Hi All, I finally broke down and ordered "Crewel Yule" and the latest Monica Ferris in hardback. I was supposed to be ordering a book on tape for my father for father's day but the one I was after is only on CD : ( There are times I just shouldn't go to Barnes & Noble on line <G>. Anyway, I did find out something I think is wonderful - Monica Ferris has written other books under other names! Here's her website:
http://monica-ferris.com/index.html Writing as Mary Monica Pulver she's written some with another detective and at least one appears to be at a Society for Creative Anachronism event. She also wrote some Medieval mysteries with another woman under the name of Monica Frazer. I will be checking my library for those! I also don't like the formulaic ones that there are so many of now. The cooking ones seem to have very clever titles but the writing doesn't thrill me. Right now I'm reading a book by Archer Mayor who sets his mysteries in Brattleboro, Vermont where I live! They're very good though more hard-boiled than I ususally read. Jane in Vermont, USA where the flowers I planted are doing beautifully!
