Leaven of Malice (The Salterton Trilogy, #2) by Robertson Davies This is the second book in Robertson Davies' first trilogy. I've downloaded it as an audiobook but my iPod got soaked so I can't listen to it! Hopefully it will recover in the next couple of days because I'm looking forward to visiting Salterton again.

I'm now about 3/4 through and I'm loving it so far. It's very funny and I'm very curious to find out who put in the false notice and why.

Okay, another brilliant offering by Robertson Davies. I enjoyed the humour in this one especially. Davies shows us his characters in all their flawed humanity but loves them anyway. It's hard not to look for precursors of his later masterpieces and they're there to find for sure. From what I understand, the third book of the trilogy departs for Europe, but I'd have loved another trilogy visiting with our friends in Salterton.
