Oh, joy. Casual racism. When I'm not in a shippy mood I'm shaking my head at what ACD thought would make a good story.

This is somehow even more shippy on audio than on paper. Didn't think that was possible.

A series reread before I get to the new book. I've missed Toreth and this world so much.

That was a book. Written by Julia Spencer-Fleming. About Clare Fergusson and Russ van Alstyne. In a series of mystery books.

And that explains why I read it. Why I stuck with it until the end. Because the format of minute-to-minute or hour-to-hour detailed storytelling might have been an interesting craft choice, it made for a pointless novel. A futile episode in the middle of a series.

So I'm done and that's that.

*picks up the next book*

Quite entertaining, but I wouldn't call it high literature. There were some theses I can't agree with and I doubt I'd continue reading these books if I hadn't watched the show first and become attached to these characters.
