I met Kelli at Bouchercon too. She's a fellow Minotaur author who came up with an astonishing idea: Roman noir. Kelli is a for-real scholar fluent in both Latin and Ancient Greek. The most amazing thing I heard at Bouchercon was Kelli saying, "I wasn't happy with the translations of Catallus so I did my own." Despite which she's written something which is pure noir entertainment, but in Roman Britain. ]]> <![CDATA[Gary added 'Say It With Poison']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69783510 to: Say It With Poison (Meredith and Markby Mysteries (Paperback)) by Ann Granger

by Peter Temple

The dialogue is actually very close to what you would expect to hear in a small Australian town. Which doesn't necessarily make it a better book for you, but does mean it's more realistic than might be obvious from a distance. ]]> <![CDATA[Gary is on page 50 of The Broken Shore: A... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69782491 Gary is on page 50 of 368 of The Broken Shore: A Novel ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Gary]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/195144-when-you-re-not-reading-a-cozy Gary made a comment in the Cozy Mysteries group:

Hi Irene, if you mean what style does Jane Finnis write in, then Aurelia is an innkeeper in first century Roman Britain, making a tough living and solving the odd crime. You can find her at http://www.janefinnis.com/. ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Gary]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67557005 Irene's review of The Ambassadors (Penguin Classics)

Great review, succinct and clear.
