"To love one person with a private love is poor and miserable: to love all is glorious."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"

Although this is billed as a mystery, the reason I loved this book was Thumps Dreadfulwater, his friends, and the town of Chinook. I felt like I was solving a mystery with the group of retired gents I see at the coffeehouse in the morning. Wonderful Canadian author and great example of the right book at the right time.

"It is a strange thing that men will be such enemies to themselves. Wisdom is the principal thing, yet all neglect her. Wherefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her and she shalt promote thee, she shall bring thee to honour when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thy head an ornament of grace, a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"

"I made no sacrifice in my own life to give them something of eternal value."
This is how you demonstrate true love to someone.

Finished this, again. I read it every year. One of my favorite devotionals.

A soft pick for book 6 of the Thumps Dreadful water series. Thumps is a suitably cranky misanthrope with a gigantic soft spot (a subplot finds him caring for a litter of kittens) but the mystery was kind of meh and the small town of Chinook might have surpassed the acceptable quota of quirky locals. Still I liked it enough to keep going, appreciated the subtle incorporation of racial politics, and I love kittens! 🤪 I might go back and try book 1.
