Cleo (cleopatra18) | 510 comments I think I’ve found a library where I can get it. I just have to find my library card number there and order it. Phew! I was having a hard time finding a reasonable copy for this one. It would be a shame to miss it since I’ve read the other two.

That's great news.


Karin | 161 comments I have a copy, but have to finish a couple of other books first.

Cleo (cleopatra18) | 510 comments For some reason when I try to borrow the ebook, it says it can’t be done. It’s affecting every ebook I try so I’ll have to go into the library next week and see if they can figure it out. Sigh! 😔


Rosemarie | 196 comments I hope you get the problem resolved, Cleo.


Karin | 161 comments I also hope you get this fixed, Cleo!

Cleo (cleopatra18) | 510 comments Thanks, you two! I’d be bummed to have read the first two and not be able to read the third.


Karin | 161 comments I started this last night and am enjoying it. As much as I like Rufus, Jane is still my favourite, so I was delighted she had a sizable role in one of the stories I've read so far.


Rosemarie | 196 comments Jane is my favourite too, but I like them all.


Karin | 161 comments I'm going to give this four stars when I rate it as well, but am running late tonight. I think I have two books to review.
