He is great with setting and I'm enjoying it a lot--of course I've never been to Baltimore, so I wouldn't know if there were errors!Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-91897452005603408582008-07-14T11:41:00.000-04:002008-07-14T11:41:00.000-04:00I always enjoy reading a book set in a place where...I always enjoy reading a book set in a place where I've actually been -- but if I find inaccuracies, I'm very annoyed! I like Laura Lippman's Baltimore because I've lived there, and I like books set in the south because I grew up there. I have to confess that in general I prefer the familiar over the exotic.Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-16364568234995104812008-07-14T09:30:00.000-04:002008-07-14T09:30:00.000-04:00Do you know I've never read Lawrence Block?

And I agree about Mary Stewart, although my favorite is her description of Greek islands.<BR/><BR/>I like the blue dock, too, and it reminds me of the cover of Martha Grimes' book THE END OF THE PIER.Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-34659101710870124822008-07-14T09:28:00.000-04:002008-07-14T09:28:00.000-04:00Julia, I opened PDD this morning thinking, "I wond...Julia, I opened PDD this morning thinking, "I wonder what photos Julia has for us today," and got even more of a treat than I expected. For me, the blue dock takes the blue ribbon. As for mystery settings, hmmm: Donna Leon's Venice; Lawrence Block's New York; the European settings in your favorite Mary Stewart, especially the South of France (uncrowded with tourists as it would never be today).Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.com
