My book club read The Vows of Silence by Susan Hill. Most of the members enjoy mysteries. I don't. I read the first two chapters, then the last two chapters, and finally the middle chapters. I prefer non-mysterious mysteries. Just tell me who did it and I'll go on from there. Another reason I don't like mysteries is all the violence; specifically shootings in this case. So I'm not a fan of this book. I still enjoyed the discussion, learning more about the author, boning up on British slang, and discussing the plot. Wednesday, July 9, 2014
