-=>While in the White Hart, Susan Bulla explained to Fred Runk that<=-
 FR>  It is.  I just finished reading it.  The apprentice 
 FR> is a 19 year old Mary
 FR> Russell who stumbles across Holmes one day while she 
 FR> is roaming the fields of
 FR> Sussex Downs.
 SB> I also enjoyed this one and I generally prefer contemporary
 SB> mysteries.
I prefer police procedurals among the contemporary mysteries--especially
Scotland Yard or English police mysteries.  I also like some of the
"historical" mysteries--Brother Cadfael, Falco the informer, Inspctr. Monk
or rather Private Investigator Monk...
 
 FR>  Laurie R. King has a second in that series out now--A 
 FR> MONSTROUS REGIMENT OF
 FR> WOMEN.
 SB> Have you read this one, Fred.  I believe I recall some comments in
 SB> this conference about people being disappointed in this one.
Not yet, but I will as I did like the first one.  I also have King's first
novel, A GRAVE TALENT.  I do remember similar comments, but I don't remember
anything specific.
 SB> King also has two or three out with a San Francisco police officer
 SB> (Kate Martinelli) as the main character.  I enjoy this series.
Yes--I think I have the first one, A GRAVE TALENT.
