-=>While in the White Hart, Steven Horn explained to Fred Runk that<=-
Some of my contemporary favorites are PD James, Anne Perry, William Bayers,
and Elizabeth George--Martha Grimes also, Ellis Peters, Davies? (Falco, the
Roman PI during the time of Augustus Caesar).
I just finished Perry's CAIN HIS BROTHER and found that the most
disappointing  of her Inspt. Monk series--guess Inspector is no longer
accurate.
Anyway, there are large holes in the logic, and I think she cheated.  I had
figured out the solution early on, but two "facts" made that solution
impossible.  As it turned out, on the last page or so, we are told one of
those facts didn't exist while the other one we had to assume was a lie by a
character.
There is no rationale for what happened, or why it happened--it just did.
Oh well, the earlier books were very satisfying, so I will shrug this one
off and go on.  As it is, I found her latest in WallyBooks, so I will go
around with W. Monk at least once more.
