Self Improvement AND Murder?The Self Improvement Book Club Murder, by Todd Wright, is a murder mystery about Detective Bookman's journey to enlightenment, along the way, he just happens to solve the murder of Sue Ellen Pinkus, who was a member of the so called Self Improvement Book Club. Detective Bookman and his partner Alec Berg are faced with some "Self Improvement" of their own as they search for clues within the books from the club.
Wright's work of fiction sent me on a personal quest to read the non-fiction books the club members were so passionate about, such as; A New Earth, The Power of Now, The Secret, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Think and Grow Rich, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and many more. Two thirds of the way through The Self-Improvement Book Cub Murder, I was no longer concerned with "who did it" (I had complete confidence in Bookman) instead I wanted to follow Detective Bookman's path of personal growth! I was encouraged to start my own Self-Improvement book club (one where we actually read the books) and I have recommended this book to several friends.
I enjoyed the fictional setting and appreciated Wright's depth of understanding of "New Earth" concepts, which were very obvious through the insights and application of those concepts he brought out in his character's daily lives, all in just over 200 pages! If you are a Tolle fan, you don't want to miss this book! I look forward to improving myself further with Wright's next book.
