Time For Some Book Discussion

Has anyone else finished "The Cater Street Hangman"?  I read it and thought it was okay.  Overall I felt kind of let down because I was expecting to feel more suspense.  Even though it was a murder mystery, I didn't really have the feeling of curiosity and eagerness to find out who the murderer was.  I liked the main character, Charlotte, but I thought the rest of the family was kind of annoying. 
But here is the thing that really disturbed me....did you guys know that Anne Perry, the author, is LDS?  Did you also know that when she was a teenager she and her best friend murdered her friend's mom?  Seriously.  For reals.  Before I even read the book Kim told me about this and I read about it on wikipedia.  I was, and still am, so disturbed by this.  AND she writes murder mysteries!!!  Is anyone else totally creeped out by this?

Catch Up

Ok, I know I was supposed to pick a book for November but Kim and I were talking and we thought it would be a good idea to take a month or two to catch up.
As in, let's pick new books AFTER the holidays.
But, I still want to hear thoughts on the books from the last couple months. So let's keep up the commentary and then in January I'll pick a new one.
Today our RS lesson was about the new book about the RS that we were supposed to read. I haven't read it yet. Sigh. But, today totally inspired me to do it. Hopefully I'll have some insights to add to Camille's.
Love you all.
