 FH> 1997: 
 dr>      Thanks for the congrats. And thanks for giving me the names of
 dr>      Sharyn McCrumb books. 
 
 FH> I've read 7 or 8 McCrumb novels but most were bits of fluff.  The
 FH> three I mentioned are much more substantial. 
 
     Well, I have been known to read "bits of fluff" at times. (G).
     Lots of those around and help to lighten the mood after 
     reading something "profound." Speaking of which, I just finished
     The Last Castrato and have mixed emotions about it. Hard book
     to read and IMHO not for everyone. Goes into  great detail about 
     art, architecture and music of Florence, Italy.
     If one can wade through all of it, the mystery is pretty good,
     but I kind of figured out who the killer was pretty early on.
     Not that it wasn't well written, it was, but maybe I read so 
     many mysteries and have learned to look for obvious clues. 
     Does come to an exciting climax though. 
 dr>      Don't you participate in the Writing Conference on occasion?
 
FH> If I have participated in the writing conference,  I have done so
 FH> subconsciously as I don't think I've even subscribed to it.:-)  
 
     Well, guess it's only the Mystery conference I've seen your
     name. Scusa please. (G).
 
 FH> And if we were on the Internet, we might be truly international.  So
 FH> far, it's only Canada and the United States.
    I am on the internet and have received messages from as far away
    as Australia and the Middle East, as well as Canada. Oh, and 
    did I mention Yukon, Alaska? =:}.
    
    Exciting!
 
    By the way, have you ever read any of Rex Burns' mysteries?
    I found one in our library and have just started it. A Gabe
    Wager mystery. Gabe is a Homicide cop in Denver. This one
    is Ground Money, about a mystery with a rodeo setting. 
    This author has written several mysteries but is a new name
    to me. Think I'm going to like it. Will let you know.
    Happy reading,
    Dorothy
