I have revised that opinion, insofar as I was probably depriving myself of a lot of great books and great writers.<br /> My first choice for setting remains the US though....small town, big city, rural backwaters,deserts....it covers all the bases. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-88261172943073614952013-06-27T15:49:46.803-07:002013-06-27T15:49:46.803-07:00This is interesting, Col, and just on your high re...This is interesting, Col, and just on your high recommendation I will have to keep an eye out for this book and this author. Having said that, I have to confess I don't usually go for books set in the South (because I grew up there). It will be interesting. Of course, with my 50 State challenge I will be forced to read more mysteries set in the South. <br /><br />Very convincing review.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-35597902005547504762013-06-27T05:37:48.010-07:002013-06-27T05:37:48.010-07:00Bernadette, I don't suppose I would want to re...Bernadette, I don't suppose I would want to read "small town" all the while, but I usually enjoy them when I do. I should probably make an effort to read more. <br />I suppose I live in a large-smallish town - 37000 pop. Not too much mystery in Leighton Buzzard! col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-15100228649055761672013-06-27T02:47:35.617-07:002013-06-27T02:47:35.617-07:00Always nice to have a 5 star read.

This sounds like a simple but delightful novel. I also like reading books off the beaten track to get back into the reading mood.Prashant C.
