I have to say that Dorothy's journals have stayed with me. We were watching a programme we'd recorded last night, 100 Favourite Walks. The Lake District featured a lot and her journals made that area come more alive somehow as I was watching.

I don't know the Lake District at all and I'm not one for wall-to-wall nature descriptions but I do like to walk! I'll check it out.Vintage Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971819409379613967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-83658863413112454192018-02-26T11:25:43.254+00:002018-02-26T11:25:43.254+00:00Hi Yvonne.

I understand why the premise did not appeal... it's an odd one for a series that's basically of the murder mystery genre but I gather some of the books have this mild supernatural element to them. It certainly isn't the main focus of the ones I've read, just there in the background as a sort of little tease. <br /><br />How wonderful that you've been to Switzerland. One of my 'see before I die' wishes is to see The Alps. I don't mind where... France, Italy, Switzerland... I'm not bothered. I've read such a lot about them it would be nice to actually see them in real life. <br /><br />Have a nice week... I wonder if we'll get any snow here in the south west?Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-66611998504963892042018-02-22T22:35:53.760+00:002018-02-22T22:35:53.760+00:00Another new to me series and author also.
At firs...Another new to me series and author also.<br /><br />At first glance, I must confess that the premise didn't particularly appeal and it was only your lovely review which kept me reading.<br /><br />However, I did scoot across to Goodreads and the author profile for Fred Vargas was so interesting, that I ended up by reading several of the readers' comments about the book.<br /><br />I'm not sure that I am completely sold on the story line, but on the other hand, it hasn't been dismissed either. We have only ever sampled the lakes and mountains of Switzerland, which were spectacularly beautiful in early summer, although too price prohibitive to return to now!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-2947435693462264292018-02-20T23:13:37.184+00:002018-02-20T23:13:37.184+00:00Pat: Three great crime reads in a row...

I think because back then (2010) they were difficult to get hold of at the library. Then Margaret started reading them and I checked the library to see what they had... book 9... I read it and am now hooked. My local library apparently has the next book so I shall be grabbing it asap. Interesting that you say the title refers to the Devil roaming the earth, I didn't know that. It's kind of appropriate.

Plus the name of the book caught my attention - seeking whom he may devour - that would be the Devil roaming the earth. I think I need to see if my library has this series.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.com
