As light entertainment until I get into the second book of the Frontiers Saga I a,m reading Vol 1 of

Albert Smith’s Culinary Capers. An old, former Det Superintendent sets out on a culinary trip of England and finds himself involved in crimes going on around him.

Sounds corny but it is fine, a nice read.

Oh—he is accompanied by an outsize German Shepherd who was trained and passed as a police dog but was later dismissed for a bad attitude!

“Lessons in chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus

Set in 1950s

Two chemists, one established one starting out.

Defacto relationship before that was acceptable.

Male chemist dies. Female chemist is fired and finds herself pregnant. Before this was a rower in a male–only 8 crewed boat.

Neither chemist the dead and the pregnant have family they want to acknowledge (one was a booby, a hell fire repent now moron.

The author experienced something like the protagonist of the book experienced and she wrote the first chapter in a white–hot rage about how male colleagues appropriated her work.

Reply #821 - Jan 22^nd, 2024 at 8:20pm They are basing the recent "Reacher" tv series on the books of Lee Child. The last season kind of sucked. But, I found that I do not have the book that the series was based upon. So, that was a blessing.

I prefer the TV Reacher over the original book version of the character, but I'm yet to check out season 2.
