Right now I'm reading #19 in the Phryne Fisher series from Kerry Greenwood. Unnatural Habits. I was in a bit of a funk before I started reading this, couldn't decide what to read. And then remembered I'd been saving this for just such a time. What a delight Phryne is!! Truly. I hope Amazon US gets its act together and makes #20 available soon. Otherwise, I think I'm going to have to take a little vacation to Australia for a few minutes to correct that little problem.  |
Finished it, and enjoyed it very much indeed. This book especially I felt was very different from the TV version of it. They really weren't able to get across the horrible conditions and treatment, and much of the subplot was lost as well. Not that the TV version wasn't good, but it just wasn't the same story really. IAC, Phryne never disappoints.
Next was
The Case is Closed, by Patricia Wentworth. This is #2 in the Miss Silver series, and is PD in Canada. I do enjoy Miss Silver, and this was one I had missed. I think I'll be taking a run through them for a bit, since I can get many of them from Project Gutenberg Canada or the Faded Page site.
Now reading
The Green Rider, by Kirsten Britain. I read this when it first came out, and liked it, and liked the later books in the series. But I'm finding I have less tolerance for some of the
Deus ex Machina going on this time. I realize it's a fantasy, but still, it's a bit much...
