Terrific book.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I am an avid mystery readers, and I'd say 60-70% of my reading is mysteries.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-46939782616780511232009-02-02T10:21:00.000-06:002009-02-02T10:21:00.000-06:00Eleven books in a month is good, as you say it wo...Eleven books in a month is good, as you say it works out to be a good steady rate and a lot accomplished in a year. I want to read The Suicide Collectors myself.<BR/>And I have a copy of The Necklace to look forward to. You look like an avid mystery reader, I used to read a lot of them. I did a January reading review in my Sunday Salon too.

It's a taut, rollercoaster of a ride from New York to Palm Beach to Washington D.C. to Hong Kong. The plot is expertly woven, the characters persuasive, and the dialogue snappy and spot on.<BR/>www.StrategicBookPublishing.com/TheHongKongConnection.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-78413363386573128362009-02-02T09:22:00.000-06:002009-02-02T09:22:00.000-06:00Oh, Yvonne!

I don't remember last January, because I didn't blog then. <BR/>All of my books are 400 or nearly 400 pages so they aren't quickie reads. <BR/><BR/>Have a great week!
