We share 259 books, mainly mysteries. I receive most of my books through a Books by Mail service for shut-ins - I have some vision and mobility problems. I plan to request some books by Margaret Forster, in particular the Daphne Du Maurier biography. I liked your review of Muller's "Coming Back." Everyone goes their own way in the investigation until McCone steps in and assumes parts of her old role as leader. They need her to hold the investigation together and in line while allowing them the space to work the investigation in their own style.

I also have Muller's "Come Back" as 28. The difference is I count "Double," which she co-wrote with Bill Pronzini, as number 6. If you leave it out "Come Back" is # 27. I suspect you did as I did in numbering the books.

Its sometimes hard figuring out who is whom when we use our 'online' names :) Welcome to LT, it becomes addictive :)

Hello again! Thanks for thinking that my library is interesting! You've certainly been busy with yours, and I look forward to browsing.

Hi, are you Kirsty? Sally from 4MA is also around, as Sally906. And I see Peggy who posts as LizzieD has left a message on your profile page.

Your reviews popped up on my "Reviews of other books in Lizzie's library," and since we read in the same general areas, I wanted to stop by and speak. Now I see that you're a newby (can't be right that you joined LT only today, can it?), I'm doubly glad that I did. Perhaps you would be interested in joining the Virago group. I'll leave an invitation so that you can check it out - wonderful women who read a lot!
So, welcome!
Peggy
