Funny, when I was in Grand Bend recently I saw 3 copies of Deja Dead -
brand new! -  marked $3.81 Canadian!!! And yes, I have read it and loved
it! The only problem I had with it was the occasional French phrase
untranslated (it takes place in Montreal). My dad was French-Canadian
but I don't know a lot of it.
My recent reads?
Unnatural Exposure - Patricia Cornwell. I liked it, but felt there were
many issues left unresolved at the end. A lead-in to the next book?
Shakespeare's Champion - Charlaine Harris. This was an ARC of her newest
in the Lily Bard series. Very good, I like the character a lot. I think
this was better than the first which I also enjoyed.
Just bought Angel of Darkness by Caleb Carr. Next on my list after I
finish a non-mystery Like Water for Chocolate. This is my second read of
this, am reading it for a discussion group.
I also recently read two other non-mysteries - the first 2 books in the
Mitford series by Jan Karon. Very cozy! Not a bad thing happens in any
book!!!!!
