Maybe we can go halvsies on it, it isn't cheap in any edition. Not outrageously expensive, but a bite to my book budget.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-66504633952786503122014-08-19T11:44:10.709-07:002014-08-19T11:44:10.709-07:00Glen, I don't want to come between husband and...Glen, I don't want to come between husband and wife, so I'll just recommend you both read it!

Always nice isn't it when you read a book that gets it in one. And it's good to hear there's some dark wit going through this too. Not sure this one's for me, but I give the author credit for telling an interesting story with a good sense of setting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
