A simulation of PK looking up from her reading...hmm?

It's here! I worked until noon yesterday and there it was in the mailbox. I'm stunned and gobsmacked! Therefore...



I'm currently reading WHERE SHADOWS DANCE by C.S. Harris. This is 6th of 6 in series featuring Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, an investigator in Regency England. Here is a description:

Surgeon and "anatomist" Paul Gibson, illegally buys the cadaver of a young man from London's infamous body snatchers. A rising star at the Foreign Office, Mr. Alexander Ross was reported to have died of a weak heart. But when Gibson discovers a stiletto wound at the base of Ross's skull, he can turn only to Sebastian for help in catching the killer. Described by all who knew him as an amiable young man, Ross at first seems an unlikely candidate for murder. But as Sebastian's search takes him from the Queen's drawing rooms in St. James's Palace to the embassies of Russia, the United States, and the Turkish Empire, he plunges into a dangerous shadow land of diplomatic maneuvering and international intrigue, where truth is an elusive commodity and nothing is as it seems. Meanwhile, Sebastian must confront the turmoil of his personal life. Hero Jarvis, daughter of his powerful nemesis Lord Jarvis, finally agrees to become his wife. But as their wedding approaches, Sebastian can't escape the growing realization that not only Lord Jarvis but Hero herself knows far more about the events surrounding Ross's death than they would have him believe. Then a second body is found, badly decomposed but bearing the same fatal stiletto wound.

It was published March 2011 and has 352 pages. This is a terrific historical mystery series. I'm in book heaven after waiting a year for a new release by this author.



Today, I'll walk Tug -- in the snow -- and then work on my newsletter for most of the day. Steve went to his game night last night -- guys get together, network their computers, and play an all night session of a first-person shooter. He got home at 4 so I won't be seeing him today, maybe at dinner. He's worked hard all week putting the door in at the Metra so he needed some fun and now sleep. :) Not my kind of fun but there it is.



Otherwise, I believe I'll be reading.



Much love,
