In France they drive on the right as you do and we really took a while to get used to how to approach them and work out the priorities. <br /><br />Yvonne: Yes, definitely best to start at the beginning with the Martin Edwards series. Not so much a chequered past but her personal life, which seems settled, starts to change with book one and it's necessary really to be with it from the start.<br /><br />Thank you, I did, and I hope you enoyed yours too. :-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-36875644319644957492017-01-01T22:40:31.600+00:002017-01-01T22:40:31.600+00:00Hi Cath,

I just noticed that you have given that same piece of advice to a fellow blogger, so I am guessing that like so many other fictional detectives DCI Hannah Scarlett has something of a chequered past and personal baggage.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and I hope that you enjoyed your New Year celebrations :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-87800224453716141682017-01-01T16:28:23.670+00:002017-01-01T16:28:23.670+00:00So, funny about the yield and give way.

Some guy yelled at him, 'you're supposed to give way you tw..'

I too love tru...Judith: Happy New Year to you too!<br /><br />I too love true life adventures of the mountaineering kind (even though I've never done it) and I thought this was an interesting book. A true mountaineer might find there is not enough actual mountaineering... it just depends on their taste. <br /><br />If you want to try the Martin Edwards series, yes, I would definitely start at the beginning as there's quite a bit of ongoing background info that you should know.<br /><br />Nan: Isn't it funny how some words go out of use in one country but stay in use in another? We still use 'pinching' here as a matter of course. While in the US the first time we came to a junction while driving and saw a sign to 'yield' we were really tickled. Here our signs say 'Give way'... but I prefer 'yield'. <br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-7400010605242788852017-01-01T04:55:29.622+00:002017-01-01T04:55:29.622+00:00I haven't heard 'pinching' since my fa...I haven't heard 'pinching' since my father - who died in 1968.

I'm going to look it up and recommend it to a mountain-climbing traveler I know who loves true life adventures of this sort. I haven't read Martin Edwards's series yet, but your enthusiasm for them definitely makes me want to try one. Should I start with the first book in the series, do you think?<br />Happy New Year!<br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-36448453831092005232016-12-31T23:43:26.328+00:002016-12-31T23:43:26.328+00:00Pat, I was really pleased to see De Quincy mention...Pat, I was really pleased to see De Quincy mentioned in this book... gave me a little tingle. lol I love these little connections. The author even mentioned one of my favourite weird tales by Hugh Walpole which I didn't think anyone else had heard of. Enjoy the new David Morrell book! I think I read the first book of that series and thought it was excellent.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-49930648566265241882016-12-31T23:38:45.183+00:002016-12-31T23:38:45.183+00:00Wow you are ending the year with a bang!
