Status Updates From Clouds of Witness and The U...

Clouds of Witness is an entertaining read, not surprisingly. Interesting that with the possible exception of Lady Mary and the definite exception of Lord Peter’s mother, the women tended to be described based on their looks and not too much else. Even Lady Mary was a bit silly, though she has a slightly bigger part. The conclusion required a truly incredible set of coincidences, but still in all it was good fun.

Finished 1st of 2 books in this volume

"... to Lord Peter the world presented itself as an entertaining labyrinth of side-issues... His passion for the unexplored led him to hunt up obscure pamphlets in the British Museum, to unravel the emotional history of income-tax collectors, and to find out where his own drains led to."

I didn’t like Strong Poison all that much, but I did like Whose Body so I’m going back to book 2 and reading the series in order in case there was something (character development?) that I missed.
