I love the way the books take you into the lives of ordinary people. And like any good murder mystery they are fun to read.Ien in the Kootenayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766317652520657570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-50599618322457459382014-09-18T19:57:21.611-06:002014-09-18T19:57:21.611-06:00I WANT THIS.

I for one am always on the lookout for evidence that the end is nigh, or that the revolution has begun. Either way is fine.<br /><br />But it's also interesting that you'd notice that aspect of the novel. If you're not careful you're going wander out of book reviewing and find yourself over in literary criticism.
