I read Cornelia Read's "Invisible Boy," which I liked.<br /><br />I'm going to read stand-alone Mankells; Wallender is too despondent for me. Am waiting for my library to get "Hypothermia," and plan on starting to read Nesbo's series, Denise Mina's new book, Peter Temple's "Truth," Adrian Hyland's new book. And am waiting for my favorite commissario--Brunetti--to show up at the library in Donna Leon's newest book "A Question of Belief."<br /><br />I need relaxing right now, am wiped out.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-69801235800060187552010-04-11T21:47:42.351+09:302010-04-11T21:47:42.351+09:30Thanks for linking to Maxine's review Margot. ...Thanks for linking to Maxine's review Margot.
