This morning I have been reading a book I know I would have loved ten years ago, "Bruno, Chief of Police" by Martin Walker. Bruno is a charming man, but dammit, I can't keep both the people and the mystery in my brain at the same time.
I would like to see an Old Folk section at Chapters that would provide us with books of no more than 4 important characters, no pets, (especially those with names like Gigi and Bobby so you keep thinking mistakenly that they are more people in the story), and no more than 3 possible killers of the important characters. Also it would be a lovely addition to have a built-in movable ribbon that tells you where you left off the story.
And while I'm at it, Chapters, please put more chocolate bars at the pay desk. It only makes sense that I need to focus on books where the books are and chocolate where it brings additional joy to my visit to Chapters. Thank you.
I am like this with tv mysteries. Who was that anyway?
ReplyDeleteIt happens to me to, though I usually blame it on a failing of the author. Being able to organize and recognize the characters is pretty important.
