I'm pleased you enjoyed it, and I appreciated your review. <br /><br />If you'll permit me some crass commercialism, I'd like to let you and your followers know that Smashwords is running a year-end sale, and I'm participating. The sale began at midnight Pacific time on December 25th, and ends at midnight Pacific time on December 31st. I've reduced the price of "The Play of Light and Shadow" to $1.12. You can find it and other work, some of which is free, here: https://www.smashwords.com/books/search?query=Barry+Ergang<br /><br />Thanks again, and have a great New Year.

You already like Gilbert and <i>The Clock in the Hat Box</i> is not only one of her best mysteries, but a pretty good detective story in general. So I look forward to your five-star review.

You're all just wrong! If you pick up another one, I recommend <i>The Case of the Missing Minutes</i>. <br /><br />I don't think those Conan episodes were released on DVD, not over here anyway, but, you know, they can be found online.

Your list also prompted me to search for the Gilbert novel to see if any cheap copies were available as I have not been successful in the past. My luck was in, finding one for under £6. So hopefully I'll get to see how great this book is first hand soon.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616800837907092489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-27678083380070481022018-12-26T00:23:57.538+01:002018-12-26T00:23:57.538+01:00Thanks for the summary post - plenty of Bush, I se...Thanks for the summary post - plenty of Bush, I see! I've only read one novel by him, which I didn't especially enjoy. Looks like I should pick up another one.<br /><br />Your and Ho-Ling's commendation of the Conan TV specials piqued my interest; I recall reading the original posts, but not knowing where to locate the episodes. Are they available on DVD or on crunchyroll?
