[quote=""SonjaMarie""]Wow, I liked "Mr. Whicher", but then I like murder mysteries a lot, nonfiction and fiction.

So do I, including Victorian mysteries, but I think this one should have been called "The History of Mr Whicher", it's a shame as the actual case is very interesting, but I'm just finding the book boring
There's a TV adaptation coming along soon, so it will be interesting to see how they've adapted it.

Started Outlander last night. I've wanted to get into this series for ages. I do have the paperback of the novel, but after using a Kindle for the past six months I decided the font was too small, so I bought the Kindle version. Kindle has good deals on the books in this series. They cost either $5.00 or $7.01 (an odd price).

Getting towards the end of Hollick's I am the Chosen King and knowing how it ends I'm taking a break and reading an older romance, This Golden Valley by Francine Rivers. California gold country, one of my favorite settings.

Finished Bill Bryson's At Home: A Short History of Private Life. His usual quirky fare. I think I'll give up on Nicolas and Alexandra. It's well written, but it's not an era that I'm particularly interested in...plus I know the sad ending...and life's too short.

Ah, I guess it didn't bother me all that much, sorry you didn't enjoy it. I didn't know about the adaptation, I wonder if it's just for the UK. Maybe it'll be on DVD some day.
