Happy Father's Day!
Celebrate by kicking back with a good book.
Finally finished Demon Copperhead. Whew. That was a lot more than I ever wanted to know about drug addiction. No doubt a great many people benefited from reading it, though. I feel strongly compelled now to read the Dickens story. Checking its status at the library it appears I am not the only one.
Now I'm reading Crimson Shore by Preston & Child. The 15th Pendergast novel. In the quaint seaside village of Exmouth, Massachusetts, a town with a very dark and troubled history, a seemingly straightforward private case turns out to be much more complicated. "Highly entertaining and genuinely thrilling." - Anne Rice. I'm sure liking it.
The 23rd Pendergast novel is due out this August.
Listening to Death Comes to Marlow by Robert Thorogood. Meet Judith Potts, a skinny-dipping, whiskey-sipping, crossword puzzle author. She gets a call from Sir Peter Bailey who is inviting notable citizens to his house to celebrate the day before his wedding. Sadly, the groom-to-be gets crushed to death in his study and the door was locked from the inside. "Fiendishly clever."
