Finished ANGRY TIDE

7067292

Skipping a book in the series didn't bother me much, maybe because I've been seeing the series on PBS.  This book pretty much caught me up with where PBS is.  Which is good.  The book I missed is in my wish list on Amazon.  I wait until I have at least 5 books in there before I order.  This book ends with a wonderful bit of advice from Damelza which was not covered on PBS..at least, not yet.  It was advice for all of us for always.  Loved it.

I have now started Bullet, another in Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series.  It begins with the customary humor, though not as funny as some.  This is a very normal life beginning which, we all know, is not typical of Anita Blake.

Finished FALL OF MAN IN WILMSLOW

31147618

We see a man's character and self-esteme gradually change in this book.  At times, the images and discussions were a bit technical, but not so I couldn't understand them.  The book was thought provoking and satisfying.

I have now started The Angry Tide, the seventh book in the Poldark series by Winston Graham.  This is a serious book crisis because I haven't read The Four Swans, the 6th in the series.  I thought it was in my epics pile, but could not find it anywhere.  TR said he might have left it at the Y.  Well, that would have been a long time ago and the Y has given away it's library...so it is gone.  I will order another one, and will continue on...but it is a true reader's crisis!  This book starts with Ross returning from parliament a little ahead of time...we haven't learned why yet.  So far we are being reintroduced to the characters and are being rubbed the wrong way by Vicar Osborne again.

Finished THE NIGHT IS FOREVER

17622927

This is, as with all of the books in this series, another one of these books that I enjoyed so much that I am sorry I have finished.  There are things that are alike in all of these books, but the things that are different are locations,  the character of murders and their motives, and, the character of the ghosts.  The ghosts never make the solution of the mystery easy, but they are helpful.  And it is very rare that I figure out who the murderer is ahead of the end.

I have now started Fall of Man in Wilmslow, a Novel of Alan Turing.  Lagercrantz (The Girl in the Spider's Web) has started at Alan Turing's death with the police inspector that is investigating his death.  It is shocking how much the fact that he was gay seems to rule the investigation, causing the officers to assume he was probably selling secrets to the Russians, etc., because of course someone capable of being gay must be doing all kinds of illegal things....  It was the mindset of the times...
