Set sail for murder

Monday, June 18, 2012

It has been so long since I have posted anything. I was beginning to think I couldn't read anymore, but I think it is stress related. The Classics Book Discusson group at the Tipp City Library will not be meeting anymore. There doesn't seem to be an interest, or the timing isn't good. I read Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, then Passage to India by E.M Forster. Both books were difficult to get through, but were worth the effort. Just last night I was recommending to my daughter that if she is looking for a good book to read, check out books that were made into movies. The books are  better, and usually hold up to time. Just to get back into the swing of finishing a book in a few days I checked out one of my favorite author, Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, and she didn't let me down. Body Line was an intriquing mystery, with the good characterization and suspense that I look forward to. Just finishing that book made me breathe a sign of relief. I can still read. Even if some evenings I am just too tired and all I want to do is sleep. Happy summer reading. Check out Dead Days of Summer by Carolyn Hart. It's a fast read, with glimpses of summer on the eastern coastline of the States. It is a Death on Demand mystery, with Bookstore owner, Annie Darling doing most of the sleuthing with help from her friends, This time her husband, Max is being framed for a murder and she will stop at nothing to get him off. Risking her own life, she investigates a young female's murder, knowing that her Max is innocent. An easy read.
