Hill/gravetapping

Currently reading A KILLING KINDESS by Reginald Hill. This is 7th of 24 in series featuring Superintendent Andrew Dalziel and Sergeant Peter Pascoe, in Yorkshire, England. Here is a description:

Dalziel and Pascoe are after "The Yorkshire Choker" - who has killed several local women, following up the murders with phoned-in quotes from Hamlet (mostly about the perils of marriage). The prime suspect is a swinish local teacher with a taste for young girls, and there's also suspicion about a gypsy camp on the town outskirts. If Superintendent Dalziel is unimpressed by the literary phone calls, he is downright angry when Sergeant Wield calls in a clairvoyant. Linguists, psychiatrists, mediums -- it's all a load of nonsense as far as he is concerned, designed to make a fool of him.

It was published in 1980 and has 304 pages. Reginald Hill won the Diamond Dagger Award in 1995.

Wednesday already. TV night with Lie to Me, America's Next Top Model, and Ghosthunters all on at 7. Steve doesn't have shooting tonight so not only will I have to come up with something for dinner, I won't have control of both tv's so will have to do some creative juggling. :)

I'm having lunch and reiki with JodyO again today. In fact, I'll have to leave in about 45 minutes so this will have to be a bit rushed. I had to pick up some groceries yesterday and got some very nice smelling candles -- I lit one last night and it smelled soooo good. Can't remember the maker right off hand but the candle's "scent" was "Moonlit Walk". Mmm'kay.

Today's Blog/Website of the Day is Gravetapping found at http://gravetapping.blogspot.com/. This is a more of a hardboiled book review site, that is, the crime fiction is tough and meaty. Sometimes you've got to mix it up a bit.

Gotta go put some makeup on so I can be seen in public. Then I've got to pick up Subway sandwiches and head over to JodyO's. Have a good middle-of-the-week.

Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
