Excellent teaser, Harvee! I hope you enjoy the book.
ReplyDeleteBellezza: I have to confess that ever since I became a reader of Nancy Drew in grammar school I have become an avid reader of good mysteries, and this is one of them!
ReplyDeleteI love mysteries (and thrillers), too. Here's a confession: I've never read a Nancy Drew book! Do you think I should hand in my teaching certificate? :)
ReplyDeleteBellezza: It's never too late. I suggest you start with the original and first Nancy Drews.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the first two Benjamin Black mysteries, but never considered listening. Will look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Black is an author I've been wanting to try to ages. I've loved his books written as John Banville, but am interested to see how his writing changes for mysteries. I really should read him before he writes too many more!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...not usually my genre but I am curious as to how he was really killed!
