Two books recently completed:
"Dancers in Mourning", by Margery Allingham. The 9th book in the Campion series, and enjoyable as always. Campion is called in by a friend whose book has been produced as a stage play, when the star of the show starts experiencing a campaign of petty but annoying, attacks. The inevitable murder soon occurs, though, and Campion has to solve it. Very enjoyable.
"Howard Carter and the Discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun", by H.V.F. Winstone. An excellent biography of Howard Carter by a historian renowned for his biographies of archaeologists. Very readable and highly recommended if anyone has an interest in the subject matter. This was a paper book.
I'm now reading "For King and Country" by Robert Asprin and Linda Evans, which is annoying me in its use of American spellings for British things, such as "Ministry of Defense" (sic). No, sorry, it's "Ministry of Defence", no matter what the nationality of the author. This is just so irritating
. Why can't authors take more care?
