Monday. Back at work.
Receptionist home in the afternoon, not feeling well. It's ok.
The weekend was ok. Beautiful weather. I didn't go anywhere but did some beading and reading. So there.
Read this weekend COUNTERFEIT CONSPIRACIES by Ritter Ames. 1st of 5 in Bodies of Art series featuring Laurel Beacham, art recovery expert.
Laurel Beacham may have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but she has long since lost it digging herself out of trouble. Her father gambled and womanized his way through the family fortune before skiing off an Alp, leaving her with more tarnish than trust fund. Quick wits and connections have gained her a reputation as one of the world’s premier art recovery experts. The police may catch the thief, but she reclaims the missing masterpieces.The latest assignment, however, may be her undoing. Using every ounce of luck and larceny she possesses, Laurel must locate a priceless art icon and rescue a co-worker (and ex-lover) from a master criminal, all the while matching wits with a charming new nemesis. Unfortunately, he seems to know where the bodies are buried—and she prefers hers isn’t next.
Currently reading CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION by Peter Robinson. 21st of 27 in series featuring Alan Banks, Eastvale detective chief inspector, in Yorkshire, England.
The body of a disgraced college lecturer is found on an abandoned railway line. In the four years since his dismissal for sexual misconduct, he’d been living like a hermit. So where did he get the 5,000 pounds found in his pocket? Leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks begins to suspect that the victim's past may be connected to his death. Forty years ago the dead man attended a university that was a hotbed of militant protest and divisive, bitter politics. And as the seasoned detective well knows, some grudges are never forgotten—or forgiven. Just as he’s about to break the case open, his superior warns him to back off. Yet Banks isn’t about to stop, even if it means risking his career. He's certain there’s more to the mystery than meets the eye . . . and more skeletons to uncover before the case can finally be closed.
Published 2013; 401 pages. Not much is on TV these days so this weekend I caught some true crime shows which put me in the mood for a procedural. I've had this one on my Kindle since 2015 just waiting to get around to it.
Not much on TV. We'll probably watch Antiques Roadshow or something while having dinner. That's about it.
Have a good day
Much love,
