There have been a few that I meant to write down but did not and will go back and look again.<br /><br />Am now reading Donna Leon's latest, "A Question of Belief," sitting in the living room in the sun, listening to Billy Holiday. Couldn't be better; it could be, with a "terrazzini," an Italian sandwich, which is constantly referred to in this book. <br /><br />Her books don't contain sexual scenes, very little violence, mostly discussion, character development, an interesting plot, introspection, etc. <br /><br />They're exactly what I like; may have to re-read some. But I think I'll find a lot of new books to read over the summer.<br /><br />Although I have to keep away from "suspense," or anything with a psychopath or his/her thinking...or I won't go and through the garbage out at night for a week and will keep all the lights on.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-15466458634821507252010-05-08T20:26:15.782-05:002010-05-08T20:26:15.782-05:00Kathy, I think many of the books I review are sort...Kathy, I think many of the books I review are sort of between.

I have not been reading "traditional" mysteries yet I'm not a "hard-boiled" fan, so I read books inbetween these gentres.<br /><br />Yet I like this blog so much and many recommended books are up my alley.<br /><br />This one sounds enticing, especially the locked-room aspect. Recently read Sjowall/Wahloo's "The Locked Room," which had such a complicated plot and solution, but creative.<br /><br />I think I'm assured that if I don't write down titles that they will be here later on.<br /><br />Thanks.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-78199152575664166792010-05-08T15:52:02.532-05:002010-05-08T15:52:02.532-05:00I had never heard of this series, but what a great...I had never heard of this series, but what a great premise!
