Big Sky
Jackson Brodie #5. Engaging story, full of the usual twists and turns. Honestly, I get to the end and I STILL don't know what is what. Silver BMW, some girl named Darcy, and the title - what does the title mean?

Case Histories
Jackson Brodie #1. I like this book very much. There is a lot of sly humor, and some very sad parts. A good mixture. Let me just say I have never thought much of the idea of retiring in another country, though. Everyone in books seems to want to go live in France, or Costa Rica, or Alaska, for cryin' out loud. I am not one of them. Maybe it's the airplane thing, I don't know.
I like how the story may be continued a bit in another book, I'll have to get them and see.

He lit a new cigarette from the stub of the old one because he had run out of matches, and faced with a choice between chain-smoking or abstinence, he'd taken the former option because it felt like there was enough abstinence in his life already. -- pg. 45Quote:
(He always carried tissues, half the people he met seemed to end up in tears). -- pg. 153Read:

Death At The Sign Of The Rook
Jackson Brodie, #6. A small painting disappears at one house, and a painting is stolen at a stately house. Did I get that right? There is a tremendous amount of words to read, sometimes I get confused! Also, I read the print edition.

One Good Turn
Jackson Brodie #2. Great book, surprise ending. It took me until page 317 until I realized who Julia was. And I just read the previous book in April!

You had to hand it to the Welrod. When they said "silenced", they meant silenced. -- pg. 370Read:

Started Early, Took My Dog
Jackson Brodie, #4. Yet another confusing story. I THINK I got it figgured out at the end, but maybe not. The accusation at the funeral, wasn't that wrong?
I swear I've read this book before, but it's not on the list here. Huh.
Quote:
"Catullus," he said. -- It's just a name, isn't it? Quote:
Jackson felt a possessive pang. In his mind Jane was a one-man woman. -- I keep forgetting who Jane is!! Quote:
His head hurt but no more than you would expect if you had been kicked and punched in it, that is to say, a lot.Quote:
a Stanley knife -- See, I'm not the only one who says that!!! Read:

Transcription
Juliet gets a job in a spy organization in WWII London. I love the writing, the story was OK, but I didn't care for the ending. I should probably read the ending over again to see it grows on me.

When Will There Be Good News?
Jackson Brodie #3. I finished this morning, now I've nothing to read. Lots of twists and turns. I read the large print edition. It is SO MUCH easier than the paperbacks. I was worth driving to the library three cities away to borrow it. Thank goodness for the county library system!
I was reading page 198 when I said out loud, "Who the hell is Tessa?" Well, now we know.
Quote:
Louise was sure that buried deep inside her, lurking in the murky labyrinth of her heart, there was an incredibly well-behaved person wondering when she would ever be let out. Patrick probably wondered the same thing. -- pg. 321Read:
