I know, I know . . .
But just popping my head in to say that if you followed my earlier suggestions to read John Farrow's wonderful Emile Cinq-Mars' mysteries, mostly set in Montreal, you might be as happy as I am to know that Cinq-Mars is now solving a mystery on vacation with his wife Sandra in Grand Manan (in the Canadian Maritimes). Beautifully written, cleverly plotted (the opening is diabolical, really), with rich characterisation and a lush evocation of place. . . I'm reading it in an e-copy on my Kobo, and I have only a few chapters left, resolution and denouement still to come. I hope I'll tell you more about it later, but given my recent record, I'm not promising anything!
But in case you're looking for a good mystery this weekend. . . .
