(I agree that Rose is hard to warm to, but I also agree that it's her age which makes her that way, rather than a miss on the Tamakis' part.) I've got Kwei Quartey's mysteries on my TBR and suspect I'll be intrigued by the characters as you are: thanks for the encouragement!Buried In Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808249065026802365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-70072291243822766612015-01-28T17:42:45.936-06:002015-01-28T17:42:45.936-06:00I keep checking out This One Summer from the libra...I keep checking out This One Summer from the library and returning it unread.

I actually don't really know what it's about, though I did vaguely suspect it was going to deal with a number of sad things (to go with its sad color palette). I'm having an all-comics-all-the-time week so far, and TOS is next on my list!Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-24696417753886637882015-01-26T13:50:32.671-06:002015-01-26T13:50:32.671-06:00My mystery book group read WIFE OF THE GODS severa...My mystery book group read WIFE OF THE GODS several years ago and it was a positive experience. Many noted that their previous mystery reading in Africa was limited to the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. And, of course, this one was much different. I meant to continue the series, but have not up to now. Thanks for the reminder and I'll go look and see what #2 Darko Dawson book is.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.com
