Books in October
- Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs [read by Barbara Rosenblat
]
I certainly enjoy these books though some more than others - sometimes
they focus a bit too much on Tempe as a champion for some campaigning
issue or historical injustice.
However, this book hit lots of my own personal buttons and I absolutely
loved it. Broadly it covered archaeological evidence found in the Middle
East at the time of Christ, (matters not how much was fiction as no
assertions were made) and it was a pretty good thriller to boot.
And before you ask, no, I am not a closet fan of Dan Brown.
- The Seventh Trumpet by Peter Tremayne [read by Caroline
Lennon]
I was glad to stumble over another Sister Fidelma story - I have read
only one other and that was simply years ago.
I am sufficiently ignorant that I didn't really take on board that they
were set in Ireland - I thought "Celtic Britain" - and it
may be that I read the first one which is not in Ireland - I cannot
remember.
This one is AD 670 - a murder of course - and a good mystery. But more than that
I loved the reader. I am not always fond of heavy regional accents in narrators
- even lilting Irish ones - but this was lovely and only added to my
enjoyment of the text.
