I've been reading some mysteries lately, one called The Seventh Trumpet, the other called The Claws of the Cat. Both just okay. Starting my third mystery called Eva's Eye. A little bit of light reading for a change.

Those We Love Most

I have really mixed feelings about this story. In some ways, it seems so prosaic and predictable; even as it does have some memorable scenes and phrases. It is a very sad story, and I do not ultimately find it uplifting since I can't even begin to imagine the anguish expressed by the characters. The book has received many good reviews, and I can understand why even as I disagree.
