And I'll try the mysteries...I'm getting more and more interested in historical mysteries. Can't wait to read "The Language of Bees" by Laurie R. King. Never read the classic Sherlock Holmes but I love Mary Russell.<br />Thanks for your suggestions and your comments, Angie!Lesley-Anne McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899105096816697616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333091580028808174.post-50028273228232951872009-05-24T17:40:05.180-07:002009-05-24T17:40:05.180-07:00What I like about GH is the narration.

Cotillion has such great commentary--at one point Kitty sympathizes with Dolph's mother when she realizes that Dolph is really quite trying sometimes--and such a great accidental love story, besides wonderful views of London, that it's one of my favorites. I always like the ones where they try on dresses. And Meg is such a ditz.<br /><br />Charity Girl *is* very deriviative. Ignore the main plot and concentrate on the secondary characters.<br /><br />GH had a way with words and a way with character. Even her lesser books (well, maybe not the contemporaries...I did try two of them and being a woman then must have been a real trial) have great delights in language. Cousin Kate is nice until the nasty aunt shows up.<br /><br />And the mysteries; well, if you don't, you don't, but Duplicate Death and Death in the Stocks are fine. Envious Casca is another one of my favorites and sometimes it's funny.Angienoreply@blogger.com
