Who joined a summer reading program? I joined Monday and have read nine hours (I had to clean my closet so I lost a day.)

I did too, but mine depends on number of books read. I have already read three books this summer. Have you read And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander?

No I haven't what's it about?
I've started reading a lot of Dean Koontz books this summer like Watchers and Odd Thomas, I find a lot of the adult section books aren't as interesting as teen/kids books and I still read a lot of those. I think the James Herriot books are great though and would suggest them to anyone.

It is one of three mysteries, so far in the series, set in the 1800s with a widowed female detective. I would definitely recommend it.
Here is what I found on Amazon about the book:
From Publishers Weekly
In this charming late Victorian romantic suspense novel, Emily, a young and beautiful widow, regrets her husband's African hunting expedition death less than is proper. The late Philip, Viscount Ashton, had a passion for classical antiquity, and Emily, in an attempt to get to know her husband postmortem, uses her newfound independence in London to study it. In the process, she forms a friendship with Cecile du Lac, a Parisian of a certain age, and realizes that there was more to Philip than she realized—including his genuine passion and love for her. The charming Colin Hargreaves may have been involved with Philip in art forgeries, and Andrew Palmer proposes to Emily and then offers evidence that Philip is still alive. By this time, Emily and Cecile are a well-practiced team of amateur sleuths: Phillip's secrets begin to emerge, and travel to Greece provides the possibilities of a new life. Alexander makes Emily light but sympathetic, and conveys period flavor without being ponderous. Her knowledge of the ethical dilemmas posed by Victorian etiquette is considerable; sexual chemistry in particular is handled with exquisite delicacy. The archeological background will lure readers who like to dig for their clues. (Oct.)
