Finished MURDER BY THE BOOK

 


A complicated murder mystery with a number of characters, but they all did come together in the end.  My only criticism is the 20-something sexual angst that is a bit annoying.

I have now started Deathstalker Return, which appears to be the seventh book in the series, though I'm pretty sure I've only read three.  I don't have any others, so I'll have to figure out which ones I am missing the next time I go to Amazon.  I think all the characters are new to me, but at least they are being described.  The characters I know seem to be like 100 years in the past....

Finished A BREATH OF SNOW AND ASHES

 


I read this out of order, accidently reading book 7 first.  But I'm glad I came back.  I lot happened in this book that was not covered in the tv series and that which was covered by tv was much better explained by the book.  Isn't that just always the case?

I have now started Murder by the Book, which I am also reading out of order.  This is the first book of the series, but I read book 2 first.  Not a problem.  Enough information was given in the second to get one into the story, but this book does give more detail about the town and the characters.  The only problem is the 20-something angst that I often find annoying.  Also, I hope to learn later in the series why some characters are so mean.
