A friend who has says it's very good. I also rather fancy A Christams Card Crime, another volume of short stories edited by Martin Edwards and Spirits of the Season edited by Tanya Kirk. These are all published by the British Library.

Oh, that's interesting that you also read A Small Death in Lisbon for the European challenge. The historical angle appeals to me too.<br /><br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-11080535621391246682018-09-30T06:25:08.445+01:002018-09-30T06:25:08.445+01:00I read A Small Death in Lisbon for Portugal for th...I read A Small Death in Lisbon for Portugal for the European Reading Challenge also. I liked what I learned about World War I and Portugal, and it was a good read although I had some issues with it. <br /><br />I have got to catch up on some reviews for that challenge.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-28600874588732219102018-09-27T10:13:11.535+01:002018-09-27T10:13:11.535+01:00Pat: LOL...

Mind you, he doesn't do jigsaw puzzles or book reviews online, or even Twitter or Facebook. All big consumers of time.<br /><br />Kay: Yes, murder all over Europe! LOL! Although I am reading other kinds of books for the challenge I do like the crime ones... I have Portugal and Switzerland all lined up now, both crime reads.<br /><br />Judith: I completely agree with you, if I was a quicker reader I'd go several times a week. And I just love looking at them piled up on the shelf. It's my 'comfort' thing. <br /><br />Margaret: Sadly (or maybe not) we don't get the mobile library here, I suppose because we're very close to a main library and the mobile needs to be out swanning round Exmoor or something. And what a job that would be! Wonderful.<br /><br />Will let you know in due course about Paxman's book. A Discovery of Witches is good so far, possibly a little slower than it needs to be. We shall see. <br /><br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-70662879538261903592018-09-27T07:21:38.809+01:002018-09-27T07:21:38.809+01:00I enjoy my visits to the library - I'm lucky, ...I enjoy my visits to the library - I'm lucky, I suppose that the mobile library still comes round once a fortnight and I can go to the one in town. So it's good to know I'm not the only one with piles of books out on loan. You've got a good haul there. I'm really interested in Paxman's book and A Discovery of Witches (which I have on Kindle).BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-87045242025160137432018-09-27T00:08:31.442+01:002018-09-27T00:08:31.442+01:00Cath,

Have fun!!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-74873377155695158652018-09-26T17:16:06.736+01:002018-09-26T17:16:06.736+01:00Very nice!
