First 50 or so pages were slow going, but once Quoyle moved to Newfoundland it seemed like an entirely different book, one I really enjoyed. If the weather in Newfoundland is indeed as described by Proulx, all I can say is I’m glad I don’t live there. The only time I was in Newfoundland was July 8 - July 9, 1995. Weather was lovely, but we couldn’t leave the St John’s airport, so know nothing of the country.

Don’t know about others, but of the 78 named characters in this book, Marcellus and Tova are my favorites. I think the word I need to use to describe this book is cute.

Parts were too dark for me. It seemed as if Baldacci needed to throw in as many punches as possible. And of course some unbelievable shooting situations. However, at the end of the day it was a good thriller.

Predictable.

If the rest of this book is anything as good as the first 22 pages, I'm in for a treat. I cannot wait to find time to keep reading this one.

Selection for January 8 Mystery Book Club. I've read several of her books and am familiar w/ two of the US characters, Dillon Savich and Sherlock, but Drummond is her newest character and referred to as a Brit in the FBI. Looking forward to finishing and discussing this one.

The first Rhys Bowen mystery I've read. So far, so good.

November Mystery Book Club selection. So far some factual errors (names of locations), but other than those a bit of a far-fetched yet good read.
