This book is good. Seriously good.
Filled with flawed characters. Tons of them.
Total family dysfunction.
At its best.
It's over 600 pages long and I have been glued to every word.
Other than to make tea and eat a biscuit.
I am always influenced by what I read...sometimes in odd ways.
I am in the middle of this book and I have no clue what happened to Ian...there are so many possibilities. I suspect everyone.
Sigh...
Sometimes there is nothing in the world as comfy and as mesmerizing as a really good British mystery. Elizabeth George is a master of this kind of mystery.

But, are you loving it?
ReplyDeleteStill no rain here, but Seattle is taking a hit so I suspect we'll have something here soon. Maybe?
Yep...
DeleteI love this book...
ReplyDeleteOooo sounds good and complex.
ReplyDeleteI get influenced by what I'm reading too.
It happens to me all of the time!!!
DeleteI love British writers, whether the book is a mystery or a cozy tale like the ones Vincenzi writes; or perhaps something by Maeve Binchy.
ReplyDeleteI just finished my 627 page Vincenzi novel, and it was delicious, with suspense, drama, dysfunction, and a few cozy things along the way. Loved it!
Love the look of that scone...I'm drooling here!
I love Penny Vincenzi!!!
DeleteYou should try Deborah Crombie, too...
This book sounds fantastic! I love thinking of the cozy scene you put in my mind...tea...scones... and a good book! I can't wait to read this one!
ReplyDeleteJess...it totally is!!!
DeleteI'm sorry, did you say something about a book? I was too busy drooling over that scone...!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Jane...the scones sound yummy...don't they?
DeleteSounds good! This is just the kind of book I'd read and pass along to my mom. She loves a good mystery.
ReplyDeleteIt is intense and complicated but oh so good!!!
DeleteSo good book???
ReplyDeleteHi! I chanced upon your blog through the Comment Challenge, and I'm glad that it did.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I've been so absorbed with an adult novel (YA lit and picture books have taken me into their clutches) - but this does sound delectable (and yup, the scone looks yummy too!)
It is so old...but you must read one of her older ones first...her character development is amazing!!!
