Friday Book Blogging

I certainly hope this week's reading is not an indication of how the year is going to go. I did get a lot accomplished around the house, but very little between the covers. Of the paltry three books I read, the top honors go to Jill Paton Walsh's The Attenbury Emeralds.
Walsh, with the permission of the Dorothy L. Sayers estate, has created a new Lord Peter Wimsey mystery. She does passably well at the story itself, but the narration and dialog leave more than a bit to be desired. I had previously read Thrones, Dominations and enjoyed it. This was not as well done. However, the other two that I read were worse, so, the re-invented Lord Peter gets the nod. If you are a rabid Wimsey fan, pass it by, but if you like the characters and time period, give it a try.
