I'll be starting HUNTING SHADOWS by Charles Todd. This is 16th of 17 in series featuring an Rutledge, a shell-shocked World War I veteran returning to his job at Scotland Yard. Here is a description:
A society wedding at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire becomes a crime scene when a man is murdered. After another body is found, the baffled local constabulary turns to Scotland Yard. Though the second crime had a witness, her description of the killer is so strange its unbelievable. Despite his experience, Inspector Ian Rutledge has few answers of his own. The victims are so different that there is no rhyme or reason to their deaths. Nothing logically seems to connect them—except the killer. As the investigation widens, a clear suspect emerges. But for Rutledge, the facts still don’t add up, leaving him to question his own judgment. In going over the details of the case, Rutledge is reminded of a dark episode he witnessed in the war. While the memory could lead him to the truth, it also raises a prickly dilemma. To stop a murderer, will the ethical detective choose to follow the letter—or the spirit—of the law?
Steve has shooting tonight, I have Motive at 9pm. I'll have to force myself to stay awake. The last couple nights it's been nice to close my eyes at 8:30. And yes, I wake up a couple times in the night but that's going to happen anyway.
And this is good news:
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Woot! Really, it's not that far off.
And we'll end with some happy book thoughts....
Much love,
