Wednesday

I’m currently reading THE YARD by Alex Grecian. This is a debut, featuring Detective Walter Day, of The Murder Squad, in late Victorian London. Here is a description:

Victorian London is a cesspool of crime, and Scotland Yard has only twelve detectives—known as “The Murder Squad”—to investigate countless murders every month. Created after the Metropolitan Police’s spectacular failure to capture Jack the Ripper, The Murder Squad suffers rampant public contempt. They have failed their citizens. But no one can anticipate the brutal murder of one of their own . . . one of the twelve . . .When Walter Day, the squad’s newest hire, is assigned the case of the murdered detective, he finds a strange ally in the Yard’s first forensic pathologist, Dr. Bernard Kingsley. Together they track the killer, who clearly is not finished with The Murder Squad . . . but why?

Published in May 2012, it has 432 pages. This is a 14-day library book. I’m not sure yet if I’ll stick with it; I’m only a few pages into it and it hasn’t grabbed me yet. But I'm giving it a healthy shot.

It was a lovely, cool day today. Amazing. Misty rain, temps no higher than the 60s. Ahhhh. Steve is out shooting tonight. The boys and I are hanging out. I'm making macaroni and Velveeta cheese tonight in a huge batch to take in a crockpot to a potluck at work tomorrow. It's all I can contribute with what I have in the house. Fingers crossed.

Much love,
