This has been such a fun day reading all the posts! Wasn't that chance to win an ARC a great idea? I hope Morrow does it again. The new Bess is scheduled for July so mark your calendars just in case. Deborah is to be congratulatedon starting a lively discussion this Sunday. And as many of you know, we're fans of Duncan & Gemma. When the three of us get together-- for oysters usually--the conversation is always lively!

Climbing up to the towers was exhausting work but walking around in that cathedral is still a thrilling experience, no matter how many times you go there. I could imagine going to a wedding there. Learning about the Fens of a hundred years ago was fascinating. All the fish and birds that used to live in the marshes, how people earned a living--even the size of the rats--and so on were just amazing to read about in old books.Caroline Toddhttp://www.charlestodd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-86446118133988191202014-01-19T15:01:01.776-05:002014-01-19T15:01:01.776-05:00What fun!

Perhaps the backstory of the accident will someday be dramatized on Downton Abbey. <br /><br />I, too, was fortunate enough to win an ARC of Hunting Shadows through Goodreads, and finished reading it just a few days ago. Rutledge is one of my very favorite characters, and this book was fantastic. It was also really interesting to learn more about the fens, and to feel the closeness of the mists and fogs. Very atmospheric, with such fascinating characters. <br /><br />Thank you, Charles and Caroline, as well as Debs, for many hours of enjoyment. <br /><br />Gail in SeguinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-68166458180806401582014-01-19T14:28:08.579-05:002014-01-19T14:28:08.579-05:00What fun!

As was pointed out, the guilt there must be laid at the foot of the evil twin Dan Stephens.<br /><br />BUT he must have been complicit in the death of Sybil as well as the atrocity which occurred last week. That may have been the last straw for me. <br /><br />Tonight I'll be waiting until time for the return of Sherlock before I switch to PBS tonight.<br /><br />Can't wait for the new Rutledge book!

I love Bess Crawford but hadn't been an Inspector Rutledge fan until now. So evocative -- just a marvelous book. <br /><br />As for DA, I can easily see Rutledge called in to help with a murder I would like to see committed in the new season...!
