Thursday

It's a rainy, windy, cold day here in Montana. It's only about 37 degrees out. Some towns are getting lots of snow. It's supposed to be rainy for the next week, so it must be Spring now.

I'm currently reading GOD OF THE HIVE by Laurie R. King. This is 10th of 10 in series featuring Mary Russell, student and then wife of Sherlock Holmes. Here is a description:

It began as a problem in one of Holmes’ beloved beehives, led to a murderous cult, and ended—or so they’d hoped—with a daring escape from a sacrificial altar. Instead, Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, have stirred the wrath and the limitless resources of those they’ve thwarted. Now they are separated and on the run, wanted by the police, and pursued across the Continent by a ruthless enemy with powerful connections.Unstoppable together, Russell and Holmes will have to survive this time apart, maintaining tenuous contact only by means of coded messages and cryptic notes. With Holmes’ young granddaughter in her safekeeping, Russell will have to call on instincts she didn’t know she had. But has the couple already made a fatal mistake by separating, making themselves easier targets for the shadowy government agents sent to silence them? From hidden rooms in London shops and rustic forest cabins to rickety planes over Scotland and boats on the frozen North Sea, Russell and Holmes work their way back to each other while uncovering answers to a mystery that will take both of them to solve. A hermit with a mysterious past and a beautiful young female doctor with a secret, a cruelly scarred flyer and an obsessed man of the cloth, Holmes’ brother, Mycroft, and an Intelligence agent who knows too much: Everyone Russell and Holmes meet could either speed their safe reunion or betray them to their enemies.

This was just published this week and has 368 pages. This series is the exception to the rule that I don't like Sherlock Holmes. The last book left on a sort of cliffhanger so now this book should be the conclusion of everything set in motion.

We have Survivor to watch tonight and one more day to go of the week -- wee haw!

Much love,
