Daylight Saving begins today and I oversleep. I didn't go to bed until 3.00 this morning. I got greedy. I finished False Witness and started another book by the same author, Investigation. I read both books for the first time 28 years ago, and I read them again 10 years later.
Last night I read them again for the third time. I'm sure sometime in the future, when I'm not too busy wandering around in an underground bazaar in Istanbul, or searching for Lemur in Madagascar, and traveling to Corsica or simply get my hands dirty in my garden I will read again any of her books.
Dorothy Uhnak's books are the only detectives/crimes books I enjoy to read. The first time I read her books was back in 1979 when I was in San Jose, California.
I've always wondered why didn't she write any more books after the last book she wrote in 1993, The Ryer Avenue Story. With my eyes half-opened I googled Dorothy Uhnak and it turned out she died in summer last year.
Try to get False Witness or Investigation or The Ledger for a start, your eyes will be glued on the pages.
Anyway, I skip the gym, get myself a cup of coffee, sit on the bench and enjoy the lovely morning.
