I treat each book as a stand alone murder coming into the lives of the characters. Gail's books build the lives of her family from book to book. The sequence of murders does not develop the series.<br /><br />Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-32095686332969397892013-10-16T19:35:34.596-06:002013-10-16T19:35:34.596-06:00TracyK: Thanks for the comment.

I find it hard to accept that Joanne can be connected so cloesly to so many murders even in a city the size of Regina. Based on your comments, this one clearly builds on the previous book so I will no doubt read it.Kent Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834261948994921554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-55642578985776544202013-10-15T13:50:39.736-06:002013-10-15T13:50:39.736-06:00Bill, I am very far behind you in the series but t...Bill, I am very far behind you in the series but that means I have a lot of good books ahead of me.

Costume parties are something I really like in a book, and I also like the way Bowen often writes about art, in such an interesting and accessible way. So this one will be perfect for me...Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-76486876285216473312013-10-13T23:17:34.776-06:002013-10-13T23:17:34.776-06:00Margot: Thanks for the comment.
