The WWI background with psychological themes might be enough to lure in a hardened crime fic avoider.

I've read about 5 books in the series, and I have to admit that it's been a while since I've gone back. Why? I've gotten tired of Hamish. I think that was one reason why I was excited about the new series with Bess Crawford.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-34168476624268498032009-09-09T06:51:21.423+09:302009-09-09T06:51:21.423+09:30Thanks for the name of the author Liz - new to me-...Thanks for the name of the author Liz - new to me- I'll add it to my listKerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-8774328315542944552009-09-09T00:09:58.466+09:302009-09-09T00:09:58.466+09:30I've not heard of this series, though I've...I've not heard of this series, though I've read a few books in another series also set post WWI -- Jacqueline Winspear, is the author's name, I think. The heroine is Maisie Dobbs. <br /><br />And I frequnetly prefer listening to a series than reading them! I listened to almost all the "Cat Who" books, loved listening to the Amelia Peabody novels and prefer listening to the Vince Flynn and JA Jance mysteries that way, too. It's a different experience!<br /><br />Next up for me is more of a <a href="http://www.heathdanielsbooks.com/" rel="nofollow"> thriller of international intrigue</a> than a crime novel -- not sure if you like those as well. It's "Three Kisses, by Heath Daniels. It looks like it will be a quick-paced read, which is just how I like my thrillers!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-66414143775272803812009-09-08T21:22:18.878+09:302009-09-08T21:22:18.878+09:30I think I enjoyed listening marginally more - does...I think I enjoyed listening marginally more - does that make sense?Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-37753688235069408662009-09-08T20:58:56.882+09:302009-09-08T20:58:56.882+09:30Sounds good Kerrie, I would like to read this as I...Sounds good Kerrie, I would like to read this as I enjoyed Search the Dark.
