I finished CHAMBERS OF DEATH by Priscilla Royal. This author captures the daily "obsession" of the times of good versus evil, God versus Satan, emphasis on heaven versus a secular life.
I'm currently reading A GENTLEMAN OF FORTUNE by Anna Dean. This is 2nd of 2 in series featuring Miss Dido Kent, amateur sleuth in Regency England. Here is a description:
It is Richmond, 1806. Miss Dido Kent has developed rather a taste for mysteries. Having solved the riddle of her niece's missing fiance and the body in the bushes at Belsfield Hall, she is finding her quiet holiday at her cousin Flora's home rather unchallenging to say the least. And Miss Dido Kent is a woman who likes to be challenged. So when a neighbour dies suddenly, leaving her entire estate to her young nephew, Miss Dido can't help but be suspicious. But is her over-active imagination making her look for murder where there is none? When the local doctor pronounces an overdose as the cause of death and publicly accuses the nephew of killing his aunt, Miss Dido feels her inquisitiveness is justified. And when Flora prevails upon her cousin's mystery-solving capabilities to prove the nephew innocent of the crime, Miss Dido can hardly refuse to comply. After all, what harm can a little investigating do? With dirty dealings and death amongst Richmond's upper classes, Miss Dido Kent is ideally placed to observe her neighbours' behaviour, and as she does so, she brings more to light than even she could have imagined.
This was published in 2009 and has 288 pages. This series overflows with the language of Jane Austen.
Tonight on tv, I've got The Closer and No Reservations.
Haven't heard from the doctor yet regarding results of the biopsy. I had an appointment with another doctor this morning; it was more a check in type visit; we can't really do anything until the results are known except what I've been doing previously: elevate the leg and drink lots of water. I'll be seeing him again in two weeks.
So, a whole lot of Blah-ville today. Sorry.
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
