LOL<br /><br />Kelly: Possibly brought on more by the number of crime book challenges that going around at the moment. I know that's my reason...<br /><br />Margaret: Blogging did exactly the same to me re: crime books.<br /><br />I'm glad it not just me with pinning down who people are. But this book was particularly so at the start where the author introduces her characters in a letter and doesn't quite say who they all are. It didn't spoil my enjoyment but I wish it had been clearer.<br /><br />Peggy: Sorry your library doesn't have these. I've been lucky and grabbed the next two from mine.<br /><br />Pat: Yes, really reading them all. I assume at some stage I'll slow down. The TV is really dull at the moment so I have more time to read.<br /><br />Melwyk: They are huge fun.

Blogging changed all that.<br /><br />I think you're so right about the Maigret books. Simenon captures that sense of place so cleverly and the characterisation of Maigret is perfect.<br /><br />I doubt your confusion over who all the people in the house were in 'A Moment of Silence' was just you. I haven't read this book, so I'm generalising here - I often find the introduction of several characters confusing at the beginning of a book and have to backtrack to find out who is who. I think it's because characters are often dropped in casually and developed later on - and I can't tell who are going to be the minor/major ones at the beginning, especially if the book is a page-turner and I want to get on with the story.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-21333954328762946512014-02-28T23:46:02.922+00:002014-02-28T23:46:02.922+00:00I find that crime books are popping up everywhere ...I find that crime books are popping up everywhere lately.
