The only book I've read is Devices and Desires which I loved for its Norfolk setting as much as the intricate plot. I don't know why I've not read any more yet.Karen (Euro Crime)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03678348280806062648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-49792319927171432222008-11-17T15:55:00.000+00:002008-11-17T15:55:00.000+00:00Elaine posted a terrific review of The Private Pat...Elaine posted a terrific review of The Private Patient here:<BR/><BR/> http://randomjottings.typepad.com/random_jottings_of_an_ope/2008/09/the-private-pat.html<BR/><BR/>I'm going to buy it for my 85 year old father in law for Christmas. And I want to read it myself. <BR/><BR/>Is Devices and Desires the one with stigmata? If so, I agree that this is the best of all. It still haunts me.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-20051827886000028042008-11-17T09:16:00.000+00:002008-11-17T09:16:00.000+00:00Indefatigible is a good description for James, Ula...Indefatigible is a good description for James, Ulaca. I think it's astonishing to publish a best-seller at 88, let alone a book with as many intriguing ingredients as this one.

I used to read all of her books but found the one about 4 books ago so slow and tedious that I haven't read any since- though I do have the next one she wrote after that (The Murder Room I think it is called). When I was a teenager I enjoyed the early Dalgleish (and Cordelia Gray) books, and was sad that she dropped the character in favour of less interesting (to me) women.<BR/><BR/>I think I probably saw a few of the Roy Marsden TV programmes but can't remember much about them. I also saw a movie (or TV film?) based on the Cordelia book An Unsuitable Job for a Woman. I had not realised that Martin Shaw took over as Dalgleish. I guess I find most crime fiction on TV very clunky, not that I have watched any for ages, but I am looking forward to Kenneth Branagh's Wallander next Sunday 23 Nov (based on Henning Mankell books).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
