Which as you know is the reason for my summer-only rule! I want to spin these out as long as I can.

I haven't read Robertson Davies. Where should I start?
I would suggest that you start with Tempest-Tost, the first of the Salterton trilogy and his first novel. The later Deptford trilogy is regarded as his greatest work, but it's not as much fun and it's not available in audio.

Meanwhile, I just picked up a 12th century mystery by Roberta Gellis, based solely on the narrator -- Nadia May.
And there's the trifecta in only two posts! Davidson, Vance, May, or whatever variation in name suits. My three greatest of narrators.
