My light reading this month has been to continue the Wesley Peterson mysteries set in Devon. So far I’ve read The Shining Skull, Flesh Tailor, and The Blood Pit. I’ve gotten a bit out of order because of what was available at the public library. The premise is that Wesley’s friend and archaeologist Neil Watson is always working on a dig that mirrors the murders Wesley is investigating. It’s a pretty ludicrous set up by book 13 but they are fun and I’m enjoying them. My more serious fiction right now is Abraham Verghese’s The Covenant of Water which I am savouring. I’m listening to the audio book read by the author and it is achingly beautiful and sad and moving. I’m about 60% through it now and already grieving that one day soon I will finish it. Then I expect I may have to read the paper copy so I can write out the lines I never want to forget. I loved his earlier novel Cutting for Stone and kept buying copies and giving them away. I think this will happen with this one too.
