I was wrong; it did.<br /><br />BTW, I had no problem reading about the violence, the pervasive corruption, or even most of the medical material. The scabies stuff, though...<br /><br />Many thanks for the recommendation. Have a great Christmas and New Year.SteveHLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017186128084713758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-34348606634945383552015-11-19T19:53:34.212-05:002015-11-19T19:53:34.212-05:00I hope you will find a copy, Tracy.

And you'd probably like AMONG THIEVES, primarily because you're a man and secondarily, because you're used to very dark tales full of death and destruction. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-71655939923212715632015-11-13T12:45:32.425-05:002015-11-13T12:45:32.425-05:00With my first glimpse of the cover I missed the ey...With my first glimpse of the cover I missed the eyes and had the impression the story was about an English manor--a cozy, maybe. Then I read your enticing review and looked back at the cover. I not only saw the eyes, but now that I knew what the book was about they helped with the enticement. I shall seek this one out.
