Fiction
In reply to the discussion: What Fiction are you reading this week, November 18, 2018? [View all]The King of Prussia
(737 posts)35. My murder tour of England continues...
Just finished the "Bowness Bequest" by Rebecca Tope. The sixth in a series of cosy mysteries set in the Lake District. Not earth-shatteringly good - but a (largely) amiable cast, decent plot and a beautiful setting - so real comfort reading as the nights draw in.
And I've stayed in the Lake District for "The Grave Tattoo" by the brilliant Val McDermid. Not a quarter of the way into it yet, but it's shaping up really well. A very old body has turned up in a lake - and it might be the famous (infamous?) Fletcher Christian.
On the non-fiction front I'm still on "The Making of the President 1964".
Happy reading to hermetic and everyone else!

What a nice idea! I read a lot of "chapter" books aloud to my kids as they were growing.

No fiction this week. On Thanksgiving week I always revisit Nathaniel Philbrick's "Mayflower."
