And, I'm sorry to say, I know nothing about the fourth through the sixth books.<br /><br />If you turn to them, do post or let me know your thoughts about them.<br /><br />Enjoy these last days of summer!<br /><br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-69581455168170637322012-08-10T18:14:20.412-04:002012-08-10T18:14:20.412-04:00Oh, Caroline, it's a lovely book to read in No...Oh, Caroline, it's a lovely book to read in November or December. That's when I read it. The dark nights and chill mirrored the book's atmosphere, so it was perfect. Enjoy!<br /><br />Cold River is widely available as a very low-cost used book, although it is also still in print as an inexpensive paperback. It will let you see and experience vicariously a haunting adventure in the Adirondack wilderness.<br /><br />Best to you, as always,<br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-86355370006084286192012-08-10T09:11:05.859-04:002012-08-10T09:11:05.859-04:00I recently discovered this author and have now rea...I recently discovered this author and have now read the first three books. Though I liked the first two very much I was disappointed by the third, which seemed to follow an obvious formula. Because they are pub in the US and not here, I'd managed to buy the next 3 in the series second-hand (ex-library editions) so I suppose I'll have to read them in the hope that the series picks up again!<br /><br />I really liked the central idea of the two moral but likeable people and their attitudes to their work, as well as the strong sense of location and place which you discuss in your post. But, for me the jury is out as to whether the author is just going to recycle the same book (essentially) each time, eg like J D Robb, or if she's going to develop them so they evolve in interesting ways.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-52725986729750870072012-08-10T04:02:54.422-04:002012-08-10T04:02:54.422-04:00I've bought In the Bleak Midwinter after you m...I've bought In the Bleak Midwinter after you menioned it here. Should finally read it but it's too warm just yet.<br />Cold River sounds like something I need to look up as well.Carolinehttp://beautyisasleepingcat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
