I thought it was less good than the foregoing novels, but see what you think. My recollection is that the mystery isn’t as good.

I am a little ashamed of myself for drumming my fingers through the first chapter. I am up to Gaudy Night now, and the ending made me happy all over; I wish there were more Peter ‘n Harriet mysteries, but that’s the last one, isn’t it?

I’ve always sort of assumed I wouldn’t want to be bothered with them, without Harriet in the picture, but I’m kind of curious whether that will really be the case.

Sharry – Aw, that sounds great! I’m a sucker for time-travel books, so I’m adding this one to my list!

It’s about a girl and her brother who find an old watch that takes them 200 years into the past, during the American civil war and it comes with little black and white sketches of the action. Every time I read it, I feel hungry for fresh bread and cheese, clams and juicy apples. I can’t bear to give the novel away, it’s just stirs up memories of lying on my stomach on the couch on a warm Saturday afternoon, just reading. Those times don’t happen very often anymore!
