My main problem is the constant descriptions of Dame Beatrice's cackling, clutching yellow claws etc. But still, I've put up with Poirot's little grey cells & Peter Wimsey's piffling all these years... I've read 4 (I think) in the last year & enjoyed 3 of them. I have another 3 from the library, including Butcher's Shop, so that one will be next. Thanks for the review & I hope your sink is fixed soon.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-35297088519383299232011-03-09T21:07:53.876+00:002011-03-09T21:07:53.876+00:00Jo - she's odd and sometimes incomprehensible ...Jo - she's odd and sometimes incomprehensible (to me) but with lots of good bits too.

I am a new book blogger and although my husband is waiting for me to watch some MI-5 episodes that we have on Netflix (I think it is called Spooks in the UK), I am having fun reading posts like yours. <br /><br />For some reason, I have found a number of UK book bloggers (versus American) which is great as we lived in London for 4 years and I miss the British humor. One more reason to love the Internet!Josh's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557596295055675267noreply@blogger.com
