I just finished reading Patricia Cornwell's new book, Hornets Nest. I have been a fan of hers for a long time, however, IMO, this is one of the worst books I have read in a long, long time...and I've forced my way through some stinkers!

I just finished two books. One was 'The Jewel That Was Ours', an Inspector Morse by Colin Dexter. When I read the intro, I discovered that it had been written using the plot used for one of the TV series episodes. I have read other books written 'from the screenplay' before, and had been usually disapointed. Not this time. This was more than just a re-stated re-formatted script. It had more observations, mental self-conversations, etc. than any such re-creation I ever had read before. Will have to try another of his... The other was Tony Hillerman's 'The Fallen Man'. Good book. Good characters. Nice insight. And it finishes by distinguishing the difference between 'law' and 'justice' as it applies in this case. Not mere black and white, good vs evil, and the hero is pure standard fare. Much better than his 'Finding Moon'. I can't say the complexity of the story is up to his earlier efforts, but it has good characters, is unpredictable, some nice red herrings, and good characters. Not bad. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/Wildcat5! v2.0 * Origin: Mr Zip "Home of Aunt Gabby Echo" (1:123/17) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 244 MYSTERY Ref: E3B00000 Date: 03/05/97 From: BLANCA ALVAREZ Time: 12:02am \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: Ne book!!! Hey All! I finally bought a book about mystery. It's called the Aura, by Carlos Funetes, (Mexican). People say it's preety good, so I gave it a try, and I'm reading it now. So, I'll tell you later how it really is. :) It's 62 pages long, (It _must_ be good) :D > write back! Blanca. ...

Good Two authors I have heard so many good things about, neither of which I have read. I wish I could read 12 hours a day. I am in the middle of Troy Soos' new one "Hunting a Detroit Tiger". If you like historical mysteries, you'll like Troy's books. This one is set in Detroit in 1920 when there were union wars going on. A union organizer is killed and the newspapers report that the main character, Mickey Rawlings, a utility infielder for the Tigers killed him in self-defense. Mickey sets out to prove himself innocent. Lots of historical facts. One I likes was that in 1920 the league was trying to phase out spitballs so only 2 pitchers on each team were allowed to use it. ... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway. --- Blue Wave/DOS v2.21 * Origin: The Chessplayer's Forum (1:2410/278) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 244 MYSTERY Ref: E3C00000 Date: 03/01/97 From: DENNIS LUCEY Time: 04:34pm \/To: SUZZE TIERNAN (Read 3 times) Subj: Night Sins Hi Suzze...I watched most of it so far on tape - still gotta see the last hour - but so far its been pretty good...what did you think? --- * Origin: Computer Castle / 20 Lines / Newton, NH / 603-382-0338 (1:324/127) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 244 MYSTERY Ref: E3F00000 Date: 03/08/97 From: SUZZE TIERNAN Time: 02:21pm \/To: DENNIS LUCEY (Read 4 times) Subj: Night Sins -=> Quoting Dennis Lucey to Suzze Tiernan <=- DL> Hi Suzze...I watched most of it so far on tape - still gotta see the DL> last hour - but so far its been pretty good...what did you think? I was disappointed becuase they changed the book so much. If they are planning on making "Guilty as Sin" (which I heard they were), they are going to have to do some major changes because of how they finished "Night Sins". They changed the story too much to continue it the way the book did. But I have talked to a bunch of people that didn't read the book and they thought it was pretty good, although no one really understood the ending. ... Moderator not found. Enter forbidden topics?
