This is the third year in a row that November has brought a head cold to me. I thought that this time it was going to pass mildly by, but today, the third day is bad enough that all I can contemplate doing is abandoning my lists, and indulging myself by reading a whodunnit. In looking for a suitable illustration I encountered this below from a blog also talking about light reading during a cold.
I can second her recommendation of Dorothy L. Sayers, but do not know The Ghost and Mrs Muir by R.A. Dick. I am about to embark on the latest novel by Graeme Macrae Burnet: The Accident on the A35. I very much enjoyed his two previous novels, and this one is another told about the character from his first - the French policeman Georges Gorski in The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau. Here is a recent review of the latest novel.

I used to get a cold around the 20th of September - every year without fail. Fortunately, it has not happened in a while. I hope you feel better soon, and may this be the last one this winter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eirene. I too hope it is the last one.
