I like cream of mushroom soup, especially when it's cold out! Right now I'm reading Sanctuary by Nora Roberts. It's great, it's romantic, but it has a little bit of mystery too.

Alphabet soup from Campbell's please or a nice fish chowder would be nice. I've got three going right now: "This Good Earth, "Haunting of Hill House" and "Blow Fly" maybe I'll get them all finished by the end of the month.

Hi Lkanneg:


Which genre is that?

Actually it's a new genre to me too...historical mysteries! I started out reading Roberta Gellis's Magdalene la Batard mysteries, about a Middle Ages brothelkeeper who ends up having to solve some murders, and got hooked on the amazing detail of the books about the life of the times. I also read Barbara Hambly's Benjamin January books, about a free man of color (the phrase is part of the culture of the place/time) in New Orleans in the mid-1800s who again, falls into solving various murders.

"A Point of Honour" is a Victorian-era mystery featuring a woman named Sarah, who ran away from her wealthy home at eighteen with her brother's fencing master, lived in sin with him abroad for several years (and also became a notable fencer), then returned to England after he died. Sarah becomes a sort of shabby-genteel investigatress...it was good, though not as good as I'd hoped--there's a sequel out that I am going to try next!

It's a three way tie: tomato, barley-lentil, and cream corn soups. All good! And am currently re-reading Gabriel Cohen's 'Red Hook'. Wish that guy would hurry and write another! Also reading Jim Fusilli's new 'Hard, Hard City' and a book of mystery short stories titled 'Death Dines In' edited by Claudia Bishop and Dean James. These short stories are delightlful plus there's a real short interview with the author at the end of each as well as a recipe that is featured in the story they've written. There was also a book that came out in 1997 called 'Death Dines Out' which I'll have to look for.

Oh boy, I LOVE soup! It is so perfect for a chilly night, and I love so many different kinds, that I don't think I can pick a favorite.

I finally finished The Dark Tower by Stephen King. It was good, and I think the ending seemed fitting, but some of the developments along the way left me shaking my head. I've now started Beneath A Marble Sky by John Shors a fictionalized account of the building of the Taj Majal. So far it is wonderful!

Lkanneg,


Both of those historical mysteries sound interesting!
