle . . . Pessl builds up real suspense."--Entertainment Weekly
"A very deeply imagined book . . . sprints to an ending that's equal parts nagging and haunting: What lingers, beyond all the page-turning, is a density of possible clues that leaves you leafing backward, scanning fictional blog comments and newspaper clippings, positive there's some secret detail that will snap everything into focus."--New York
"Hypnotic . . . The real and the imaginary, life and art, are dizzyingly distorted not only in a Cordova night film . . . but in Pessl's own Night Film as well."--Vanity Fair

This a an excellent comprehensive text that would be an asset to any project manager.
Format: Kindle
This is the best project management book I have read in many years. It is structured in a comprehensive and clear format that allows the reader to follow the author. The author has also provided clarity on different methods of project management that can be used to manage a variety of projects with examples of how each method can be applied. In addition to the knowledge of project management and excellent examples of how each method can be applied the author has provided keynotes to other references a reader can seek out for additional reading. This is an excellent text that I wish had been available to me years ago. 👍🏻

Become a Project Management Pro
Format: Kindle
This book is all about the ins and outs of managing a project from start to finish, and it's broken down so it's easy to understand. The practical examples helped me understand the concepts, and I've been using the tips at work, making my projects run smoother than ever. I especially appreciated the step-by-step guide to implementing these principles.
If you're new to project management, or if you've been winging it and want to step up your game, I'd highly recommend this book.

Easy to use organized guide that takes you step by step through a process
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I've been investing in real estate for 5+ years and have worked for a private equity group as Director of Acquisitions. To be successful as an investor, you need to have a system. That's what I like about Symon's book. He presents a very systematic way to invest in real estate.
The Table of Content presents a strong outline that takes you from the Why of real estate investing to How to expand your portfolio and work with partners.
The book also has several helpful charts and images to drive home each lesson.
Although the book feels comprehensive like a textbook, it's written in a way that's easy to understand and logical to follow.
Symon's approach is also very metrics based (see photos). His scorecards help you test out your ideas by creating objective metrics to look at.
I highly recommend this book!
