    Richard Osman, so far on chapter 5! It is slow going for me as the street names, provinces, etc., are poetry I need a map for. I was thinking about doing a rendition of your group based in Meridian where I live now. The home of Jimmy Rogers! Our Friends of the Library could be the 5 ladies, all retired, but avid readers. I’m on to Anne Cleeves, Nancy loves Oh! I forget—the Canadian series…please do not start a tv serial of your books! I know there is a lot of money in it…but what a spoiler! Whoever saw Perez with blonde hair! Thank you for your time!
    Or you could come to New Orleans, my 2nd home, and use their street names! Ooh la la!
