A Dangerous Fortune by Ken Follett. In 1866 England a student drowns at an exclusive boy's school. The book details the banking crisis, treachery, and how the tragedy affects those involved throughout decades. It's one of Follett's earlier books and is very interesting.

Oops! Sorry for the error! It reminds me of a quote...was it by Mark Twain...? Anyway, someone had been notified that there were rumors of his death and the person was very much alive. The quote goes something like this: "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

I fnished Alice Hoffman "Seventh Heaven." I love her books so much.

I picked up two new books at the library today:

"DYING FOR DEVIL'S FOOD" by Jenn McKinlay (the latest in her Cupcake Shop cozy mystery series)

"THE ROAD TO GRANTCHESTER" by James Runcie (this is a prequel to the books and tv series, which shows Sidney's life before coming to Grantchester)

@dawg lover I have The Road to Grantchester on waitlist. My wait time is estimated at 14 weeks, lol. Have you read when the series is coming back to PBS? I know it has started in the UK. I wonder how I'll like it without James Norton.

@smoky22 - I read somewhere that it will be back in July? Sidney will be in the first few episodes, I believe. I wonder if the show will keep my interest without him, too. So far, the book is not very good. It is all about Sidney's war years right now, and I am just skimming through it. I hope it will get better.
