 One of her forthcoming ones fills in the time that Mary and Holmes spent in 
the middle east. Not sure if this is that one or not.

 I found it slow to start but picked up nicely. "With child" was my favorite 
of that particular series.
 Just finished "Masquerade" by Gayle Lynds. It's advertised as a 
female/Ludlum thriller. It begins very much as the Bourne Identity did, with 
the hero(ine) coming to with a case of amnesia, and with a lot of abilties 
that a spy would have. It had a tremendous amount of twists and turns and 
good and bad guys switching their roles. I almost needed a score card at 
times, but I really enjoyed it and read it in a few sittings (another one 
that had me up after midnight). We got it in at the library back in Feb. but 
I hadn't heard a thing about it. The 2 comments in the back were both good (I 
have those comment sheets for you and will send it out ASAP).
 Have just started "Innocent Graves" by Peter Robinson. Saw it listed on 
DotL. It's very British and kind of slow going so far. Will probably read it 
when taking Jody back to school.
