Places That Only the Bravest of Us Would Dare to Visit
The polar ice cap. Good thing meekats have fur. Hope it's enough.
On the Titanic. HELP!!!

I've been in a town in New Mexico that doesn't exist on any map and sometimes just disappears for periods of time. You can sometimes move in but you may never be able to move out. American Elsewhere/Robert Jackson Bennett. I'm also visiting with Sebastian St. Cyr in 1812 England as he investigates the murder of two men found in a seal crypt and killed half a century apart. What Remains of Heaven /C,S. Harris

Currently freezing to near-death on the polar ice-cap, somewhere in the Arctic Circle - Night Without End, Alistair MacLean.

I'm in Minnesota following an investigation into the murders of 3 old people who were all in concentration camps. It's Live Bait by P.J. Tracy

>4 gaylebutz:. I loved the PJ Tracy books i’ve read, i really should pick up another.

>5 bluebird_: This is my first one and I'm really enjoying it. There's a lot of wisecracking humor in it that I like along with an interesting police procedural.

I'm back in England. Think I'm going to apply for citizenship:) I'm in a really spooky place where the police have just discovered three bodies in a 10 year old grave that should only have had one. Blood Harvest/S,J. (Sharon) Bolton

Scotland - Greyfriars House by Emma Fraser. Really enjoying this - don't want it to end!

Australia - On the Beach by Nevil Shute (a re-read, that, given the current political climate, feels very plausible)

I’m finally out of England! the child by Fiona Barton was just an ‘ok’ read for me. Barton created a series of interesting characters, but the story itself was not compelling. I figured out the mystery early on and the solution held no surprises for me. 3 star read.

I didn’t travel far for my next destination. I’m trapped in the Outer Hebrides with David Hunter, a few coppers, a group of villagers...and a murderer. written in bone by Simon Beckett.

Russia, in John le Carré's The Russia House, 4.5★s. Spy-stuff circa 1989.

I've been in Indiana and California with a young woman whose family has gone through a very difficult situation. It's We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler.

Now I'm in North Carolina where 3 women have found an old box of letters and diaries of 2 soldiers who were in the Civil War on opposite sides. It's A Blue and Gray Christmas by Joan Medlicott.

I started in Washington, D.C. and ended up in California riding The Christmas Train by David Baldacci.

I've also been in France trying to figure out who stole an expensive Gaugain painting and murdered the owners in A Death in Brittany by Jean-Luc Bannalec.
