She's my kind of person, so down-to-earth, smart, not chic or glamorous or thin, but middle-aged and real. And that this is a very good book is music to this Griffiths' fan.<br /><br />But on Harry Nelson, I like him. But he does not take the place of Commissario Guido Brunetti, a thinking police officer, who does not resort to violence. He uses his mind and thinks through cases and also social issues of the day. He also has compassion for many people as well as a love of his city, Venice, that is great to take in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-28780253110465990962015-03-29T16:24:19.330+01:002015-03-29T16:24:19.330+01:00Fair enough....Fair enough....Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-65958066367207770942015-03-29T14:47:43.665+01:002015-03-29T14:47:43.665+01:00Glad you enjoyed, but I'm passing on this seri...Glad you enjoyed, but I'm passing on this series,col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-60714567927686337372015-03-27T23:57:47.174+00:002015-03-27T23:57:47.174+00:00Every one of her books is a winner in my view...Every one of her books is a winner in my view...Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-22821386886205041612015-03-27T23:57:30.725+00:002015-03-27T23:57:30.725+00:00It's a really good book, and everything is wel...It's a really good book, and everything is well worked out.

Your picture probably shows the crew of an R.A.F. Whitley aeroplane with their 'plane, which was twin-engined and much older and smaller than the American aircraft mentioned above.Roger Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11012987757094423896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-55279985083449197582015-03-27T18:52:05.802+00:002015-03-27T18:52:05.802+00:00I have the Janus Stone to read next.

I really do love the way that Griffith evokes both modern-day Norfolk and the historical era. And among many characters I've come to really like in this series, Cathbad is definitely one of the best. So glad you enjoyed this. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
