for reading P.D. She definitely has a certain style unlike others. It feels old-fashioned, in a way, although she touches on current themes. I am getting the same feeling from Tartt's The Goldfinch. This was just written a few years ago and starts off with an event that will feel familiar to anyone over 20. As time passes, though, the side characters in this story sound like they could be living in the 40s or something. I dunno, they are New York City natives and maybe that's how many people there talk and relate.
Glad to hear you are getting back into your riding groove. I am always happy to see you. Likewise on the finding stuff here. I just got a bunch of Midsomer Murder DVDs and am so looking forward to diving into them. I doubt I ever would have heard of them if not for here.
