It's pretty good, IMHO. HF>Both the Mullers I've read have been good. Finished it. Liked it a lot. One of these days I'm going to gather my Mullers & read them in order. I like to see a character change & grow. HF>HF>Started a vintage Emma Lathen last night, from 1966! HF>SS> Haven't read her yet. Is she a cozy? Doesn't really matter >SS> but I'd like to know more about her work. HF>Sort of cozy, yes. There are good, well-rounded characters in all I've >read, and usually a little humor. They are generally centered around >John Putnam Thatcher, the vice president of Sloan Guaranty Trust in NY. HF>The one I'm reading now, Death Shall Overcome, is set around the >application of the first black man to a seat on the stock exchange. For >all that, there is never enough banking/financial/economic crap to annoy >anyone. Most often the setting moves elsewhere than NY, and revolves >around clients of the bank's trust department in one field or another. HF>The one about the family with the oriental rug business was fascinating. >The one about the hockey team bored me a bit, since I had no interest in >hockey. The one about the dog show in CT was a fast-paced romp. Sounds good. I'll put her on my list & may get to her eventually. Best regards, Sharon * QMPro 1.53 * I'm clinging to sanity by a thread.

FR> The title would turn me off, frankly. Not something I would want to FR> read while eating bacon and eggs or sausage and eggs. The serial killer is dubbed the HOG because of how he signs his notes. Has nothing whatever to do with bacon. ;) Has an interesting twist. And it didn't dwell too long on the gore.
