-=>While in the White Hart, Maureen Goldman explained to Fred Runk that<=-
MG> SCHOOLED IN MURDER it for me. I think that's the title;
MG> something with the word "school". I had read an earlier book by
MG> her, and the scalding death of a character was already too
MG> strong for me. This one was centered around the death of a
MG> young schoolboy, cigarette burns on the corpse, etc.
Ok, guess those were a bit gruesome; however, those happened "offscene," so
that doesn't bother me. I would definitely get turned off if she favored us
with sizzle-by-sizzle descriptions.
FR> I haven't read any Cornwell yet, so I can't comment. What does Saylor
FR> write? His name is familiar.
MG> He writes a series that takes place in ancient Rome.
Hmm, another one. I have read the ones by Lindsay Davies or Davis?
featuring Falco the Informer.
Just wish to take this opportunity to wish one and all
