holiday and really,really
liked it. Dimitri and Nick in one book, bliss. Maybe the end
was a bit rushed and pat, but it did me fine. I had heard
that Nick was going on the back burner and the Dimitri
Karras/Marcus Clay story line was being taken up, but I may
be wrong(I usually am ) And, John, my husband has just read
Motherless Brooklyn(yes he liked it lots) and commented that
the Tourette's of the main character was just like living in
our house, our oldest has ADD and is prone to comments
apropos of totally nothing and has his own catalogue of
tics.But he loves reading, so hopefully he'll be on the
Chandlers before too long.Are there any hardish boiled books
for older children? Jane
