 RW> The pop-lit press up here in Canada has been hyping Kathy Reich's
 RW> first book 'Deja Dead' as being the best thing since Patricia Cornwell.
 RW> I haven't read the book yet, so I'll hold my judgement; but the more a
 RW> book is hyped, usually the less I like it - the John Grisham syndrome,
 RW> need I say more?  Has anybody out there read this book yet and want to
 RW> offer an opinion?
 ST>
 ST> Funny, when I was in Grand Bend recently I saw 3 copies of Deja Dead -
 ST> brand new! -  marked $3.81 Canadian!!! And yes, I have read it and
 ST> loved it! The only problem I had with it was the occasional French
 ST> phrase untranslated (it takes place in Montreal). My dad was
 ST> French-Canadian but I don't know a lot of it.
 ST>
 ST> My recent reads?
 ST>
 ST> Unnatural Exposure - Patricia Cornwell. I liked it, but felt there
 ST> were many issues left unresolved at the end. A lead-in to the next
 ST> book?
 ST> Shakespeare's Champion - Charlaine Harris. This was an ARC of her
 ST> newest in the Lily Bard series. Very good, I like the character a lot.
 ST> I think this was better than the first which I also enjoyed.
 ST>
 ST> Just bought Angel of Darkness by Caleb Carr. Next on my list after I
 ST> finish a non-mystery Like Water for Chocolate. This is my second read
 ST> of this, am reading it for a discussion group.
 ST>
 ST> I also recently read two other non-mysteries - the first 2 books in
 ST> the Mitford series by Jan Karon. Very cozy! Not a bad thing happens in
 ST> any book!!!!!
 ST>
I am re-sending this as I am surprised I have not received any replies
to it. I think Fidonet has some holes in it!!!
