I find this series gets so amazingly better with each new edition, that I am flabbergasted by Ms. Penny's ability to keep up with her creation. So, I remain horribly impatient for the next book!Jo Anna Perrinhttp://www.abbreviatedaudio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-82905651740585436012010-09-29T12:23:05.005-05:002010-09-29T12:23:05.005-05:00You're welcome!

Sometimes when I write my own little blog comments (which are mostly for myself, to help me crystallize what I am thinking) I feel that I hardly talk about the plot at all. But I do worry about giving away too much and spoiling other people's reading.<br /><br />I read a few reviews of Bury Your Dead which might have done that, except that Louise Penny writes such interesting stories, that little could spoil my enjoyment, I suspect.Joe Baronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275991273751678636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-328245582129832932010-09-27T23:07:31.291-05:002010-09-27T23:07:31.291-05:00Tina,

But, I HAVE to read Louise's right away, although, I always wait to read it until just about release date so I can share it here.
