The joy is that I came home to find a new book waiting for me: The Last Remains by Elly Griffiths. She is one of my favourite modern authors and she has her own shelf in one of my bookcases. The sadness is that I know this is the last book in the series about Dr. Ruth Galloway. It will almost feel like losing a friend as she is such a delightful character; so funny and so very real.
And so now comes the question. Do I read it one chapter a night and spread out the pleasure or do I behave like a glutton? I already know the answer of course, it will be the latter. There will be several very late night readings and then it will be done. There is the sadness.
However, all 15 books are in a satisfying, uniform line, in order. They will be read again, from the beginning. …..Review of the book will be posted (all too) soon.
