Currently Reading - Elena Forbes, Die with Me

One of the bonuses of no power is that you can get some serious reading done.  Doesn't mean you can write up any reviews so I'll have to catch up with a couple of those soon.

"The tomebstone was nearly six feet tall, weathered and mottled with lichen.  A pair of fat-cheeked cherubs framed the inscription 'How short is life, how soon comes death.'  Soon comes death.  So very true.  She was late, his bride, his partner 'til death do us part.  More than ten bloody minutes late, he noticed, checking his watch yet again.  Had she no sense of occasion?  Didn't she care that he was standing there in the cold, waiting for her?  Soon it would be dark.  People would start leaving work to go home and they would miss their chance."

I'm about half way through this now and I confess to really enjoying it thus far.
