I haven't done this in a while...

Last night, I grabbed something that seemed nice and emotional (to suit the mood of my lurgy, which usually makes me want to watch stupid movies and read sentimental novels) from my TBR stack that I'd made a start on and then abandoned for things that appealed to me more in my normal state of mind, just for some light reading before sleep.

This.

And then I couldn't stop. I just couldn't stop. That wasn't mainly a m/m romance, it was a mystery! A ghost story! A great gripping yarn with a dark secret from the past and a local witch a bit reminiscent of Granny Weatherwax and some very nicely done Edwardian banter, and I just wanted to know how it all hung together and why it all had apparently gone so terribly awry, and then suddenly it was 5 am, and the book was finished.

Whoah.-

The other reviewer loved it, too, in spite of its weaknesses.

I love it. :) It's one of my favorite novels, and I hope Don writes a sequel soon.

One's been submitted, and I've started another...
