Well I polished off the last of the Prime Suspect trilogy today.  Hubby was gone fishing for a few days, so it was nice to have a book to read in the evenings. 

I have to say overall I liked them.  The content was strong and at times graphic, and the language was rough for my taste (I'm a John Grisham fan for that reason) ~ but a compelling, character-driven story line kept me reading on.

You may recall the short-lived TV series by the same name (and based on the books), starring Maria Bello as a NY Detective.  It caught my attention and I had watched several episodes.  I thought it was a great new show, but apparently I was in the minority and it was cancelled.  These books take place in England (another reason I liked them), and the TV series there, starring Helen Mirren, ran for 15 years.

If you like crime stories and don't mind the "adult situation" stuff, you'll like them.  Just know that I won't be passing them on to my pastor to read.

Counting My Blessings,

             I'm ready to start reading the first of the Prime Suspect thriller series,

by Lynda La Plante, that I WON from Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. 

                             It's my first EVER  blogger win, and it's  a perfect prize for me. 

                                        I don't  normally enter contests and give-aways

                                                    (because I  don't need another thing)

I'm set for life with nic-nacs, and jewelry and such. 

  Just about the only thing I buy these days are books.  

So when Claudia offered up these mystery novels in a give-away recently, 

I entered to win!  You can read her book review here  

  How fun it was to look forward to getting a package in the mail. 

                                                Thank you Ms Claudia for making my day!
