Yesterday I finished The Man With a Load of Mischief by Martha Grimes, the first book in her Richard Jury series.
It is a decent mystery, set in a small English town. Light entertainment, but good light entertainment.

Yesterday, I finished The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens.
I developed a dislike for Dickens after speed reading Great Expectations on high school. I tried to read A Tale of Two Cities years later, but could never get into, which I thought confirmed that I didn't like Dickens, but I did enjoy this book. The pathos at the end is very overdone, but otherwise it is enjoyable.
