Monday again. Steve and I both are fending off a flu bug. I slept most of yesterday. Better today but not quite there yet.
I finished the Robb book. Very good, per usual.
And I read and finished MURDER ON SISTERS' ROW by Victoria Thompson. 13th of 20 in series featuring Sarah Brandt, a midwife in turn-of-the-20th-century
New York City:
With the help of a charitable lady of means, midwife Sarah Brandt
rescues a young woman and her newborn from the brothel where the mother
was forced to prostitute herself. But their success comes at a high
price when their benefactor is found murdered. Though the
brothel's madam is immediately considered a suspect, Sarah and Sergeant
Frank Malloy investigate, uncovering some unpleasant truths about the
victim and her charity-and the woman and child Sarah risked her own life
to save.

I think I'm sticking now with THE GUESTS ON SOUTH BATTERY by Karen White. 5th of 5 in series featuring Melanie Middleton, inheriting an historic
home with ghosts, in Charleston, South Carolina.
With her extended maternity leave at its end, Melanie Trenholm is less
than thrilled to leave her new husband and beautiful twins to return to
work, especially when she’s awoken by a phone call with no voice on the
other end—and the uneasy feeling that the ghostly apparitions that have
stayed silent for more than a year are about to invade her life once
more. But her return to the realty office goes better than
she could have hoped, with a new client eager to sell the home she
recently inherited on South Battery. Most would treasure living in one
of the grandest old homes in the famous historic district of Charleston,
but Jayne Smith would rather sell hers as soon as possible,
guaranteeing Melanie a quick commission. Despite her stroke
of luck, Melanie can’t deny that spirits—both malevolent and benign—have
started to show themselves to her again. One is shrouded from sight,
but appears whenever Jayne is near. Another arrives when an old cistern
is discovered in Melanie’s backyard on Tradd Street. Melanie knows nothing good can come from unearthing the past. But some secrets refuse to stay buried....

Couple great moments in NCIS: Los Angeles last night. Deeks rescues Kensi, doesn't even let the bad guy complete his threat.
Look at that "don't mess with me face"!!
Next great moment, Deeks expressed his feelings:
Nothing on TV for me tonight, which is good because I'm going to go to bed early.
Even earlier than usual.
Have a great day
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
