She isn't for everyone and I do think you have to be in the right mood for her. If you try again I suggest Death on the Nile, Appointment with Death, or Murder in Mesopotamia. I think you'd like the settings and they're not quite dry as some of hers can be.Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-69879233322039623582017-07-05T08:13:58.303-07:002017-07-05T08:13:58.303-07:00I really like these covers.
