 Okay.  The cat, Robert Johnson, was probably the best element of the
 book.
 ST> SB> Probably should give this one a miss, too, if that's the case - same
 ST> SB> idiosyncratic characters.
 ST> Yes, that was my problem with the first, didn't like the characters. 
Seems to
 ST> be a love it or hate it series of books.
 The Mallory character is interesting to me, but not very sympathetic.
 ST>  SB> Read "Snow Falling ..."  It was a nice change of pace but 
verhyped,

 ST> I am enjoying it so far (only on page 60 or so). It's a quicker read

 You sound wistful about that ....
 ST>  SB> Just started Minette Walters'first, "The Ice House. There's a
 ST>  SB> two-parter currently underway on PBS' "Mystery!" based on her book
 ST>  SB> "The Sculptress."
 ST>  Yes, I am taping it as I have not yet read "The Sculptress" and like to 
read
 ST> the book first (so I can complain that the movie wasn't as good)
 ST>  I read "The Dark Room" and enjoyed it.
 This is the first of hers that I've read and I will likely miss the
 second part of the two-parter.  Bummer.  Maybe I'll end up reading
 it, too!
