finishing things
Books and knitting…
finished reading the last Troy book, John Lawton’s series following Frederick Troy. Sad to not have any more to read, I do like his writing. The last book was A Little White Death, written in 1998. It’s set in the early 60’s in London mostly. Troy seems to have survived TB, only barely. The plot meanders about, but he pulls it all together in the end and the characters are interesting.
Finished Graham Hurley’s book about Joe Faraday’s latest case: Borrowed Light, 2011. Set in Portsmouth UK, always interesting because his characters are flawed and believable. The plot doesn’t really matter much, just a good mystery. He has a knack for ending his books as cliff hangers, good thing the next one is already in print.
Also finished Charlotte Gray, 1999 by Sebastion Faulks and started his newer book, A Week in Decemberr, 2010. I do like the way he writes. Good storyteller; always my favourite. I’m glad I started reading his books.
