Will do :o)


>Ok, now if you trust my judgement a little, try to find a copy of "Caught in the Light" by Robert Goddard.

>>I did read the previous novel (the one written right before The Garden of Evil) and I was SHOCKED when I read about Emily in the The Garden of Evil. That was what was so depressing...and it was in the beginning of the book. I had to read that section again to make sure I understood it correctly!

>>>>Unless you consider Emily...
>>>
>>>Yes, Emily. Also Aldo, the baker/pickpocket. I suppose when you consider that Hewson really lets you get to know the victims before they become victims, it can be a bit depressing.
>>>
>>>Of course, if you'd read the previous novels, you'd know Emily even a bit better - then think how you'd have felt.

>>>>>Garden of Evil isn't really depressing. It's just that at the beginning (well, more than just the beginning really), the bad guy seems untouchable and smug and it's frustrating. But it's a beautifully written book.
>>>>>
>>>>>>You want depressing, read "Revolutionary Road." Actually don't -- it is a VERY bleak book. I'm not sure what made me decide to pick that one up instead of continuing with light mysteries. I am back to them now -- P.D. James and Ian Rankin.

>>>>>>>Arrrgghhh! The beginning of the "Garden of Evil" was so depressing and frustrating!!!!!! An excellent read though. Great recommendation.

>>>>>>>>I don't know "Little Lady Agency", but "Garden of Evil" is amazing. I hope you don't mind a little art history mixed into your mysteries because it's a real treat in this book. The Spellman Files is a lot of fun, but I've heard that "Curse of the Spellmans" is even funnier.
