Lots of description made one feel like another occupant in the scene. You could feel the weather, the tension, the pain, the $26.00 $15.19 atmosphere in the gatherings. The Audible version had great accents. It is a wonderful mystery with a surprise ending, and I look forward to more by the same author.

It was just revealed that J.K. Rowling is behind this book. "I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer," JKR said, "because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience. It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation and pure pleasure to get feedback under a different name."

I wish you would do this : run your eye over any part of those of St. Paul's Epistles which begin with IlavAo? the Greek, I mean and without paying any attention to the meaning. Then do the same with the Epistle to the Hebrews, and try to balance in your own mind the question whether the latter does not deal in longer words than the former. It has always run in my head that a little expenditure of money would settle questions of authorship in this way. The best mode of explaining what I would try will be to put down the results I should expect as if I had tried them. Count a large number of words in Herodotus say all the first book and count all the letters ; divide the second numbers by the first, giving the average number of letters to a word in that look. Do the same with the second book. I should expect a very close approximation. If Book I. gave 5 - 624 letters per word, it would not surprise me if Book IT. gave 5*619. I judge by other things.
