pickMy reading while my son had a surgical procedure today. Very clever plot. The first in the popular French series. I enjoyed it but translation was a bit clumsy in spots- maybe that is intentional. I would read another in this series!
I used to read a lot of Fred Vargas' books and for a time forgot I liked her style. Adamsberg is a strange kind of policeman that you can not forget... I'm glad the library had it in epub format.
pickThree old men die in quick succession, apparently bitten by poisonous spiders. But the bites are rarely if ever fatal so is there something more sinister going on?
I found some of the psychological musings most unlikely (arachnophobia has its origin in childhood sexual abuse, seriously?) but despite that I did manage to finger the culprit fairly early on.
I went to my usual flea market today!
I sold a lot of books that I didn't like and buy new books!
With #Lasher I finally have all the books of #LivesoftheMayfairWitches!! I'm so happy! It took me a while!!
