There is no way to get out, no way to reach the authorities. They are all trapped there with a killer, and it is up to the sleuth to figure out who it is.

I don’t think that I have read anything by Benjamin Black before. Today I started on Holy Orders, book 6 in the Quirke series. A quirky (if I may say so) pathologist taking on the role of detective to find the culprit who murdered a friend of his daughter. The Quirke series has apparently been adapted for television, though I have never seen any of the episodes.

Why Markdown?
Markdown files are plain text, with a few added characters or symbols used to format it for conversation to HTML or other formats. Being plain text files, they are very small and not likely to become corrupted. Writing one scene or one chapter per file also keeps them very small. Since they are written in plain text, they can be edited with any text processor or word processor.

Verses for the Dead is book #18 in the Pendergast series by Preston & Child. If you have read any of the rest of the series, you know that Agent Pendergast (FBI) prefers to work on his own, but in this case he is paired up with a junior agent to “assist” him (ie. spy on him and report any rogue behaviour to their boss.) A serial killer is on the loose, and Pendergast is the only one who seems to have any idea how to pursue the investigation.

There is so much to give thanks for, even in tough times. We had a week of challenges last week, but have been blessed in so many things. Showing gratitude for the good things and blessings in our life is important, so it is nice to have a day set apart to do so. (Even if you are not in the USA, you are probably aware of US Thanksgiving this week.)

Erin thought she’d seen and heard it all. In Bald Eagle Falls, everyone seemed not only to know everyone else’s business, but to discuss it at length. Yet she had always assumed that her neighbor Mrs. Peach, who had no man in her life, was widowed.
This week I picked up Louise Penny’s newest Chief Inspector Gamache book, The Madness of Crowds. I posted about the previous book in this series, which is All the Devils Are Here. I have enjoyed all of the Inspector Gamache books that I have read, and this one is no difference.
