The Historian by Kostova is quite a chunk at 642 pages and it took a little over a week to read it. That it didn't take longer speaks to how it held my interest.<BR/><BR/>Today I'm in Tokyo and I think it is the 1990s. I came all the way from 1936 as a commoner to become the Empress of Japan.

I'm actually there in 2 different time periods.<BR/><BR/>Gwen Shackleton is remembering events of her life in the town during World War II. This was before the town was evacuated and intentionally flooded by a reservoir.<BR/><BR/>In the present day, it's a particularly dry summer and the reservoir is empty - revealing the ruins of the flooded town of Hobb's End. A young boy exploring them has found a skeleton. Inspector Alan Banks and Detective Sergeant Annie Cabbot are investigating this 50 year old murder.<BR/><BR/>In a Dry Season by Peter Robinson is the 12th in his Inspector Banks series.SuziQoregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552565982732943323noreply@blogger.com
