Finished DEATH AT VICTORIA DOCK

Certainly the most dangerous of the Phryne Fisher novels I've read to date, what with a machine gun and a kidnapping.  In addition to that, a missing person case is solved.  Quite a bit for such a short book.

I have just started Ever After, #11 in Kim Harrison's Hollows series.  Someone is stealing sick babies from the Rosewood unit of the hospital.  This is the disease that Rachel would have died of if not cured as a baby.  However, the cure is illegal because cured children become demons.  Is someone trying to experiment with finding a better cure, or, more likely, wanting to give selected people demon powers???

Finished DANSE MACABRE by Laurell K. Hamilton

This series did not start erotic at all---but, it seems, that was a loooooong time ago.  One would think I'd be way too old to be engrossed by this.  But, within an erotic supernatural world, it is amazing how much can be said about interpersonal relationships, racism, sexism, homophobia, communication and miscommunication, power and lack of it as experienced in our "real" world.  I remain fascinated.

I have now started Death at Victoria Dock (Phryne Fisher #4) by Kerry Greenwood.  Driving innocently home (well, as innocently as Phryne does anything), Phryne's car windshield is shot apart (disintegrated) by a bullet.  She stops and quickly discovers a young man dying not far from her car, also shot.  The next morning a rich businessman stops by to ask Phryne to find his daughter.  Now she has two mysteries to solve.

Finished THE MODIGLIANI SCANDAL

Not a high energy spy or thriller novel or a sweeping historical epic like Follett's usual fare, but this was a very fun series of cons.  I loved it.

I have now started Danse Macabre by Laurell K. Hamilton, Anita Blake, # 14.  OMG!  Anita thinks she might be pregnant!  I would not have thought this could be possible, since all of her partners have been magical species different from hers...  As a reanimator and a vampire hunter, how will a child fit into her life?
