As usual, helpful ghosts are, well, helpful, but the crime is solved in the climax when life is in danger. I love the Missippi river boats, so I just enjoyed the ambiance of the story. More suspects than usual, several of whom were shocked that they were suspects. I enjoy these books.
Then I read another 50 pages in Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Back from Europe, Jonathan spends the first part of the section trying to cure the king of his insanity, then turns to learning to navigate between mirrors, much to the consternation of his wife.
I have now started Appetite For Life, the biography of Julia Child. I have not yet decided if I will finish it. The first part is deadly dull, reading like a term paper or a thesis. I'll give it a bit more of a chance, though.
