Hi, Fred!
FR> FR> Have you read any of the "Kate Martinelli" books?
FR>Same thing happened to me.  I had picked up a copy of A GRAVE TALENT, but
FR>before I got around to reading it, BEEKEEPER'S APPRENTICE came out, and I
FR>decided to read that first.  Now, I have managed to read AGT and was 
pleased

FR>I wonder if there is a second in the "Martinelli" series.  She might have
FR>put that series aside since the "Mary Russell" books did so well.
There are at least three out that I know of.  As is often the case, the
second (title escapes me) is *slightly* weaker (but still a worthwhile
read).  The third is "up to snuff", though!
I just finished Carol Nelson Douglas' _Cat In A Diamond Dazzle_ and _Cat
With An Emerald Eye_.  Enjoyed CiaDD but was disappointed with CWaEE.
It didn't feel like a whole story or even an interesting one.  Has
anyone else read these?  What did you think?
Best,
RussJ
