The first Monk book she wrote was very intriguing, but I didn't go on reading that either. There are so many excellent mysteries these days that I don't want to spend time with a bunch of quivering shaking trembling people! That sounds so odd. I did recently pick up The Salzburg Connection (You could have read it at the fair you just attended, though it's very Cold War) by Helen MacInnes. She's a writer from the past whom I enjoy. But then the new Deborah Crombie arrived, No Mark Upon Her, and I jumped into that.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-26423724014209651362011-11-13T22:35:19.941+01:002011-11-13T22:35:19.941+01:00It's amazing the things one learns!

Through your comment I heard of the murder for the very first time.<br /><br />Jane and Lance, you are right - there is too much really good stuff out there to be read, and after what I learnt from Fi about the author's past, I don't think I want to give her work a try again.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-49894913006767701732011-11-13T14:41:54.313+01:002011-11-13T14:41:54.313+01:00Hello:

The period of this novel is not particularly appealing, we rather favour a few decades further on, and the prospect of the shivering shuddering characters we do find unattractive.<br /><br />With so many wonderful novels on our to read list, which, incidentally, seems to expand rather than diminish, we are not sure that Anne Perry will make it to the cut!!<br /><br />Thank you so much for your comment on our recent post to which we have made reply, and for signing up as a Follower. We are pleased to return the compliment.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-63064173423168584022011-11-13T11:20:25.187+01:002011-11-13T11:20:25.187+01:00Have been reading an article about Anne Perry this...Have been reading an article about Anne Perry this weekend... have never read her work, but interested to see this today. Christchurch tends to remember this particular incident - and Heavenly Creatures was filmed here - my sons wedding reception was held in the Hulme house at the University, now the Staff Club. My friends daughter was in the movie working with Peter jackson - she even sang one scene at Girls High School with a hymn book that belonged to one of the girls... <br /><br />http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/lifestyle/mainlander/5954279/Sensational-murder-revisited<br /><br />http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/3544438/Killer-revisted-50-years-after-murder<br /><br />http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/lifestyle/3588577/Delving-into-a-closed-bookFi from Four Paws and Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217307759511472654noreply@blogger.com
