I am the Only Running Footman

Published in 1986.

"The headlamps of the car picked her out through the fog and the rain; she was standing on the shoulder about a hundred yards from the cafe, her backpack on the ground beside her."

The first time I read "Jury had to reach across Susan Brendon-Hunt...." it came somewhat as a shock somehow.....had I really expected him to remain chase througout the whole series???

Melrose has his share of women right how -- he's reading Polly Praed's latest novel, Vivien is back in town (without the Italian fiance) and Lucinda St. Clair who has blown into Long Piddleton in her Porsche to convince Melrose to come to Somers Abbas because it seems likely that David Marr, her neighbor and close friend.........might be needing some help to prove his innocence.......

Someone is strangling women with their scarves.......don't wear your scarf with the ends dangling over your back! Macalvie and Jury are again on separate cases that are undeniably related.

How did Jury meet Susan? Well, Carole-anne had decided one day to call a decorator to spruce up Jury's flat........Susan may not have required her swatches, but she'd settled in for stay anyway.......not if Carole-anne has anything to do with it!

Don't you just wish there was a Starrdust near you?

Happy Reading!

Help the Poor Struggler

Published in 1985

"The little girl stood in her flannel nightdress holding the telephone receiver. She carefully dialed the numbers her mother always did when she wanted the operator."

Introducing Chief Superintendent Brian Macalvie of the Devon-Cornwall constabulary.

"Who the hell are you?" are his first words to Jury.

Macalvie is sure that two current cases are somehow tied in to a 20 year old murder that had been blamed on a young medical student and sent him to Dartmoor prison. Macalvie was sure he didn't do it, but had been unable to prove it......and it still bothered him.

Despite Macalvie's independent ways, he and Jury form a working partnership....and even more surprisingly, Macalvie and Wiggins become inseparable - it must be the Fisherman's Friends.

Not surprisingly, Jury calls upon his friend "an Earl with a Silver Ghost" to befriend Jesse, the young orphaned heiress who lives with her Uncle, a string of governesses, and a garage full of fabulous autos..........

Jury is sure that somehow she is part of the puzzle.

Happy Reading!

Only 7 more sleeps......til

I've got my tickets.....do you have yours?

Sheeweknits.com update

I've renewed ownership to sheeweknits.com and have moved it to Explornet as my web site host.....unfortunately, Explornet hasn't been able to tell me why I can't publish to my web site using Frontpage (which I've been using for the past 8 years).

My tech guy tells me that a friend of his can publish to my web site, so sorry, he can't help me - LOL!!!

So for now, no sheeweknits.com until I get this sorted out -- or I create a new web site with different software.....any suggestions ???? anybody????

Peonies

Luckily I took some photos of the peonies before the 3 days of rain last week....because they were pretty spectacular this year.

I love how showy these plants are!

APB - Soap and Felt Fibre Artist Wanted!

While at the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival in 2008, I bought a hand made bar of soap, that was wrapped in felt -- it was dark orange with a brown design on it that looked like a shepherds cross......I've kept it in a drawer ever since.....until a few days ago....when I finally opened it and started using it in the bath.

It's lovely soap, and I really like the felt on it that acts like a wash cloth....but there was no identification in or on the bag that contained the soap.....an of course, I want more!

Anyone have any ideas?
