Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I have been reading, it’s just been going very slowly. Gardens of the Moon is indeed dense. Every chapter introduces a new cast of characters in a new town. There’s a lot of intrigue involved, so there’s new power structures to figure out, too.
Right now, I’m at 33%, but I have been doing a lot of back-tracking and re-reading. This is definitely going to take longer than I first expected.
Today, I started reading J.J. Luna’s How to Be Invisible.
I’ve only covered the first few chapters, which focus on hiding your real address with a P.O. Box and a “ghost” address. Waiting to finish the book before I make any final judgments, but so far, this seems like a case of “good in theory,” but I haven’t read anything I actually want to take action on yet.
While I was working on the problems with my Kindle yesterday, I was intrigued by the Kindle ad for a contest to attend the movie première of Janet Evanovich’s One for the Money in New York, so I picked up the book.
It was a pretty short read and I pounded through it in just under a day — a fun read, and the newbie-female perspective was fresh. I can see Plum being taken in a lot of different directions, which is obviously true since there’s something like seventeen books in the series now, despite the fact that the first one was published in 2005. I have to admit, Katherine Heigl seems like a good fit for Stephanie Plum — she’s got the flustered female thing down pat.
Anyway, this made me want to read some more hard-hitting mystery. Should I re-read Sherlock Holmes? (By the way, have you been following the second season of Sherlock? So good!)
On second thought, I should try something new. What’s the best mystery novel you’ve read?
