ST> I have heard good things about them. There is something about the time 
period
 ST> that turns me off. Must be my years of Latin in Catholic School.
 ST> 
 That would do it!  Do you have the same reaction to Brother Cadfael?
 ST> I have never read any Sherlock Holmes. (My son had read almost all of 
them).
 ST> But I LOVED BEEK.
 "Monstrous Regiment" is next.  I just haven't opened it up yet.
 ST> I have a couple of his books in the TBR pile but have never read them. 
Another
 ST> author still waiting for me. 
 Yep!  Thankfully!
 ST> I started reading a new author yesterday. Her name is Barbara Jaye 
Wilson and
 ST> the book is called "Death Brims Over". The main character, Brenda 
Midnight, is
 ST> a milliner. The marketing on the book has been great. First we got a 
postcard
 ST> touting it, then a little hatbox with a black rose in it. It made me 
pick it
 ST> up! And it hooked me from page one!
 ST> I really like the writing style and the characters. It's in paperback.
 I'll try to keep her name in mind (ha!) for the next bookstore foray.
