Monday, lovely Monday

I'm about to start THE BETRAYAL OF TRUST by Susan Hill. This is 6th of 6 in series featuring Simon Serrailler, a police Chief Inspector in Lafferton, England. Here is a description:

Freak weather and flash floods have hit southern England. The small cathedral town of Lafferton is underwater, and a landslip on the moor has closed the roads. As the rain slowly drains away, a shallow grave--and a skeleton--are exposed; twenty years on, the remains of missing teenager Joanne Lowther have finally been uncovered. The case is reopened and Simon Serrailler is called in as Senior Investigating Officer. Joanne, an only child, had been on her way home from a friend's house that night. She was the daughter of a prominent local businessman, and her mother had killed herself two years after she disappeared, unable to cope.

It was published in the US in November and has 368 pages. This is a 14-day library book. I finished THE DROP by Michael Connelly yesterday. It was all right, better than some recent ones. There is one thing the author does that completely irks me: whenever anyone address Bosch, they always say his name, Harry. In real conversation I don't believe it happens as frequently. If one were to have a drinking game based on this... one would be passed out before a couple chapters were done.

I've got three 14-day books today from the library, the Hill, going to try the Tasha Alexander again, and stand alone by Emily Arsenault. So we'll see. The conflict is that there is a new Joliffe out tomorrow and I will get it at lunch.

All right, off you go.

Much love,
