I've been doing plenty of reading lately. I always enjoy Ruth Rendell and her alter-ego Barbara Vine. At the moment I'm reading Asta's book and am thoroughly enjoying it as usual. But there's something about the way she introduces her characters which bamboozles me. After 50 pages I've had to go back to the beginning and use a pen and paper to make a list of he goes with her goes with he goes with her and build up a tree of family and other people. Without this as a reference I just can't make sense of the story !
Before that I found a couple of Kate Mosse books - Labyrinth and Sepulchre. It's ages since I've read one of this kind of book where a person's brain can retain traces of their forebear's history. Makes for a really good read with the story moving between the present and the past, in this case the wars of hundreds of years ago of intolerance in southern France.
