Le nubian,
I just recently read all of French's books, and liked them, but
Broken Harbour
was probably my least favourite. I would say she is more interested in examining the lives and motivations of the detectives. I think the crimes come a close second. And I think at least one of the characters that I think you're talking about as having a mental illness is there to mainly to serve
to enhance the main characters manpain. I agree her character rang false.
If you didn't like this books, I'm pretty sure you won't like her others.
Polter, that's not quite right,
they solve the murder at that is the basis of the plot, but a mystery that is background for the main character is never resolved.
Sue,
I don't disagree with you, but the detective's
mother was clearly bipolar and/or clinically depressed and coincidentally, his baby sister had hallucinations at an
early age? That's kind of
unheard of to happen that early, and when it does, I am not sure she would be all that functional as an
adult. Anyway, why not explore
genetic components to the mental illness in the family and concerns that the detective himself may have considered (and perhaps dismissed) having a serious illness himself?
I don't understand how they could go down that road, and not completely flush it out in that instance.
Yes, thanks for the link!
Le Nub, I had kind of forgot
about the mother already.
I think she was trying
to tie the sister's craziness to the trauma of her mother trying to take her with her when she committed suicide and may not have thought making a genetic link.
I'm not sure what she intended. His
sister's illness was all over the place. I think it was more poetic license than anything else.
Scola, I'm a couple eps behind and will be stalled for the next month and a half, so I can't comment on that.
There's apparently some scepticism that
Griff is who they say.
Polgara, I tried that before I read the books. It went badly.
Erin, I will be SHOCKED if
Jon is/stays dead.
I need book recommendations for a 6 year-old (in two weeks!) who reads at a 3rd grade level. Short chapter book series or comic books would be awesome. He's kind of over Magic Treehouse, and we already own everything Roald Dahl ever wrote.
I'm looking at the 2-3rd grade reading lists on the NYPL site, and I can't tell what's age-appropriate content-wise.

You're going to have to stop being such awesome parents; you're making all the other kids look bad.
I had nothing to do with it! Blame his kindergarten teacher.

The Magic Trixie comics by Jill Thompson? Bone?
