And oddly, we had not ever seen it despite the title being so familiar. We were both on the edge of the couch. Actually, we were slumped, but you know what I mean! And, Mystic, he got really cranky at the end. He's a gentleman, but I wouldn't want to cross him...DeLynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855086449854653526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-44070832202783254392011-02-13T00:48:12.910-06:002011-02-13T00:48:12.910-06:00I've not read your first but your second is de...I've not read your first but your second is definitely gentle and softly paced! very unlike brash detectives which seem the norm.

Your posts always transport me but I don't which way to go on this one- Melbourne or Botswana? <br /><br />Did you know I've never read any adult mysteries? unless the plum series is considered a mystery cause I did read the first one of those. <br /><br />Anyway, I did read mysteries as a kid and I love mystery shows especially the brit ones so it is a mystery to me why I always pass over these type of books.<br /><br /> Everytime I read one of your wonderful mystery posts, I am puzzled anew but reminded that I need to expand my horizons-- I am going to keep an eye out for these two ladies in particular as I bargain book hunt.<br /><br />Never would have guessed it was pronounced 'fry-nee'!<br /><br />Yes, of course, you saved the books first!!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102907186589066829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-7646108003247870142011-02-12T21:56:29.653-06:002011-02-12T21:56:29.653-06:00I love the way you have contrasted these two lady ...I love the way you have contrasted these two lady detectives!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-84132415851474289402011-02-12T21:52:20.700-06:002011-02-12T21:52:20.700-06:00Kerry Greenwood, the author (forgot to mention tha...Kerry Greenwood, the author (forgot to mention that in the post!) wrote that she does six months' research for each book.

The first is not my favorite, but each one gets better and better.<br />The stories and the way people think are so real, even though it may be a different culture.<br /><br />Phryne looks intriguing. I will have to pick that series up! I love period mysteries!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655136952400905041noreply@blogger.com
