Just finished Evil Under the Sun by Agatha Christie per the excellent reco by HarryT.

Next up A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters. This is the first in the Brother Cadfael series. I read all of these back in the 80s but can't hurt to have another go.

I recently finished reading Agency Woman by John A A Logan. I found this novel fascinating.

It felt like a study rather than a story. The action and the narrative took second place to an inside to outside examination of a burnt-out agent dragged unwillingly back into the game.

I loved it, but I think you need to know and approve of what you're getting into beforehand to avoid disappointment. The action only warms up a little towards the end of the novel and you spend most of the time inhabiting the mind of this burn-out.

In the end, I felt that the author had given me a clear reason never to romanticise espionage. I give it a strong recommendation (with the provisos mentioned) and will take the opportunity to again give a shout out for his earlier novel The Survival of Thomas Ford which I also thoroughly enjoyed.

Opps, that was an ITV production from G.B. They did show it on PBS, though.

It's getter more and more rare to come across books that aren't available for ereaders, but it's still irritating when it happens. I suppose if enough people request books in the Brother Cadfael series, the publisher will take notice. I already clicked the "Tell the Publisher! I'd like to read this book on Kindle" button at Amazon.

Maybe if I started a chain email.

Everyone who reads this: If you love your country and care about decency, our children, and all good things, forward this to 10 of your closest friends.

I finished several books in the past week or so. I read Akhenaten and The Picture of Dorian Gray for the clubs and really enjoyed the reread of Dorian Gray.

I read Murder at Fenway Park by Troy Soos. It was okay, but I'd like to know if his writing gets any better as the series progresses. If not, I don't think I'll read another. I like the time period and the baseball/mystery element, but found the writing pretty juvenile.

I read The Son of a Certain Woman by Wayne Johnston. This was very different than anything else by Johnston, but a fabulous book! I'm actually not a big John Irving fan, but this story could have been concocted by Irving. Johnston is a great writer and I couldn't put this book down.

Yes, great fun. The name gets explained plausibly. The adventure is big scale space opera. Highly recommended. I'm really looking forward to reading the second one.
