I just read this first of Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley mysteries in order to compare it to the BBC television version, which was shown in the US on PBS's "Mystery." It is more complex than the movie, even though the movie was allotted 2 90-min. episodes instead of one. Also, it is a more harrowing experience than the movie, which considerably softened the story for tv. George's writing is top-notch. I found the scenarios hard to digest, emotionally, even though I thought I knew what was coming, more or less. Despite the difficult motivation for the crime(s), I am already into the series' next book, without my vision being colored by the companion tv movie. That can wait.

This collection of 3 interconnected novellas set in academia was a highly entertaining read. The felines creeping through the text were not all that earned this work a comparison to Poe. Suspenseful and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny.

This memoir of working as one of the first women on the sales floor at Tiffany & Co. was informative and sweet, but a bit dull. It's an easy read and definitely suitable for a young adult reader. If you like stories about New York and "career girl" narratives you might enjoy it. I'd hoped for a bit more.
