My husband and I were in the UK from mid-March to mid-April last year, and were late getting to Inverness because our hire car couldn't make it through the snow on the lane outside our Yorkshire cottage. It seems as though horrible winters are striking everywhere!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-85131338909157344172014-02-21T16:13:57.379-07:002014-02-21T16:13:57.379-07:00Thanks for the lovely review, Cathy!

I'm blushing.<br /><br />The winter weather I wrote about was all for real - so meteorologically exact that I actually checked the weather records on the key dates. We drove home from my mother's house in South wales that Christmas looking at 6 foot icicles hanging from some of the Georgian hill towns we passed through. You folks might get winters like that near the Canadian border - but we NEVER get winters like that here. Except, we did. On that drive home, I kept thinking, wow, imagine if a person got stuck out in that ...

Now that I'm a homeowner with a pool, I'd rather not have that happen again!

Although not crime fiction, the book discussions the mystery of why Monarch butterflies are not going to Mexico, but to Appalachia. Also, it follows the journey of self-realization and change made by the main character, a strong woman.<br /><br />Interestingly, the news came out recently that the Monarch butterfly population going to Mexico has dwindled a great deal due to climate change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-64517920291075771442014-02-18T13:05:41.315-07:002014-02-18T13:05:41.315-07:00You're very welcome, Lynn.

I love your site and the information you give us as readers. I have many TBRs after reading your reviews. I have enjoyed the books that I have read that you reviewed. I look forward to looking at your site every week day to see what you are reading and recommending. I, also, love the interviews and the trips to the Poisoned Pen.

It's so refreshing to have a character who is in the process of growing and dealing with her life besides being a good detective.

And it's set in Wales, one of my new favorite locations for crime fiction.<br /><br />By the way, have seen raves about Ivy Pochoda's Visitation Street. <br /><br />So, here's another book to put at the top of my TBR list. Gosh, I'll never get out of the house now, but that's OK with more snow coming this morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
