Hamdy Sheref _amdy_heref — I was telling a friend recently that at some point fictional serial killers and their antics get a bit silly. (I was thinking at the time of an American author whose serial killer kidnapped strippers and made them-- under threat of death-- pole dance until exhaustion then killed them anyway.) However, that was pretty much my feeling about The Doll Strangler who left mutilated Victorian doll beside his dead mutilated victims. There was some potential in the supernatural in this book-- the Ragged School and the idea of the pathetic ghosts of starved Victorian children buried in and around the building, disturbed by renovation is quite creepy. But Ellis' Diocesan Expert on Creepy Things would be eaten for lunch by Phil Rickman's Merrily Watkins. In fact, I'm not sure why he even appeared because no one wanted his help. Joe Plantagenet is remarkably bland despite having an appropriately angsty background-- dead wife, dead former partner. His boss, DCI Emily Thwaite, gets the role of the detective who can't get home to see her family that Wesley Peterson carries in Ellis' other series as well as DI Gerry Heffernan's weight problem. That just leaves Plantagenet with commitment issues. I was also not impressed with the resolution-- there is a high degree of coincidence involved and a shocking degree of lock picking by the police. While I know that English law does not accept the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree doctrine, the amount of breaking the close by the police to move the plot along was pretty unbelievable. I went to some trouble to get the audio version read by Gordon Griffin. I was not impressed. Mr. Griffin's range seemed limited and for some reason he frequently used a stage whisper that I personally found irritating. He did not mispronounce words though and his pacing was good. It's just that I missed the distinct accents that some top of the line readers bring to their audio book work. It will likely be a while before I pick up another Joe Plantagenet crime novel, audio or otherwise.

Lúcio Tarsio luciotarsi6407 — Not as well developed a plot as her other books. Would have loved it if the author had delved into the history of each of the characters more. Especially the historical characters. Just an "ok", quick read.

Nancy Smith nanmade — I really enjoyed reading these poems. They were a peaceful respite after my journey to India. I need to come back when I have the book in front of me and list some of my favorite poems here.
