It was exhausting just to read about it -- and in the heat, too.<br />Irrelevant to this post, but not to the blog, I am reading Peter May's book, "The Blackhouse." Where have I been? It's been on my TBR list for a few years.<br /><br />And I just read your reviews of the Lewis Trilogy, all winners. I can't wait to keep reading them -- and nothing is getting done today.<br /><br />Have your read his books set in China or the Enzo Files?

I'm glad for both of you that it's over. I think cases like that must be wrenching. <br /><br />Thanks as ever for the links. I've been reading about those discoveries in London.
