Today's Blog/Website of the Day is Material Witness found at http://materialwitness.typepad.com. "Fiction for the criminally inclined."
I finished FLYING TOO HIGH by Kerry Greenwood. Very fluffy, being overly concerned about what Phryne was wearing and eating, but a quick, light read. Currently reading THE HOLY INNOCENTS by Kate Sedley. This is 4th of 18 in series featuring Roger the Chapman, a 15th century chapman (peddler) in England. Here is a description:
With the War of the Roses a distant backdrop, the recently widowed Roger arrives in the town of Totnes, where he is asked to guard a fine house in the absence of its owner, Eudo Colet. A tavernkeeper, intimating witchcraft, tells Roger about the strange disappearance and death of Mary and Andrew, Colet's stepchildren, who had recently lost their mother, heiress Rosamund Crouchback. The children's nurse, a poor cousin of the dead heiress who hates Colet, asks the chapman to investigate. It was believed that the children, whose mutilated bodies were later found in the river, could not have left the house unobserved. At the time of their disappearance, Colet had been in the company of a town notable. Probing the seemingly prosperous and contented village society, Roger uncovers deep wells of greed and jealousy.
It was published in 1994 and has 280 pages.
Tonight on tv is another Agatha Christie Miss Marple on PBS Masterpiece Theatre Mystery as well as Next Food Network Star and HGTV Design Star. Everyone wants to be a star and be on tv. Oy.
It's hitting the 90s today; Steve is mowing but otherwise we're keeping cool and relaxed. :)
Much love,
