I'm sorry to say I didn't think it was one of his better ones, despite the fact that he brought back characters from previous books. Of course, he can't write a bad book, and I pretty much did nothing but read the book, so take my criticism with a grain of salt. There's just something addictive about Gabriel Allon. Even so, the ending was rushed and predictable, and there wasn't as much action as I'm used to in the series.Libby Hellmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14357982182362948869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-9366789991729876582011-10-02T15:01:02.696-04:002011-10-02T15:01:02.696-04:00Those English muffins look delicious. The ones we...Those English muffins look delicious. The ones we get here are much flatter.<br /><br />I'm reading Cell 8 by Roslund & Helstrom. It's the fourth book in their police procedural series, there's no violence and no sexual or graphic language. It seems to be more about personal morals and willing to put yourself at risk for somebody else because your belief in justice is so powerful.<br /><br />What I like most about the book is the depth of the characters and Grens, the protag, plays a bigger part in this story than he did in the last book. <br /><br />SusieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-80798420660359911482011-10-02T07:39:34.249-04:002011-10-02T07:39:34.249-04:00Hi Gail, I'm a Mainer and I can tell you it...Hi Gail, I'm a Mainer and I can tell you it's definitely both!<br /><br />Maine has loads of low-bush blueberries, which are much smaller than the ones you usually see in stores. They have a wonderful, intense flavor. July is the time for the blueberry harvest. I go to blueberry farms and get huge quantities of blueberries and make jam. My husband's favorite is the strawberry jam we make in June, but blueberry has the edge for me.Sister Mary Murderoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13721665989818474295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-52091687016680535672011-10-01T22:10:30.637-04:002011-10-01T22:10:30.637-04:00Your english muffins should delicious, especially ...Your english muffins should delicious, especially the wild Maine blueberry! I'm curious about the placement of the adjective: is Maine wild or are the blueberries? Probably, both!<br /><br />I haven't read any novels by Peter Dexter or Jim Harrison but I am sure to check them out now. Thanks for the suggestions.Gail Baugniethttp://gail-baugniet.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-81404429948006827352011-10-01T18:01:00.346-04:002011-10-01T18:01:00.346-04:00Mmmm, those muffins look very good.
