The Darkness Nigh - by Vishesh Sharma
A nail biting Thriller available at Lulu

Great Story very gripping !!!!!!

Michael North took shelter with a group of people from the raging storm and there over a casual argument he discovered the less spoken mysteries & legends related to a place called Chihuahua.
The group argued and learnt more facts about these tales. The stories took them to past, deeper & deeper and revealed the history of the place and the facts behind these fables.
Soon everybody realized that there is more to these stories and they are playing part in it

Reading my second book of the "Spellman" series - The Curse Of The Spellmans by Lisa Lutz. Very funny series based upon a dysfunctional family of private investigators and their sometimes equally eccentric circle of friends, told through the narration and point of view of Isabel, the oldest daughter.

Still working my way through Umberto Eco The Name of the Rose. It's been an interesting journey. For someone who is not religious at all ther has been a lot of middle ages religious philosophy to absorb, which probably confirms my atheism. It also reminds me how much Latin I have forgotten since high school! The murdr mystery part of the story is quite fascinating. Should finish it in the next couple of days.

Thanks for reminding me to carry on reading his series!
