[Magdalen] Books

[Marion Thompson]

I absorbed earlier conversations here about Louise Penny and, starting 
last September, I plowed through all eleven of her books and am waiting 
for the 12th this August.  Because of the complex interplay of the 
hearts and minds of the characters, I have begun to reread them and am 
at #3.  It is fascinating to revisit the people and plots knowing what I 
know now and  being freed from 'who done it' and able to focus on what 
is really going on in these clever books.

Join me in a /café au lait/, Renee.

Marion, a pilgrim
