Title: Old-fashioned Mysery and Good.
Review: It took a little getting into, but I could see the author laying down clues very early, and this made me keep going--which I'm glad I did. i like to use my brain. This is my first Peter Shandy book. I liked him and the romance (although it was a definite secondary plot line) and the mystery. I wish the characters had a little more depth. As a whole, though, it was a good weekend read. Contrary to so many contemporary books, my adrenalin stayed normal; and I could put the book down over the weekend and pick it up again when I had the time. That was truly enjoyable! I'm tired of books that pump out so much danger and suspense that I either "have to finish them." or can't sleep if I put them down. I don't buy them, anymore. I have a life, and I want books that fit into it. Besides mysteries are better than today's "suspense" novels--as I said, I do like to use my brain.
