I’ve been in Pennsylvania getting information about a terrorist attack. It’s One Perfect Lie by Lisa Scottoline.

I have been enjoying bookish visits to France this month. I travelled to the Dordogne in the company of Martin Walker'sChief of Police Bruno Courreges and 'The shooting at Chateau Rock' which may have a different title in the US as it does not come up on touchstones. It is No 13 in the series.
Currently I am further North, in Poissons-les-Marais in Picardie with Inspector Lucas Rocco, late of the Paris police. I am greatly enjoying Death on the Marais and feel confident that I will read more in this series of which this is the first.

>5 Maura49: The reason it didn't come up in Touchstones is because you probably didn't have the capability to put the little marks over the word "Chateau". I don't either...so when I put it in the list of the places we have traveled under "France"...I copied it into "search' and then copied and pasted it and it came up in the Touchstones.

>6 Carol420: Thanks Carol. That's a good tip.

I've been in England and France in the 1940s with a young woman who wants to find her cousin who went missing in France during the German occupation. It's The Alice Network by Kate Quinn.
