the almost 600-page Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Whew. This is getting to be quite the story. Certain things I wasn't expecting, being it is so hugely popular.

One thing is nagging at me. Now, I'm no detective but it seems like they should take a little more interest in who sends the flowers. I know, no return address and no finger prints. BUT, with the list of suspects why not just check to see who was in the different countries. Too simple? I won't be happy if that end is left hanging but I gotta feeling it's all going to be wrapped up nicely. After all, there's still almost 300 pages to go.

Amazing book.

Hope you got your book back, scarletwoman, and that you enjoy Evan. Cozy, yes. Light reading, in spite of all the dead bodies.
